Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I believe that it is essential to have a government because it allows control and safety. Without control such as law enforcement or government people would have little reason to obey laws so violence would be ever present. Other lesser crimes like speeding and running lights would likely be disobeyed frequently causing a greater amount of car accidents (This includes motorcycles, buses, etc.) thus causing more deaths. Deaths and accidents could also be caused by little maintenance of the roads and traffic lights. Some people would likely take law into their own hands and kill no fair trial. Going along with this, simple arguments could easily escalate to violence and death. Laws also include safety regulations on anything from cars to food to houses which could have terrible effects. Assuming there was no government in the first place there would be no current or prior regulations on anything. This means water could be contaminated, food could become hazardous from overuse of pesticides, and structures and cars would fall apart from poor materials or rushed construction. Another factor is vaccines would not be necessary and disease could then spread much more easily. And there would be no public education so doctors would be rarer which would further escalate the problem. Along with doctors most careers that require any college education would be in short supply. No government would also mean no public fire departments so fire departments would be rarer and be largely private companies which would charge people to put out fires. Having no government would also mean areas hit by natural disasters would receive little aid and no mandatory evacuations which would cause more casualties. All in all, I believe that it is essential to have a government because it allows safety and control.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

In my opinion, government is necessary. Without a government there would be no regulations, public education, public healthcare, or laws. There would be a state of chaos. A good government ensures the safety and happiness of the people. Therefore, a government is necessary in order for the people to live a comfortable life. Without things such as regulations we wouldn’t know what is safe or not. Tap water could be dangerous, most food would be questionable in origin too. Most adults would not be educated due to lack of public education. Also, many people would get sick and die due to lack of public healthcare. Overall, government is necessary.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I think a government is necessary because we rely on it more than we think we do. For example, when roads get paved, someone has to pay for it. It's not just random people or companies paying - it's tax payer dollars that the government requires people to pay in order to provide these services. Also, without a government there would be no moral values or laws prohibiting people from doing whatever they want. This would force people to live in constant fear of their lives at all times and not have any form of authority figure to tell people to stop. Furthermore, without a government there would likely also not be an economic system or form of currency. This is due to the government being responsible for them. And with no currency or economic system, everyone would just go around stealing whatever they need. Lastly, without a government, there wouldn't be good foreign relationships. This would be due to the fact that there is no sense of authority and no one could really get elected or be chosen to represent their country. With this, the world could constantly be at conflict.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

In my opinion government is necessary. I think the best type of government that is needed is a democracy because one group with power divided amongst other groups. The purpose of a government is to keep civilized control over a society or group of people and if this isn't present then who will there be to keep the control of the people? A government will create laws for these people to abide by to keep peace with exceptional punishment for breaking them. At the same time, people can feel that they have some power in this by giving them a choice in who should be running the state or country that they live in. If we consider there being no government, this would cause many more frequent arguments and disputes among society. This would lead to tensions rising and possibly shootings and an increase number in deaths. Also, in a world with no government, there would be no public services such as first responders, water supply, gas supply, etc. In a result of having a government, these things would not happen because people will pay taxes and the world will be much safer. In conclusion, government is necessary because it will keep society safe and under control.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

It is necessary for a nation to have a government for several reasons. First, governments have the power to regulate and fund public works, including bridges, roads, and hospital. Without regulations in place for these things, they could become much more dangerous to utilize, and there would be no way to fund them in the first place. Second, without a government, violent criminals would be more difficult to deal with, as there would be no police to enact justice. Granted, most people aren't bloodthirsty criminals, but how would one punish, say, a murderer in a police-less society? (Vigilant police squads might also form, but they would cause more harm than good.) Third, governments provide financial aid to lower-income citizens through systems such as food stamps. The amount of people in poverty in a given nation would grow exponentially. Fourth, if a society's government were to fall, the society would just create a new government themselves. A society must be organized in some way in order to function and prosper.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

