Student Reflection on Guest Lecture by Mr. Prabin

The guest lecture by Mr. Prabin was very energetic. He asked us a lot of questions to make the class lively. He also asked us to be inquisitive and he answered our questions.

Today’s talk was about the functions of government. We never knew about functions of a coercive government where the government forces its citizens to do something for the country’s well-being.

A development form of government on the other hand is a form of government whose intention is to develop the country in a way that the citizens are not forced to do anything. Sometimes we do not know how the government is helping us.

The government, however, is helping us in every way like it provides us with pure drinking water; electricity so that we don’t need to use candles, which are a poor source of light; and more. Another notable function of the government is to provide free education as it is a must for children aged from ages 6 to 14 to get proper education. Our government also provides us with food since everyone has to eat food in order to survive.

This was a very informative guest lecture by Mr. Prabin.
