They are being taken over by detail and spreading attention over many responsibilities instead of being able to focus on a few. Today, Thoreau’s writing on simplifying people’s lives and minds, and keeping a moral obligation to one’s self, is a key aspiration to being an individual. Thoreau presents these points in “Civil Disobedience” through an analysis of the government and its relationship to people under their control. He believes that the government and society infringe on the personal rights and thoughts of individuals by imposing taxes and laws that can violate an individual’s morality. He believes, “that government is best, which governs least.” (Civil
This is why it is very imperative that the citizens should learn about their government. Not knowing how the government works could really affect the lives of many citizens.

The purpose of government is to maintain order and prevent social chaos.
She elaborates on the issue of spraying chemicals and if it is increasing or decreasing the progress in the world. Carson’s article states that we are hurting ourselves more than we benefit ourselves from the spraying of harmful chemicals, and that we endanger our environment with these chemicals. In order to persuade the progressive intellectuals of this argument, Carson provides data to show the actual harm the pollution from the chemicals is causing, and provokes fear in her audience. In order to make her argument appear reasonable, Rachel Carson uses scientific observation to demonstrate how chemicals are the cause of killing pests. Carson provides rational examples to show the harm that pollution is causing to the earth and pests.

To define the concept of ill- health there are two main approaches, arising from different views of what the courses are, referred to as the medical and social models of health. Essentially the foundations of these models of health can be separated by, prevention and cure. The biomedical model focuses on cure for illness, whilst the social models of health underpin the origins of illness, allowing these models to successfully coexists, alongside each. The biomedical model presumes that illness is always due to abnormalities in the body's workings. It works on the theory that if a part of the body goes wrong it should be fixed or replaced, in the same way that a machine would be repaired.
Government’s aims are always to please the public, or do the best for the state and so these groups clearly show the government what a certain band of people wish to happen. They allow these people to meet up and band together to express common viewpoints; they provide a safe haven for people with a belief or grievance to vent their disenchantment. While it is beneficial to the democracy of the state to take note of these views they often are only a sectional interest of the population. By definition a pressure group only represents a sectional interest, the government is interested in national interest and so the two do not really come together. The government have to govern to the national interest rather than smaller sections of the community with a particularly large voice, in that sense these views can often be outnumbered by national beliefs yet a louder voice allows them to be implemented against the majority which can only be considered a disadvantage as it allows for sometimes unpopular and extreme beliefs to be taken into consideration when the ‘national interest’ would not wish them to be.
