Government is necessary because without laws people would be out of order. The reason that is true because without laws robbers would be running lose breaking and entering. It would also be under age drinking and driving. The human nature would be brutish and short. We need laws to preserve order in our society.

First of all government is necessary because without laws there would be lots of robbers running lose stealing from people, store, and banks. The robbers would be breaking into homes and stealing your household products. When the robbers are robbbing the bank they are not only stealing from the bank they are taking your life savings. As the robbers keep stealing from the stores the prices will go up because the owners need more money. After a while the robber will start to steal cars and since there is no law it won’t be a crime. So your missing car won’t be important enough to be found because there is no law that says that is a crime. Not being able to walk down the street can be a big problem.


Secondly government is necessary because with the laws that was made it keep us from being selfish and brutish. Like Thomas Hobbes said ‘’humans nature was poor, nasty, brutish, and short’’. Human nature is like that when there is no law because the laws are there to protect us. Laws are there to protect us from destroying one another. For an example when I did a balloon experiment with my class we each split up into groups to see what team could get the most balloons in a small box. The children were popping the team balloons so they could win. The children were destroying the other team balloons because there was no law that said they couldn’t pop the balloons. If there is no law people will do anything when they have no limits.



Lastly, I personally would have to say that the government is to help keep safety in our streets by setting laws such as the drinking or driving law. I take this personally seeing that last summer my best friend got hit by a drunk driver when she was coming home from work at 10:00pm. She was crying and left in the street to die until a stranger called 911. I rush as soon as I could to the Jefferson Hospital and ever since then I never took a like to alcohol.



To sum it up government is necessary because without laws there would be robbers on the loose breaking into homes and killing people every day. It is not fair to take away families without penalties, for them being left out there to keep doing the same thing to other over and over again. Children being in danger of being kidnapped and never being found. Everyone lives in danger when they walk out their home and when their at home. Underage drinking and driving can lead to car crashes and other problems. Think about it, is this the kind of life you want to live. Do you want people to get away with their crimes? Now you tell me do you think government is necessary.
