Life With No Government

Life without a government would be much different from how we live our lives now. Without a governing body we would not have taxes. This may sound good but things like robbery, murder, larceny would not be illegal. Children would not have to go to school and there would most likely be no such thing as school. This would be due to the fact that our government funds the schools we attend. There would also be no such thing as minimum wage. This would mean that companies could take advantage of their workers and charge them little to no pay at all. This would also imply that there could also be slaves. This would pretty much suggest that anyone could do anything without having any consequences for their actions. 

There are many reasons that humans made governing bodies. Many of those reasons were already mentioned. One being murder. It would seem unlikely that man would live on the earth for such a long time and let something like murder slide. Another thing would be public education. As soon as man appeared on earth he had the desire to learn, so it only seems likely that man would make a system in which everyone would pay for education. How does everyone go about paying for school? Taxes. The governing body that man would eventually make would implement taxes to help pay for things like school and various insurances. Another reason humans organized a system of government was to keep order and be told how to live life. If humans didn't have to go to school or work everyday, how would we live? What would we do? People wanted a set of guidelines that they had to follow to help them live their lives without chaos. It is safe to say that without a government life would be much different from what we're used to.

  1. You made some really good points about what life would be like without a government and you're absolutely right. I enjoyed reading your bit about education. Humans have always had a desire to learn and without a government how would we even know how to read and write? Great first post!

  2. I liked your viewpoints on how education has effected America since day because of our government systems. I agree with your idea that jobs would be taken advantage of and that no laws would be enforced to have people be equal.
