Discarding the Word “Feminism”

argue that a larger government, with a better ability to oversee and provide for its different peoples, might have been better able to prevent the outbreak from occurring in the first place. While a large government, like the American government, may be slower to act in times of international crisis, they have also been able to provide a level of peace and stability on a domestic level, that is not available in most other countries. All of this being said, I do believe there is a way in which a government can be both inconsistent and slow to act, but this comes down to distinguishing between the different duties and responsibilities governments have on a domestic and international level. A government that pulls out of international agreements that are supposed to last for years can be inconsistent. At the same time this government could take a few months to pass a healthcare bill that is desperately needed on the domestic level. On the international scale, a democracy has the ability to be inconsistent, and on a domestic level it is much more likely to be slow to act.
