Government and society are interlinked through complex systems of governance and civic engagement that determine how public resources are allocated, policies are made, and rights are protected. The relationship between governmental actions and societal outcomes is critical to understanding power dynamics, citizen rights, and the effectiveness of different forms of governance in addressing public needs.

A central debate in the context of government and society concerns the balance between freedom and security. Discussions often revolve around how much freedom citizens should sacrifice in order to gain security or how transparent a government needs to be to its citizens. Other debates include the effectiveness of different governmental systems, such as democracy versus autocracy, in promoting economic and social well-being.

Recent protests around the world, from Hong Kong to Belarus, provide vivid examples of citizens demanding greater democracy and transparency from their governments. The ongoing debates over privacy and security, especially concerning technology use and surveillance practices, also highlight critical issues at the intersection of government actions and personal freedoms.

A governmentโs role is only to provide defence capability and urban infrastructure such as roads, water supply. All other services such as education, healthcare, social security should be provided by private entities.
Do you agree or disagree?
The viewpoint the sole responsibilities of a government should be to maintain national defense and develop city infrastructure, while responsibility for education, healthcare, and social security ought to be managed by the private sector is contentious. I totally disagree with this perspective, as it leads to political and social instability and the lack of a safety net for the less fortunate.
The main reason I disagree that the governmentโs role should be limited is because it will lead to a less stable society. This is because the provision of a full range of services addresses broader societal issues that affect stability, such as unemployment, public discontent, and economic disparities. For example, during my time volunteering on community development projects, I observed that state initiatives in social housing significantly reduced local crime rates and fostered a more secure and harmonious community environment.
Moreover, I believe that governments should be involved in providing essential services because they can offer a comprehensive safety net for society’s vulnerable individuals. This includes the elderly, the unemployed, and those unable to afford private healthcare or schooling. By providing these fundamental services, politicians can prevent unnecessary suffering to individuals and ensure that the human rights of all of their citizens are upheld.
In conclusion, I completely disagree with the notion that political leaders should restrict their roles to only defence and infrastructure while leaving other functions to private organisations. A government’s ability to use its resources to increase political and social stability and provide a safety net for the less fortunate is crucial for fostering a unified, stable society. These roles are integral to ensuring that all citizens have fair access to essential services, thereby supporting the overall prosperity and stability of the nation.
