Question:
What do you understand by the word 'government'? List five ways in which you think the government affects your daily life.

Answer:

Government is an organization which takes decisions and make laws for the welfare of the people. It takes action on many social issues, for example: it has several programs to help the poor and make the things done. The government also has a job of protecting the boundaries of the country and maintaining peaceful relation with other countries. Courts are also part of the government. The government works at three levels; which is local, state and central. The local level government works in villages, towns or localities. The state government works at the state level. The central or National government works for the entire country.
Hence, the five ways in which government affects our daily life are:
1. It helps in running postal and railway services; and helps in reduction and fixing prices of essential commodities.
2. In case of natural calamities, it helps the affected people and the government mainly organizes aid and assistance for the affected ones.
3. In case of any dispute or someone has committed a crime, you will find that person in a court.
4. It helps in building roads and schools. It supplies electricity and water in our house, schools, hospitals, offices and in other working places too.
5. It ensures that all citizens have enough to eat and it provides good health services.

Most workers leave their tools at these shops for the night for safekeeping, and pass on any extra money to them. The shopkeepers keep the money safely and also offer loans to labourers in need.
