government social obligation?
553852
The "government" is nothing more that you and me and all of our neighbours.  The "government" has no obligation to achieve any specific social outcomes. Voters may elect representatives whose objective it is to pursue social engineering, but that does mean that it is the government's obligation.\n\nPersonally, I think the government's primary obligation is the safety and security of the citizens and to create a climate and atmosphere in which liberty prevails so that each person can work towards achieving their own vision of the good life.

You mean, the relationship between a state (government) and the society governed?\n\nPlease post your question again, but with purpose and clarity.

I don't think I can easily sum up the argument except to point out that Plato believed each individual owed a duty not just to himself but to the State (the community he lives in), and therefore a just life is more appropriate to this duty.\n\nBut again, the reasoning here is complicated and deserves some thought.

Actucally, you can avoid that. Stop working and become one of those on government support. For some reason that I can not comprehend the government thinks they have to support everyone who does not want to support themselves.

Personally, I think the government has no such right.  If you want to be a moron and put your life in peril, that should be your business.  HOWEVER, there should be caveats attached to that.  For instance, I believe that if you don't wear a seat belt and you have no medical insurance, that the governemnt should let you die.  You took your life into your hands.  The governmnet shouldn't fix your mistake if you were so abysmally stupid.\n\nThat having been said, the reason the governement places these restrictions is not because of some sort of genuine concern for your well being.  As with many things, it boils down to money.  A severely crippled person is often a drain on public resources.  If you remain healthy, the odds are greater that you will be a productive member of society and, more importantly, generate tax revenue.  If you get into a car accident without a seat belt, not only will you probably stop paying taxes, you will also probably start sucking up public resources.

a society is a group of whatevers existing as a unit.  All units have basic agendas/goals such as survival, if the individual can help the society achieve these goals than he/she is useful.  If he/she works agaisnt these goals then they are a liability.

No one is obligated to do anything. However if you are a good person you will want to love your neighbor, help those who need help, be attentive to those in nursing homes, hospitals,. Collect can goods, bread, crackers, chips, milk for the poor. Pray for the less forturnate daily and ask God to help direct you to do more. He will help you do just that.

The government is business of encouraging certain behavior for the good of society.\nThe government decided that monogamous heterosexual relationship benefit society more then other relationship.\nThus the government provides incentive for it -- called marriage.\nIf two people love each other who do not fit the bill they can still live together, have sex, etc etc.\nHowever why should the government encourage these relationship if they are less beneficial the others? It should not!\nThus the government has absolute power as to who can enter into a marriage.

fiscal by light years... social issues are the ones no one can agree on and hardly ever change... and it's America... land of the free... do what you want, as long as it doesn't get in the way of someone else...

No.  What the govt needs to do is make sure that the people on food stamps and welfare are actually citizens.  There are a lot of illegals in the "welfare"system and it truly irritates me.  I need help and I can't get it but people who aren't citizens walk in and get whatever they want.  The food stamps and welfare are for citizens who need short-term help for whatever reason.

I'm not sure what your question means.  Do you mean a citizen's responsibility?

People of society can help those who are in situations where the person has ended up with more children than they can afford (for whatever reason).  Churches and private organizations have been doing this for years in an effort to help the children grow to become responsible members of society. \n\nIt is unfair that one can turn to the government and the government forces its citizens to help support people who have ended up in these situations. It's a matter of choices of how to help and where you can do the most good. Government seems to want your money without consideration of time or talent. Where as private organizations ask for money but are more than willing to also accept your time and talents to help out.\n\nWe short change ourselves in this area all the time. I really wish people would see the benefits of real charity and not in thinking that throwing money at it through taxes is going to be good enough. It just isn't good enough.

If you were an illegal immigrant (criminal), a terrorist, or an incarcerated criminal, the government would most likely pay for it.  Unfortunately the government has no use for non-leaches on society.  If i win the lotto any time soon I will pay for it.

I believe it is a way to provide for "services" for the common good.  Services here include, but are not limited to: transportation, police, infrastructure, as well as a variety of other human services that make life pleasant.

Because the government is not responsible for individual success or failure. As Americans, we have the right to prosper or fail, but it is up to us what happens. \n\nI know I do not work to benefit someone who does not want to. It is not my problem or responsibility if you make $10/hour or $200/hour. The government is there to PROMOTE the general welfare, not PROVIDE the general welfare. Nor am I here to promote someone else's welfare by force.\n\nThose of us who like to help others have the choice to help through personal charitable contributions (which I do give). But that is my voluntary choice, it should not be forced.
