MY IDEAL COUNTRY. Clara T. (2 BTX B)

MY IDEAL COUNTRY


We all know that society is very complex as well as creating a government which is able to manage it and all its problems. Everyone has a different opinion of how a nation should be organized or who should rule it, but here's my point of view according to what I have learnt from my own country and many others that have a great influence in today's world:

First of all, I thik that the ideal form of government would be a representative republic. The reason why I think this is the best way to rule a country it's because the people choose whoever they think that is responsible enough to make the right decisions for them and since it's the people who choose them they can also take their power away and give it to someone else if they see they made a mistake with the president. Also I chose a republic because I don't think that a monarchy is necessary for a country. Maybe a country that has had a monarchy for centuries might want to keep it, but since this is just an ideal society I'm writing this thinking of a nation that has just been created. In this country there should be elections every 5 years, but all the members of the government would be able to express their opinion on the current president at any time.

Secondly, the government should make a huge investment in education, healthcare and welfare state. The reason why I think that these are the most important ones is that they are basic to create a nation where people has opportunities to develop their life without the risk of getting a disease and not being able to cure it and in the case of someone not being able to work to not become poor. Of course taxes wouldn't be as low as the citizens would like to but it would all be worth it since it would all be for their well being. I think i should highlight the fact that education should be one of the biggest investments. I understand that everyone wants to take part in politics and the decision-making process of the country, but I also think that it's unfair the fact that someone with no studies' vote counts as much as someone who has a PhD in political sciences' vote. So to make it fair for all citizens, I think there should be more programs for people to learn about the situation of their country, the parties they can choose, but most importantly, give them information about politics in general for them to have an idea of which party is the best for them as well as creating an exam that all candidates to the presidency have to take to show they have the right knowledge in order to become president. These programs could easly be influenced by parties, that's why I think it should be alien to the government and give an objective point of view.

Another important affair I think I should talk about is the economy. It's very complex to talk about the economic plan of a nation since it is also affected by the other countries, but in my opinion, the easiest way of making a country economically successful is by a planned capitalist system. A market capitalism was an option that I also had in mind but if there is no one ruling the market but the market itself it is harder for small bussineses to start growing. In a planned capitalism the government can break monopolies and help small bussineses that are just starting grow faster. A communist system, since it's often flooded with corruption, would make almost all citizens poor with a few elites that control all the money. In the case that corruption wasn't a problem in a communist country, I would still think it wouldn't be the best idea for my ideal nation since there would be no chance for people to develop their bussineses, and market incentives is what I'm looking for in order to make the country financially develop.

Finally I would like to talk about the rights of the people. Everyone should be free to express their opinion as long as they do it in a respectful way. Everyone has the right to choose the religion or ideologies they want to follow and the government should never take this right away from the people. In order to create a society where everyone is as happy as they can be they have to be able to believe in whatever they want and without being discriminated by other people with different beliefs.

So to conclude, a country where people are free to believe in what they want, have the right to vote for a president who is academically qualified to rule a country, where education plays a bigger role in society and the government prevents monopolies from big companies to form is my ideal country.
