World government

Imagine a world where everyone is being constantly watched by the government through hidden cameras in everyone’s own house and the only source of news comes straight from the government. People’s only source of news is controlled and regulated to make society comply with the government no matter what. That was an example of a dystopia, dystopias are societies that usually are futuristic and an illusion of a perfect society made by several things. Corporate, religious, technological, and…

and imprisonment. If a government has the power to irrationally penalize someone simply due to the emphasis on national security, society becomes an increasingly dangerous one to live in. The North Korean regime is extreme, but even U.S. took extreme efforts depicted by the Japanese internment camps during World War II less than 100 years ago. Compared to a world where the government has access to all personal conversations and private information, a world where the government has no power to…

“Resistance to Civil Government,” is that one man can make a large impact on their government. The writer, Henry David Thoreau, states, “It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will.” Once one man gives the government his input on a subject, other men with the same idea will come forward. The government will then have to examine the men’s thoughts and see if their system is flawed. The quote shows that a man is stronger than the government,…

Greeks and Persians wouldn 't be known if, it wasn 't for their government. Also, Central authority has led to the demise of countries such as the Soviet Union, Cuba and North Korea due to corrupted leaders. In The Anthem by Ayn Rand and “From Declaration of sentiments and Resolutions.” by Elizabeth Cady Stanton both convey the message that the government hinders personal independence. Personal independence is being affected by the government intervening in personal matters or not showing enough…

America is a special country. We Americans have more rights than most other countries in the world. One of these rights is the right to vote. While we have the right to vote, only half of the registered voters in America have actually voted in the last 40 years. We have one of the lowest polling rates of all the democratic countries. It is mostly because people are lazy or they forget to register but some of them have a point. They don’t think that they need to vote because there are millions of…

A government's duty is to protect it's citizens from external and internal forces. They must be fairly utilitarian in this respect at times because they have to balance the needs of the many of the needs of a few. Sometimes this means that a government agency will do something an individual citizen would get jail time for, and as long as the end result is the protection of it's citizen's, very little happens to said agency. For…

trust anyone because everyone was schooled to spy and report on any activity of another person, including husbands on wives, children on parents, friend to friend. Their world was filled with fear, distrust, hatred for each other and a general distaste for life. This is the worst way for a government to rule a society. Government Control as displayed in 1984 is restricting people from having any individuality because they are not able to think, love or display any human aspects and…

History has affected the way all of us are living our lives right now to this day. It has led to new concepts that people have adopted, new technology, and new ideas that have evolved throughout time. Early modern Europe and the scientific revolution have contributed to the development of these conditions. Events that support these conditions are the Inquisition and Galileo, Thomas Hobbes and his theory of the state of nature, and art from artists like Vermeer. Each of the previously mentioned…

How Far Are We Willing To Take Equality “There’s nothing wrong with you, there’s a lot wrong with the world you live in,” was once said by a wise man named Chris Colfer. In the story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, the world is distorted to show complete equality. The government forces people to be altered by handicaps because they are “too smart” or “too beautiful.” The author uses this world to show that although equality is what many strive for, it should have its limits. The author uses…

As civilians, there are certain fundamental pieces of our history and government that all Americans should know. This knowledge ranges from our rights and governmental functions to our nations beginning and shortcomings. Despite the apparent importance of civic literacy, it has been consistently found that Americans have little knowledge about their own country. This proves to be harmful in many ways proven through lack of political involvement, incorrect knowledge and the depolarization of our…
