The famous book that talks about government and their control is 1984 and is written by George Orwell. This book talks about the affects of government and how the government has too much control. In the book the government is compared to a big brother who is constantly watching every move you make and watching what you do. The big brother always watching over your shoulder. This comparison of "big brother" is like the government watching every move we make and telling us exactly what to do and when to do it. Should the government be that involved with that much of our lives? What kind of control should they have?
I have grown up all my life in a very conservative republican home. My father didn't ever shove his opinion on my but I have always looked up to him and over time I have come to see and keep the same view points that he has today. The fact that government is so involved in what we do bothers my father quite a bit. You could almost say that 1984 is one of his favorite books. He completely believes that big government is a bad idea. Granted I also believe that too much big government is a bad idea. Government should not be required to create jobs or regulate companies. Government is here to make sure that everyone is following the laws that are in place to keep our country they way our founding fathers intended it to be. Government is here for a reason and we need to utilize it but we also need to realize that the government is not here to fix all of our problems. We should look back to the leaders that helped our country prosper like President Regan and strive to mirror our country after the policies that her believed in. As an American I believe that government has a role and being in the most control is not the reason we have government.
