Naturalism
Absolutism in our American society is definetely viewed as evil. Although we have been conditioned to think in this manner, absolutism can have many advantages compared to a democracy. Our society is conditioned to think of naturalism as evil for a few reasons, war is one of them. Throughout the history of time the US has been at war with absolutist countries. Many of these countries are in a time of great despair before absolutist power takes over. This is because of the weak economy and the need for a quick government to be established without alot of complications. What can be less complicated than absolutism? One man descides everything and what he says goes. This is one of the advantages of absolutism. In our society today descisions, laws and rulings often take an extremely long time because of our democratized government. Everybody has to have their hand in on the descision, everyone must approve everything, everyone must make changes, and nobody can ever agree on anything. For these reasons our government is comlicated and judgements and descisions can take a very long time. In an absolutistic government the descisions are made immediately and without questioning or adjustment. This is clearly and extremely efficient means of government. On the other hand it is hard to find an absolutist leader that hasnt been driven crazy with power. Everything always seems to begin well, but as time goes on they begin to take advantage of their power and make drastic descisions that may not be in the best interest of anyone but themselves. For this reason, I dont believe that absolutism is the right form of government for any society. Although it may seem tempting, in time everything goes wrong in an absolutist government. Just looking at history i cant think that it would work out.
