Is government necessary, or is it not? Yes, in my opinion, government is necessary, because we all know what happened during the “balloon experiment”: chaos, cheating, and yelling. If this experiment had some rules and structure the probability of this happening again would be slim. An even better example of chaos without rules is the living conditions in Iraq. All you hear about is how people are dying and suffering there. What is the cause? A weak government. Perhaps Locke’s principles would have worked in the past to let Iraq have peace, however now it’s really out of the question. Also Thomas Hobbes philosophy would of got us nowhere to, however if you put them together, there could be hope.
