In history/present day we have always had a government. We have always lived with laws and rules. We always had someone or something to keep control. The truth is the human mind is gullible. We would be confused if we didn’t have any form of government. However, it still does not mean we can not live without it. Having a government can be very useful and help control the people. Society may not need it. However in reality we wouldn’t know what to do without it.
Governments are not always necessary. In some cases the government can just make society worse than better. We have been convinced that governments are necessary for our entire lives. We think this because our own government has drilled this idea. During the Great Depression the stock market crashed. However, the truth behind the Great Depression was not the stock market. It was caused by a massive government failure. It was led by the Federal Reserve’s. Which is a rapid 25 percent contraction of the money supply. There can be a nation without a leadership or any type of government. Things can be peaceful. If the government gets in control. the results will lead to power hungry by many people. Northern Ireland at one point did not have a government. It did not have a government for two years. Northern Ireland found itself without a government of its own. This occurred after deputy first minister Martin McGuinness walked out. This situation is unique. The absence of political leadership has not seen public services collapse. Many people are able to go about their normal, daily business. Exactly what is the point of a government. There are people who have learned to cope and live without one. We often do not need a government. However, without it there may cause problems. Mankind is not used to living a life without a government.
A government is not necessary. But a nation would be a mess without it. Without a government and laws people will do what they please. They know there will be no consequences. Having consequences for societies bad actions is what mainly restricts them. It restricts them from breaking any laws. Human beings are selfish. If there was a country without an institution to set the rules/laws. There would be too many people taking advantage of it. Many would be acting for their own benefits. Unlike Northern Ireland which has learned to prosper without a government. Somalia became an anarchy due to lack of government. Somalia was torn apart by the lack of governmental stability. This lead to an increase of crime. This then leaded to an economic crisis, ending out at piracy. Living in a country where you could not afford food or education. Where your everyday life consists of watching people get hurt. Watching the people you care about get sucked into a bloody feud fueled. Watching it be corrupt by money and child soldiers. In which your only options that are “reasonable” are join the war. Enough for your friends and family to live in a comfortable environment. In a world with different kinds of people everywhere. There will always be some kind of violence and abuse. Especially by the ones who consider themselves to be stronger than others. The ones seeking for power.
Overall in history there has really not not been a government. We would not know how society is without one. Humankind have always believed that we need control. However this does not mean we need a government. It does not mean we need one to have a steady society. It also does not mean we do not need a government. In most cases without a government it will lead to chaos. People using their own selfish acts. Do whatever it takes to have power. Society would be a mess without it. A government is not necessary. However humankind has made it inevitable to live without it. We need some sort of control.
