Just government

            
             In Athens to New York we studied many different governments and many different cultures. With the great variety of cultures, religion, and governments it was a surprise to see that many people wanted the same goals in their life style. Many of these cultures wanted a fair government that would protect them as well as allow them to run their lives the way that they want to.
             The book Antigone was based on a society that was dedicated to thinking that their ruler knew what was best for them. This system of government was what brought about the death of the ruler's niece Antigone. As an individual under that government she was forced to behave in a way against her beliefs and her morals. No government has the right to deny one of their citizens the right to have their own beliefs. Once a government denies a person the right to believe in what they want to believe in then it is a sign that the government is no longer fair and just. Once Antigone was denied the right to mourn for her own brother then that was other people in the community should have stood up with her and revolted against the king. If a government can not listen to what the majority wants then that government has no right to be in power.
             After reviewing all the information handed down to us over the many generations I have come to realize that finding a just and fair government is almost impossible. Our race has been experimenting with different types of governments since the beginning of civilization. Even in the early ages when humans lived in caves we were experimenting with a type of leadership system. Though it was very rugged and not very fair cave people did have small governments. These early governments were based on evolution, survival of the fittest. The strong were in charge and the weak were left in the lower ranks with the women as the lowest group in this system. Though this was not very fair we evolved to realize that there are better ways to govern.
