Governments Over Citizens

The government should guide the citizens not control them. Citizens should be free and do what they please, but following some rules that the ruler has to make. Governments only need to lead the country so the country is a better place by giving better education or by giving better health. Governments should not have too much control over citizens because if a ruler has all the power and make bad decisions, it will affect more citizens. For example the President Rafael Correa’s power has taken his mind and he has controlled the imports from other countries and this is affecting citizens in a negative way. In conclusion I think that rulers should only give directions and the ones that need to decide are the citizens.

The Truman Show is similar to the control of the rulers over the citizens because the director of the show is controlling this fake town. Cristof the director is controlling everyone so the show is perfect and he wanted a perfect life for Truman. Rafel Correa is taking all the power and is not permitting the import of things to Ecuador. I also think The Truman Show relates to my paragraph because in The Truman Show the director controlled the elements of the city like the fog at night, when the sun comes up, how the waves move, etc. This relates to my paragraph because the ruler controls the citizens constantly. In conclusion in The Truman Show the director makes a bad decision trying to control everything about Truman so he rebels against the director.

My opinion is that the Truman Show is a good example of a ruler controlling their citizens. My finial thought is that directors or rulers should not have so much power over the citizens because being a ruler does not mean you are the center of everything. This means that the ruler should help the citizen’s control the countries so people can communicate and cooperate. Also I think that citizens have the right to protest when they are mistreated. In conclusion I think that citizens should be treated fairly.

  2. After reading your post about governments, I agree with you and feel the same as you, governments should not have all the power they want, but should also give citizens rules to follow to keep an organized society. I also agree on how you state that some of the government´s decisions should be based on the people´s choice and opinions, since when governments apply rules that everyone likes, society has a better shot at being organized and pacific. However, I would also like to know your opinion about what would the Truman show be with out a strict government like Christoff. What do you think: what would change in the Truman Show if Christoff wasn't as strict as in the movie? But overall, I liked your post a lot and I agree with your opinion.

  3. Thank you for your comment. To respond your question I think that if Cristoff wasn't as strict as he was the show will turn out different because other people would give other ideas. The Truman Show with out Cristoff will be like a reality show of the this days because they don't have a direction; the show will just flow. Imagine Truman married to Sylvia/Lauren traveling the world and having adventures.
