How much control should governments have over its
citizens?
The government
is established to maintain the conditions for the country development. This
includes the protection of people’s rights. The government should not control
anyone. In a democraacy, the laws and rules are a result of people decisions.
The citizens should control the government.
The society
nowadays is influenced by many situations that seem to be unnecessary for a
good life. This conditions may be a sort of control from groups that have a lot
of power. The government is one of the groups which had gained more and more
control over people. As, Christof says in the Truman Show, “We accept the reality of the world with which we're presented. It's as
simple as that.” Then we need to discuss what we can do in our own
communities to improve our lives and to make our decisions respected by the
government within the democratic participation.
Government
should support freedom and the necessary order to maintain our society. The
government decisions should be the people’s decisions. We have to think of our
actions as part of the community and the country to get a better society.
A wise and fair dictator would be………I don’t agree. I
think that a dictator is someone who takes the power against people decisions.
People should fight corruption of elected officials who have to be prosecuted;
but we need the right to elect our leaders. Keeping rules always produces the best results.I agree with that.
The rules are necessary but maybe we should discuss whether some rules are fair
or not, especially government decisions that affect people. Breaking rules never results……..I agree with
that. If we break the rules there would be serious consequences, but again some
rules seem to be not fair, in politics. Science and Technology have………I don’t
completely agree. Science and Technology are very important tools to improve
people’s lives, but everyone could contribute with their personal actions to
that purpose. Equality, civility and security………..I agree with
that. We need a society where we can improve ourselves in the best conditions,
we need freedom, equality and justice. The ability to control nature………I agree with
that. Humans have several instruments and technology to control and change the
nature, but we need to establish limits to prevent the environment destruction.
People are better off if they……….I think that we
need to be strong enough when we have problems. Sometimes we need help from
others. Polite relationships are …………I agree with
that. When we respect each other we could have better relationships with
people. The best way to contribute………I don’t
completely agree, because we can trust in some leaders. We could contribute
better with the participation of the people in our own community. Love is often an impulsive emotion…………..I don’t agree,
because when we do something for our community we are sharing part of our own
life with others.
