issue 50: Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestioningly carry out the will of the people they serve.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
In regard to constructing a democratic society, government officials are elected to represent and perform people’s will. When it comes to make decisions, they have to balance the proportion of their own judgement and people’s opinion. Some people argue that government officials have to unquestioningly follow the will of people they serve because they become who they are as the result of people’s support and they are just representatives. However, I maintain that government officals should consult people’s opinions and make reasonable judgement, taking many other factors into consideration. Therefore, a stable, democratic and progressive society can be expected.
To begin with, government officals need to consult pulic opinions about things closely related to their everyday life.
Eg.Infrastructure
Moreover, leaders in government should make judgements based on many other aspects like long-term benefits when it comes to direct the future of nation.
Eg. Roosevelt New Deal
In addtion, heads of government should never follow people’s opinions blindly because they are selected not to simply serve as a loud hailer but people who can stand higher to guide others.
Eg. Media manipulate people.
