I agree with this statement and the reasons listed as to why we need a government. To add to the points of evacuation, some people would be able to eascape the hurricane ahead, if they had enough resources and money. But others would be left behind, because they are unaware, cannot leave their home (possibly their most valuable asset), and do not have the ability to leave. In addition, after a natural disaster, no one will be there to help and fund the rebuild of the devastation. Water is a necessity to all humans and without the insurance of its safety, how would we survive? Violence would erupt, because there are no more rules and officers to keep people safe. The future generation would not be able to fix this problem, because people would not want to change. And they would not be educated enough to be able to run a government. The line etween the rich and poor would become more defined, and people would lose their sense of security.

Government is crucial to the well-being of a nation's citizens and growth of a state. First, governments protect people's rights and offer them equality in terms of opportunity and justice. Second, a government provides security from other countries attacking, local crimes, and terrorist attacks through police, military, FBI, and other government-run organizations. Also, they provide public services including: fire fighters, paving roads, court, and education for all. Government provides healthcare for those who cannot afford it, so they and their families can be healthy. Minimum wage is also instilled by the government. This ensures that people will not be underpaid for their services and businesses cannot take advantage of their employees. Laws made by the government, protect others' freedom and safety; laws also help provide for government services,because it is required for one to pay taxes. The stop signs, traffic lights, construction workers, and traffic operator are all paid for by the government, and provide order and safety to those who are walking, driving, biking, or near a road. Governments also provide guideline or strict rules for business and cities to follow for the good of their citizens and environment. Without a government, the smell of outside would be gross because no more trash pick-up, there would be no more clouds or sunshine because smog is covering it, and no way of telling what the weather will be like because there is no weather forecaster anymore. Education would be meaningless: would kids even go to school, would teachers be teaching accurate information, and would the school buildings be able to function? Government provides several policies and services so the state’s people can benefit. Also, laws protect people from eating food with false nutrition labels, and their safety with guidelines for manufactured products. Patents, given out by the government, provide income and authenticity to those who create those products and new ideas. Whether one realizes it or not, the government provides countless services, laws, rules, and jobs so a nation is able to function. Even if some have opposing views on government, it still unites us, because it is what allows us to live our lives safely, freely, and easily. It is the one thing that every single citizen shares with the next, we all benefit from having a government.
