Do you think governments should aim high or aim low

Do you think governments should "aim high" or "aim low"? Why, and how to achieve the government you think is best?

Whether we should create governments that "aim high" (i.e. try to achieve some goal or serve some end above and beyond just staying alive), or whether we should "aim low" (i.e. focus on just keeping the peace with no higher objective). So, the prompt is this: Do you think governments should "aim high" or "aim low"? Why do you think so, and how do we achieve the kind of government you think is best?

Make sure to use ideas of Philosophers such as Kautilya, Hobbes, Nietzsche, Foucault, John Rolls.--- USE quotes in essay

Remember, the paper is 4-5 pages single-spaced. Be sure to have an argument that's your own. Don't just summarize the authors we read. You can use our class readings or any other outside sources if it's important for your argument. You don't have to cite a certain number of things or include anything other than what you need to make your argument persuasive. Focus on saying what you think, why you think it, and try to convince me you're right.

• Aim high example- Saudi Arabia- keep important religious values
• Aim low example- US- just trying to keep a steady democracy, no overachieving goals
