Since the environmental movement began four decades ago, there have been many differing opinions as to what role the government should play in protecting and preserving the environment. What standards should government set and at what expense? Most environmental or “green” issues are often presented as choices of either economic growth or environmental protection. This idea of having to choose between the environment and the economy has often delayed the green movement from making necessary strides
The Government Should Respect Property Rights Imagine you’ve been enjoying your backyard picnic table and chairs for the past 10 years when suddenly, for no apparent reason, you are served notice from a government agency that you will be fined $6,000 a day unless you remove them.

Government Should Establish Program To Reduce Juvenile Crime Juvenile crime is increasing rapidly and is a problem that plagues America. The murder rate by 18 year olds has increased 467% since 1965! The current policy maintained for the last number of decades is clearly not effective.

" It’s safe to say that the government has at least some responsibility to monitor internet content. Some extreme liberals may say the government should have zero duties or powers to monitor internet content, however, we must keep in mind that an unregulated internet could be a huge threat to America as a nation and to individual citizens. Though these possible threats should not be used as a lever to give the government full control over internet content. The must be a limit. The question
role of the government in regulating the internet and its content has increasingly been coming into question. The issue is often between how much the government can be involved for the safety of its citizens while still maintaining their privacy.

legitimate government can be defined as a government that is has approval from the people, has the right to govern the people, is in control of a nation, and is recognized by the community.

"Should the Government Monitor the Internet? Today the internet is not a safe place. But it still shouldn’t be monitored by the government. People may want it to be monitored, but right after that happens they’re going to want it gone. Just think, everything you do will be seen by the Government, and I mean everything. Would you want that? But what are the pros about having everything we do on the internet viewed by the Government? First, it would be a way safer place because most places like

The People Should Have the Ultimate Power Within the U.S. Government The State and National government derive their power from the consent of the people. This ensures that the people have control over their own government through social, economic, and political aspects. “‘The power surrendered by the people’ would be ‘divided between two distinct governments,’ creating a balance of power that would enable the ‘different governments [to] control each other.’” The public is the catalyst of the legislature
against your individual rights for the government to monitor your social media? This is the question that is very controversial among government officials and the people of the U.S..

United States, it is now in almost 99% of our homes. Thus, this influence raises the question, how far should the government be involved in monitoring the internet? With the most recent Net Neutrality issue, the government has now become tangled with constant debate about free market. However, because of society’s personal involvement with the network, it is my firm belief that the government should be involved to some minimal degree when it comes to protecting the people’s privacy.

as our personal freedom. The government impacts this personal freedom by violating it on numerous occasions through the use of security cameras. Examples of these are seen at airports, traffic lights, and neighborhoods. There are many reasons why we should think of this as problematic. I claim that we should limit government surveillance because it is a threat to our democracy, not only because it infiltrates the people’s freedom and privacy, but because the government is irresponsible on how they
