There are many people that say that our lives would be better without the government, while there are others that say, without the government, our lives would be total chaos. In my eyes, our lives without the government would be chaos mainly because we would have no order in our society and every and anybody would be able to just do whatever they wanted. There are of course many people all over the country that say that the government in bringing our society down and that life without it would be much better, but for one to make this decision, they need to look at all the facts and all the effects it would have on everyone around the world. No matter what the government does, people will always be angry at them or totally agree with them, but getting rid of the government all together is something that shouldn't happen, because no one can predict what would happen.
In our world, the government is something that brings order to our society and without it, our society would be out of control. One way that one could look at it is through the eyes of the movie, The Purge. In this movie, it shows our society many years in the future and how the government allows murder, robbery and anything else that might be illegal on any other day completely legal for twelve hours. One can look at this movie and say that instead of twelve hours, it would be twenty-four- seven and that is a world that I and many others would not want to live in.
Without rules and punishments for breaking those rules, our world would be completely different from the way we live now. All our lives we have had rules and when we were youger time outs, or not being able to go out to recess were our punishments for breaking those rules either at home or at school. Those punishments though taught us that if we wanted to go have fun with our friends and wanted to be able to watch our favorite show, we had to follow those rules that either our teacher or parents set for us. Growing up, both parents and teachers have given us a little more freedom, but rules will still exist no matter how old you are, so can you imagine how our life's would be if we didn't have those rules or punishments, when saying that statement, one question comes to mind, would you still be the same kind of person you are now or would you be someone totally different?
Thinking about how different out lives would be without the government is defiantly an eye opener, something some people might say they don't even want to think about, but in reality it is something that people think about all the time. Us as humans have created something that called governing bodies and we created it to make sure that things are orderly and also for the fact that not just one major government has control over every single thing. We have order and we also have control with these bodies, take the government away, then what do you have, nothing. People around the country like to have order and stability and therefore, governing bodies were created and therefore our society has maintain not so much chaos. Life without all of this would lead to chaos and absolute craziness, without it, people would be able to do whatever they wanted wherever and whenever they please.
Some say it's good that we have a government controlling things in our everyday life and there are others that say that life would be better, personally I think that without the government, life as we know it would be gone. We have order because we have rules and punishments and from those two, comes the way we live our everyday lives, and of course there are governing bodies to make sure that there isn't just one thing controlling everything. Obviously no one can predict what would happen if there really wasn't a government, and some people like it that way while others wish they knew what that life would be like, but to me and many others, having a government is something that this society needs. With the government comes rules and punishments that keeps this world go round, though there are people that may not like these rules, they have to think that it's a better life then without them.
I agree about how our life without the government would be like The Purge! It would be very scary to live a life like that for the rest of your life. I also agree that although we may not always like what the government does, life without it would be unimaginable.
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison with "The purge." I like how you ended the third paragraph with a question to make the reader think. I also agree that society would be in chaos. I like how you're telling us that even though we may not like the government, it's still a positive thing to have.
