SOL Pretest – Government

A closer look at the politics and the current circumstances in this country is enough, to see with what the government has to struggle. It is one of the, if not the hardest job on the world to run such a big and powerful country like theUS. A politician can always do a great work, but he will never satisfy every person in this country. However, the government cannot look after every small inner-social problem and solve it. It is up to every citizen of theUSto take more responsibility and care for himself than relying on the government.

As mentioned before, the government struggles with a lot of different problems like the oils catastrophe in theGulf of Mexicoor the financial crisis. This makes it harder for the government to notice all the other smaller problems. The people of a community are just closer to the issue and know what is going on. This indicates the need of being active and trying to solve the problem on one’s own; rather than waiting endlessly long for help, because the government did not see the actual situation. The government often cannot evaluate the problem, because it has not a connection to it like the people do.

Another point is about cooperation among the people. Of course, not everybody can afford that much money like the government, but the people can join together. Let’s say that there is a big hole in a street, but the town does not get the money from the government to fill it. However, the people of the community still can get together and collect money to afford the repair. The people are just required to show some more solidarity. Everybody can give a little amount of money; and even if it is just some cents, he still helps his community. One for all and all for one!

Even a thought further shows that the government is stuck in a hard situation. The government can get any amount of money at any time to spend on the society and its problems, but where would that lead to? The country will simply sink more and more in dept, preparing for the next economical crisis. Who will be responsible for the unemployment then?

Finally, it can be resumed that the people have to be aware of the possibilities to improve their society and how to find a way to fight the problems they have. Of course, every citizen of this country can ask for help, which the government provides to everybody. However, this period of time is about being active, communicating and taking more responsibility for one self. Everybody can improve the world, just with taking care and looking out for ways to solve problems.