Although I do believe a government isnt completley neccisary for human survival, I do think that life would be much harder without one. If you look at any Anarchist society today, you will be able to see this clearly. Although some might be able to live decent lives, they live without running water, economic stability, or clean energy a majority of the time. Another example would be public works. Although taxes are rather annoying, its still nice to have their benefits. Without taxes, our roads would be in disrepair, our water contaminated, and food poisoned. There are certainly ways that you could run an effective society without a government, but it wouldnt be able to reach the strength, intelect, or size of modern day powers like Russia, the US, and China.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I believe the government is necessary for many reasons.the first reason is without a government we would not be able to trust the water or food because the government regulates what is good.Second is if we had no government so many people would get hurt or killed because there would not be any safty laws.Third without a government who would protect us from violent atackes from other countrys or governments.Fourth reason is because currency would be worthless.Also the government keeps order to our every day lives.The government gives us laws for a reason its to protect us and provent us from doing bad and harmful things that could harm others.If we had no government all the people who are dangerous would be set free from prison.There would also not be hospitals because all the workers get paid by the government so injerd people would have no were to go to get help.to conclude the government helps us and protects us so yes the government is necessary.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I believe that having a government is a necessity in order for a society to function properly. First off the government keeps the country in order. Without it people could go off committing crimes with little to no repercussions. Government ensures safety against crimes such as murder, harassment, and theft. Second, the government ensures that our food and water is clean. Through government funded facilities our food and water is tested to make sure it doesn't have an harmful bacteria. Third, lastly i think that the government is necessary in order to provide us with local protection such as police and fire departments. Without them our town would be a completely different place. Lastly if we didn't have a government huge political debates could get out of hand. People would chose which side they wanted and never see a compromise. This could also be an issue because these debates get people very worked up which could lead to violence. Overall, I think that a society should have a government for safety purposes.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I agree with your statement entirely. I agree that without a government, there wouldn't be any order to society. This will cause what would be considered crime rates, if crimes existed, to spike up very high. I agree that government also supplies many safety regulations and services. Overall i agree that the main reasoning behind needing a government leads back to safety for the common good.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

In my opinion, the presence of a government is necessary for a country to be successful. For starters, a government gives order and organization to a society. Without a government there wouldn't be any definite laws to control the people. There would also be no military. Without a military, there wouldn't be protection from other countries attacking/invading. Not only is a government necessary for the large reasons, but there are also many smaller reasons that tend to be forgotten. Although taxes are a burden on many people, they are paid for a reason and supply many services for the greater good of society. There would be no safety regulations or guaranteed safe foods. Without these little things, there would be nothing that individuals can actually trust. The bottom line is, without a government, everything would go to essentially chaos.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I completely think that we need a government. A government is very important and without it everything would be complete chaos. A government gives us laws to follow and protects us from a lot of things and gives us safety, without that everyone would be doing whatever they want without a care in the world and it could end up being dangerous. You could practically kill someone and get away with it if there was no laws to follow. The government also gives us necessary jobs needed everyday. Without a government there would be no jobs so nothing would every be getting done. You could basically just steal money from a bank and not get in trouble for it. So why would you need to have a job if you could just steal money. Like I said before it would be dangerous if we didn't have a government because we would be living with people suffering and having diseases because we would have no one paying for medical things and health care so if you ever get sick you would have no medications to help you get better. Also the water could be very dangerous to drink because you don't have anyone working or testing the water so you never would know if the water is safe to drink or not. All in all I think having a government is very important and is very needed in our society.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I agree with your statement in that there would be no organization in society without a government. Society would be chaos without amenities you mentioned like water and health regulations- without these regulations provided, citizens wouldn't know what was safe. I also liked your point about taxes because although they can seem tedious and unnecessary, they fund many organizations and services that ultimately help the greater good and society as a whole. Also, without a government (as mentioned) there would be no laws. Without laws in place, citizens would be able to commit what would be considered crimes in countries with governments and get away with it, which would eventually lead to a corrupt society.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

