The Government Inspector

Democracy. It is what gives Americans pride. It is why Americans say the pledge of allegiance, put their hands on their heart during the national anthem, and it is why the American flag is displayed proudly and deliberately by many Americans around the country. So it may come as a shock that in a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2007, 69% of Americans did not know the name of the vice president.

What is the purpose of government? Is there an ideal organizational structure that a country could employ to ensure that a government serves its people to the best of its ability? Karl Marx and Max Weber, like others before and after them, both strove to help answer these questions.

Scientists, when it comes to responsibility, will take credit when something helps people, but not when something kills a lot of people. If people’s tax dollars are paying for something, people do have a right to say what is being done with your tax money. Most scientists, if you ask them, will say that they have ethics.

In chapter 6, Dahl discusses some major topics about equality in regards to the government. Dahl debates the different equality as being self-evident, but people do not adopt it because opportunities are not equally distributed at birth. Certain circumstances and luck have compounded initial difference. A famous French writer was stupefied at the degree of social equality in the United States. Although, inequality appears to be a natural condition of humankind. Equality and inequality can take…

The government affects my life in many ways. First, I will break down the different types of government in the American Democracy. Local government is the closest to home for us. This can be our city police department, our public administration of the towns, cities or counties we live in.
