After talking about this topic in class on friday, I started to think about how many countries and nations that are currently lawless and chaotic have something in common. Many of these countries were ruled by a tyrant, dictator, or oppressive government before the country turned to war and chaos. In my opinion, this happens because the people do not kn0w any other way of life. When living under a power that tells you what to do, what to think, and how to live, there's not much choice in life at all. So, when the day comes when that high power or ruler is toppled, and there's no solid leadership directing the people of the country, the people will naturally descend into chaos because they've never had such freedom before. Now that they won't be threatened with consequence or death, the people are free to do whatever they want, and are probably overwhelmed with this freedom of choice that they've never really experienced before. Unfortunately, this would easily cause people to become carried away, and dangerous. It's very interesting, to me, to think about what would happen if all of a sudden, the U.S. had no government present. Would we fall into the same situation?
