The reason we have a government is so they can make policies and standards for citizens to live by. On the other hand, the citizens should follow the standards and policies given to them so the country is easier to govern. Citizens should speak out against what they see as wrong and what needs to be changed. The government should listen to these complaints and fix them. In order for a government to fix the problems seen in a country, the people need to first follow the rules and structures given to them to follow. These simple rules are to be abided by every citizen. These miniscule rules are such as, paying taxes, following the laws, and to not take advantage of the government by living off of it, when they are fully capable to work and support themselves. The government’s job is made easier when people do follow the rules and live by what’s right. This gives the government and its people joint control of how they are governed. Also, it helps the government to find solutions to societal ills and help problems that are put forth.
