Can someone help me with my essay pleas

Like any tool it has two sides. The good is that public projects, of general benefit, which are good( like a road or utility line) or necessary ( like a water main or sewer line) cannot be stopped or altered by one individual or small minority. While the compensation is seldom at full market rate, at least there is that possession is recognized and compensated to a degree.

The bad side is when it is used to discriminate along racial or other lines. A case I remember is one in a western city where the alignment of a major freeway was put directly through the middle of a Hispanic community, in part to make access from housing to shopping more difficult and to allow developers to acquire property at a relatively low price since otherwise the residents would receive an even lower price from the city. Thousands of extra dollars was spent in a bridge realignment to accomplish this. The result is that where small shops once stood along a street, the land has been redeveloped into a WalMart, Lowe’s big box shopping plaza and the other side of the freeway has been gentrified, causing higher tax rates which the long time residents couldn’t pay and had to move.

Where is your essay?

Explanation:

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