Although some will argue there are many flaws within, a government is beneficial for citizens individually and as members of society in many ways. In simplest terms, a government is necessary because in maintains order and balance within a society. Specifically, government provides amenities that might otherwise not be available: public education, emergency services, energy and water systems, etc. Although one could counter that private companies could and do provide these resources, a government is special in that these services are provided without the end goal of profit, thus becoming more accessible. Furthermore, a government is tasked with making laws to better the country. By upholding these laws, safety and security of citizens and the country as a whole is increased. Without a government to create laws, citizens and society would be corrupt as there would be no order or balance. Finally, a government that elects officials (for example, America) allows citizens to be involved in their government. However, with a government it also allows for control in a higher form than citizens soley ruling themselves. Without a government, there would be no order or balance in society, and ultimately society and citizens would become corrupt.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

Without the government we would definitely have problems. There would be no order instead there would be chaos. There would be no laws so nobody is really safe. People wouldn’t have to listen to traffic laws that keep us from having accidents. Also there would be no laws about violence so there would be more of that then there already is. Trash would be everywhere because the garbage people wouldn’t be working. Water wouldn’t get cleaned/purified so water wouldn’t be safe to drink. Our crop foods might not even be safe to eat because there’s no laws anymore about how much chemicals can be used. We would have no military to keep us safe so it would really be like everyone for themselves. Then there would probably be someone trying to get all the “power” and try and make a dictatorship and if there are others that want to be in control that would cause fighting and violence. To prevent all of that we need a government.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I support having a government for many reasons. One main reason is defense. Without the defense that our government supplies, our country would have no way of keeping us safe. Therefor if you were living in a country without a government you would have no way to protect yourself from outside forces. Another way to look at this is not only is your country protecting you from outside forces, but it keeps stability through laws. These laws also keep us from harming each other. These rules and establishments are a big help to us as citizens, such as the natural rights we are given. The laws in place are there for a reason for our safety. Without the government pursuing the laws, our country would not be as secure or stable as it is today. Overall, a government is very important to our society and country.
Debate: Room 122
Side: No

I disagree with your statement. I believe that even if there were no governing bodies doesn't mean that we as citizens can't all unite to defend our country. I mean even if we have no "leader" that doesn't mean we can't open our minds to a different way to defend. We can also still make alliances with other countries by all of us agreeing at a time of distress to seek help from others. Overall I believe that even though there isn't a government doesn't mean that the people of this nation can't come together and protect it.
Debate: Room 122
Side: No

I disagree with you for many reasons. Firstly the people would most likely band together for defense as well as stability within the group. As for laws most likely would stop being the responsibility of the no longer around courts and people would be free to have their own justice. The citizens would still have the natural rights if they could protect them. Also the people would be more likely to help each other and be decent people. That is why I disagree with the opinion that government is needed.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I agree with your statement. I believe that the government providing us with defense is very important to have. With the government providing us with protection it provides us with a security that is need for a successful government. The use of laws is also a very important thing. The government providing/enforcing these laws is a necessity. Without these laws their would be much chaos and it would become unstable because their would be no order. If we where to live without the government then it would quickly spiral out of hand fast. That is why agree with your statement.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I agree with this 100%. Having no Government (as you said) would provide in no way to protect the whole of the country. Being attacked by other countries could result in death and who knows what other horrible things. An example of a situation that could have gone wrong with no Government is the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This divesting event, even though it was unpredicted, was handled as best as it could be by the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Government. Imagine if we had none of those four sources to protect our land from future attacks?! All in all I am saying that user 2022053pd8 is right with saying that the loss of a governement would result in an unsafe country!
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I believe that the presence of a government is absolutely necessary. It is a system that manages to maintain order and peace within our nation, and we would most likely dissolve into chaos without it. Without safety inspections, we would most likely have contaminated water as well as unlivable conditions in our homes. Without traffic laws, car crashes would be much more frequent, and ill care for roads could result in further automobile damage. While we wouldn’t have to pay taxes, that would mean that the government wouldn’t be able to fund anyone else’s needs, thus eliminating banks and organized cash flow. The absence of these systems could potentially result in a loss of currency in general, as well as a complete loss of jobs, leading to poverty. This would mean that police officers would eventually become extinct, leaving criminals to run free. With the addition of stealing and murders, our community would quite possibly become a terrible wasteland. This chaos could most likely spread across the world, leading to complete and total absurdity. This situation could most likely only be helped by fair, peace-keeping forces. With the assistance of our government, we manage to maintain a safe, useful system in which we can reside in ideal conditions.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I totally a agree with everything that you are saying in this argument. Not only does the government have laws and rules to keep us safe, but they also have regulations, like you said, safety inspections. I also agree with what you said when you talked about not paying taxes. Yes it would be nice to no owe the government money, but when you think about the taxes you pa only go back to helping you in the end. I like the way you talked about caring for the roads and how that is also part of the governments job, and part of their job in keeping us safe.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I agree with your statement, because without the government it would be hard to maintain order and peace. Also if we didn't have a government wouldn't another power rise up and take control.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

