Drills
Drill 1 Which of the answers below is less
appropriate as a response to the following statement? How can you improve it? Statement:
The government is always right.
Answer
A: I definitely agree with the statement that the government is always right.
If you do not believe in your government, it cannot do anything. I feel sorry
when people criticize the President when he decides to go to war. It must have
been hard for him to make the decision, and people should support him. Without
trust in leaders, nothing is achieved, and questioning what they do will shake the
very existence of the government and can start its collapse. If you cannot
trust your government, you should stop being the citizen and leave the country.
We must always trust our government.
Answer B: The government is not always right. Even a democratic government makes
mistakes. It is made up of the representatives of the people and the majority
rule there, but people make mistakes, and there is no guarantee that two heads
are always better than one. Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo were all democratically
elected. Until recently, the US government did not take the necessary lead in
the fight against the climate change. Neither in Chernobyl nor in Fukushima, the
government provided correct information for its citizens. As there are
significant counterexamples, it cannot be said that the government is always
right.
