Government control in today’s society is prominent, influential, and persistent. The government is one of the most prominent authorities in this world. They rule as the face of power, and it is rare for the general masses to stand up for their rights. The concept of standing up for one’s rights in the face of unjust leadership has been discussed in the book, On Human Farm by Peter M. Brennan.

This book helps the reader wake up to things they might have been numb to until now. Things such as extensive governmental control and mismanagement of resources that are consistently provided by the masses to the government in the form of taxes. It is based around a couple who wishes to retire in their hometown but are met with the same inconsistent deliverance by the government. They then start a movement in their hometown to raise their voices for their rights. On Human Farm is out now on Amazon and up for grabs. Get your copies now!

Religion

Religion, for many countries, has been a driving force for their policies. No Muslim country which practices Islam would allow the exchange of alcohol, nor would it allow pork meat to be used in the country. Religion plays an important role in the moral guidelines that the country has to follow. There have been mass protests against governments that fail to fulfill their religious duties in the country.

However, these powers are also only applied to countries where religion is given enough importance to change and influence policies. This can depend on the region as well as the faith that the country massively follows.

International Organizations

International organizations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Health Organization can have a significant impact on government control in areas such as trade, finance, and public health. These international organizations are able to dictate what can be allowed in the country and deduce well their economy is doing. This can enable countries to take subsidies and loans. If the economy is crashing and these organizations deem the country unstable, they might be able to take loans or have higher economic activity. Such sanctions can make it difficult for people to work more openly and earn economic benefits.

Military

In some countries, the military may have significant influence over government control and decision-making. This can be either positive or negative, depending on the nature of the military’s involvement and its relationship with the government.

Civil Society

Civil society groups, such as NGOs and advocacy organizations, can also play an important role in influencing government control. These groups may advocate for specific policies or work to hold governments accountable for their actions.

Overall, the relationship between higher powers and government control is complex and multifaceted. It is important for governments to be responsive to the needs and values of all members of society, including those who hold different religious beliefs, are part of different cultural and social groups, or have different political views. Additionally, it is important for governments to be transparent and accountable in their decision-making processes, and to engage in dialogue with civil society groups to ensure that their policies reflect the needs and priorities of the people they serve.
