The Controversy Of Digital Media

a. The government gets its power from the people of the Unites States of America.

b: The main point of excerpt two is that the Government must implement reasonable laws that will govern the people and itself. That laws can help move a country forward, but as times change, laws must change to best fit the situations at hand.

If citizens allow the government to have more control, then society should fear the government will have too much power. Citizens should be able to have privacy and freedoms, in order to not let the government control their lives. If no one stands up for their freedoms, soon the freedoms will be easily taken

The government’s role for the people is to challenge them like how contestants from “The Amazing Race” or “Fear Factor” are challenged. Government should be like a reality competition show filled with adventure and danger (Amazing Race, 2003) (Fear Factor, 2005). Just like the government in “The Hunger Games” (Collins, 2008). People should compete for rights and liberties. The competitions can be held under the government’s supervision. These competitions can involve multiple life daring tasks and only the ones that survive win. The losers or the ones not so fortunate die in the process, a true fight to the death. Government works from a federal standpoint and does not get involved in local affairs.

Document B: If a power is not given to the national government; then the states or the people keep it.

Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its new foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most

4. Name 3 reasons why we need government. 1) Keep order. 2) Provide services. 3) To prevent anarchy (lack of government)

i. Preserve the power, independence, and sovereignty of the states and ensure that the central government would not encroach on the liberty of the people.

There exists a fine line between the degree of responsibility a government has for its citizens, and the control it assumes to ensure the proliferation of its power. While freedom may be a traditional American value, how it is defined is a question that has long been a source of debate. Furthermore, when an institution follows a course of action that becomes detrimental to society, what responsibility, if any, do the citizens have to show their dissent, and what form should that dissent take?

People need the government to guide and control them; for they can have freedom. The people need the government to direct and advised them, which will allow them to furish in a free society. Additionally,

For centuries, the United States government has created a notorious name for itself while becoming more inexpedient for the people’s rights. The government should apply their focus towards preventing what has occurred in the past. Some of those events included forcing petrified men into war, creating laws that emphasized racial segregation, and harming the ecosystem with devastating devices. There are moments of favorable actions casted by the government occur in rare occasions; however, these responses do not cast a shadow over the depth of the crime against their people. From the aspects of the citizens, a vote against the government could not only help more than just clear up faulty mistakes, but make the government rest on a strong foundation settled by the people with a caring heart.

from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence ,indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly all experience hath shown that

Since the beginning of humanity, there have always been the rulers, and the ruled. The rulers have always been the government, and the ruled has always been the people. One would believe that the government would be truthful and be interested in their people's well being, but clearly, this is not the case. In fact, lies are often more common than the truth. Facts are changed based on the governing party's current needs. The government wants to control their people, to have an unquestioning, thoughtless population that make them more powerful, as this is their main priority. As a generalisation, the government is more interested in their well-being than that of the people who drive it.

For all of history there has existed the struggle between the strong and the weak. The establishment of government gives the power to a particular group to decide the amount of freedom the majority is allowed, however, though not ideal it provides necessary order. The benefits of security that limitations on freedom provides must be balanced with the individual's pursuit of happiness for citizens to be content. To prevent the governed majority from destabilizing the rulers and seeking power, the government will oppress political and personal freedom of thought. In result, the majority will live under the illusion of contentment and not wish to revolt; those enlightened to the idea that the government should be ruled by the governed, would associate happiness only with ignorance and consequently seek freedom.

Government would be used minimally as a tool to help to prevent injustice’s from being done to the people. Government would protect the people from foreign attack, to guarantee contracts, and to uphold the peoples right to private property.
