Kennedy's Inaugural Address

The government plays a huge role in our lives daily, yet how much should it intervene? There are many times where the government’s interference is required to maintain control over people. I believe that the government should be in control, but it should cooperate with its citizens In order to function fairly.
In Kennedy’s Address, he mentions how the United States would work with other countries that are willing to cooperate with the government. Help would be provided if all nations stand together and the decisions made will be based on the benefit of all people. I believe that this should be true when our nation is facing with all kind of new law-making decisions.
The topic I have been researching along with a few of my classmates is universal healthcare. Our question is whether we should have universal healthcare or not. I believe that the government should intervene with medical matters, but it should not force people who oppose the universal plan to get it. Cooperation is the key for success and in order to have a successful democracy, the government should cooperate with its citizens. Force and the opinion of the majority should not always dominate people.
Kennedy mentioned how people that are governed by a communist government will be helped if they are willing to participate fully with the United States. Just like that situation, I believe that citizens in this country who are in need of medical help should be helped when they cooperate with the government. Others who do not want that kind of help should be left alone. There are many reasons to why they do not want that help, and they should be respected for their decision.
Our economy will benefit from this kind of cooperation much more because everyone will be left satisfied. When a nation is full of happy citizens, a democracy can be maintained. The most important thing to remember is that a person must able to choose what they prefer doing, instead of being forced into the acceptance if things they don’t like.
