Government

What the point of government? Do we really need it? Many people have different point of views on government. Some people believe in the same point of view like Hobbes or Locke. When it comes to me, I strongly feel that government is necessary for a few reasons. Government is necessary because government provides human with direction and rules. Another reasons are that government gives people order. It also gives people protection.

Government give people a since of direction and rules. Without the government there would be complete and utter chaos. When there is no since of direction people start taking matter into their own hands. For example, in Louisiana there is complete chaos because of hurricane Karenina. There is no guidance right now in Louisiana and people are stealing and the crimes are off the chart. This is all occurring because there are is no direction going on. Another example is the “Fever of 1793” which describes the epidemic when lots of people in Philadelphia caught yellow fever and lots of people died. Soon as this fever was discovered most of our government official fled the city so there was no to give direction therefore, there was lots of crime to going on. Without direction it will be complete and utter chaos in the world.

I believe that government walks hand and hand with human natural. You can’t have one with out the other. Human are not perfect we all do thing weren’t pride of. I also believe we all have a competitive edge. For example when we did this balloon excersie everybody was cheating. No one followed the two rules we had. This occur because are teacher gives us two rules which was get as many balloon in the square as possible and if a balloon fall on the floor don’t pick it up. If our teacher gives us more then two rules and watch us more, the game would be more organize. This prove that human are natural competitive because our teacher didn’t tell us that we were competing together we just assumed that we were. We really could have work together to get the maximum point and we all could have won. Thomas Hobbes said that human are solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. I only agree with his statement half because I believe that human competitive nature bring out the worst in us. Meaning when we are competing we are sometime like what Thomas Hobbes was saying. We need government to make sure no one is cheating and following the rule.

However, even though I believe in some of Hobbes view involving government I also believe in some of Locke view on government. Locke believes that human are have natural right that need to be protect and, the government should protect those right. If the government fails to protect those rights then you should be able to over throw the government. I do believe that we were born free and we have natural right. I also believe that the government should protect those rights. For example, in the Untied States we have certain have right and our government protect those right. If something happen were they fail to do so we can take it up with them and get our right back, like the civil right movement. A government should provide protection for there people. I agree with Locke completely.

In conclusion, I believe government is completely necessary for a few. Which are giving direction, and rules, matinee order, and providing protection. If your government fails to do that you should be able to over throw the government. What do you believe in?
