There has never been a perfect government. A perfect government is nearly impossible because there would not be room for misinterpretation. Nearly every human that walks the earth, has agreed to be a part of a government whether the government is perfect, unjust, or simply led by one person. Protection, safety, and government-run assistance programs are some examples of why people would join a government.
Society as we know it is constantly changing. Because society evolves, it is very difficult to maintain one strict set of rules to follow. In America, The Constitution was written to accommodate for changing times yet, the accommodations are hard to come by. It's very difficult to change an amendment because we have based our country on happiness. By this, I mean happiness in a majority. In order for a change in an amendment or law, the majority vote must be in favor of the changes.
Happiness in a society is hard to come by because not everyone is accepting over new or old things. As society changes, the way that we communicate and interpret different phrases also change. These differences cause many problems when it comes to misinterpretation. Laws, freedoms, and certain expectations that are misinterpreted can cause life long problems including loss of jobs, economic issues, or a simple dent in your reputation. As a police officer, there are certain procedures that you are required to follow in order for arresting someone. These procedures include receiving a search warrant. Search warrants are necessary as we are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures. Certain exceptions to the procedures are evident, but the exceptions can cause confusion in just one work force.
Although there has not been an everlasting government to this date, that does not mean there will never be one. The perfect government must overcome barriers such as confusion, misinterpretation, and unhappiness. It will adapt old laws to better fit the country's present and future needs in a just way. The perfect government is yet to come.
I really enjoyed reading your blogpost; you were thoughtful, well-spoken, and had relevant hyperlinks. However, I did find that your topics got a bit nebulous at times; you discuss interpretations and expectations about the law changing in societies over time, but you provide no tangible example of this, just the vague "certain expectations" or "economic issues". All the same, I like your writing style. Your ideas flow clearly, and I think I got what you were saying.
ReplyDeleteNice Work!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the topic you picked. It's different than what the majority of the class did, and it still managed to tie in well. Personally I found it a little hard to understand where your ideas were going. It seemed to just sort of loop, restating the same things several times. I think that this is really something you could build on if you wanted to.