i agree with your argument the government is here to help,maintain and protect.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

There are multiple reasons why I would prefer to live under a government. First, living under a government would create control and prevent chaos. Life without a government would get out of hand and there would be know-one to stop others. Another reason I would want to live under a government is to be sanitary. This is important because the government takes our trash away and regulates the water and the food we eat. Without a government, these things would not exist. Third, life without a government would be very violent. People would lead all out assaults on others. People would also use drugs and guns which will get out of control, and there would be no law enforcement to control that. All in all, life without a government would get out of hand very quickly and life with a government would stay peaceful.
Debate: Room 122
Side: No

Shut up child, your whole argument is a list of baseless false dichotomies. Just because you cannot imagine anything working without a government doesn't mean it can't.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I believe that government is necessary. The government has many important aspects to it that we could not survive without. For example the government protects people from outside attacks. If it were not for our government people could attack us and we would have nothing to do. At the same time it also protects us from inside attack, by creating laws that say that others cannot hurt us. All and all government is necessary to keep us safe and alive.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

This country, this world, and its people could not and can not survive without a government. Without a strong government taking control, society as we know it would not exist and chaos would be the only left with people being able to do whatever they want. Along with the chaos the only hope the people would have are small nomadic tribes, until someone comes along and reunites them. Until then, these tribes wouldn’t have close to enough strength to defend themselves from outside invaders and most likely would be overtaken easily by outside invaders. The warfare would not only be limited to outside invaders but there would most certainly be constant war between these pockets of humans trying to live which would destroy the ecosystem and life in the area. Since there is no government to direct and protect the people, there won’t be people to invent and and further expand technology, outside of warfare and for the better of the people, and humans would be stuck in the same era for a long time.Since there is no government and no constitution there is no reason/regulations to stop people from punishing people in cruel ways, from torturing peole for everything, and from bringing back slavery. With no organization the giant corporations would either crumble because of the lack of government or would either get more powerful without restrictions and would take over like what happened in the banana republic, which would result in chaos. The powerful corporations would also be able to ignore all the restrictions on harming the environment and could destroy it, deforestation, mining, etc, for its resources. In the darker aspect of this situation would be the mass starvation of the people that are not lucky enough to get help or aren’t able to fend for themselves, as food supplies would be quickly snatched up by the biggest and strongest people. Lastly, without government protection anti-semetic and other racist groups, like the K.K.K, would be able to rise and enact terrible things against groups of people and if they grow powerful enough there won’t be anyone to stop them, leading to mass death. To wrap-up, without a government the people of the nation and the world would be left at the bidding of the most powerful groups that would rise being corporations, tribes, or racist groups. Either that or they would just destroy themselves before anything could happen.
Debate: Room 122
Side: Yes

I agree with this statement. I believe one of the most important statements is that the environment would greatly suffer. Without any laws in place limiting big companies from ruining too much or taking too much the earths surface, resources could become very scarce. I also can agree with the fact that without a government keeping everyone calm, uprises between citizens would appear and become more common. Lastly, I can second that without the government we would be very vulnerable to terrorist attacks and dangerous outside forces.
