I’m working on a Philosophy exercise and need support.

answer the first two and respond to the classmates answer to the third question

1.What would you say is the purpose of a government? Has the government done anything during the last five years that you think goes beyond its purpose?

2. Do you think the United States should use the principle of strict egalitarianism as an ideal to aim for? Should it use the principle of moderate egalitarianism this way? Explain.

respond to the classmates answer to the third question. Do you agree or disagree and reason

3.Rawls says a society is just only if its inequalities somehow produce benefits for the least advantaged. What do you think he means by “inequalities”? Do you think your society meets this requirement? Why?

– I would say Rawl means the inequalities of wealth. If you’re one of the people who are poor or just have less than most. I believe to an extent society meets this requirement. The United States alone has way too many homeless people. Some are homeless because of their own choices where other’s had no other choice. Maybe their parents didn’t have the same chances so they have to eat when they can. Other’s milk the system that does help those who may need food stamps or cash assistance. Some stay on these programs for years because the government has made it easy for them. They don’t want better when they are given just enough. They don’t think about those who really need the help and can’t get it.
