government

There is no doubt that governments and large institutions implement many innovations into our society.However, from my point of view, they are only able to do so with the help of ideas from individual citizens.
Firstly,every part of society, including government and large institutions,consists of individual members.Governments have the rights to the further use of the new ideas and in fact should always listen to them. For example, a Ukrainian engineer called Platoon introduced the idea of building a bridge across the river in Kiev. Seeing the strategic importance of this bridge the government provided funds to build it. And now the whole of society benefits from the use of one man's idea.Furthermore in London, the Mayor, Mr Livingstone, announced a competition which can be entered by individuals to find a new way to provide air conditioning for the underground system. This is yet another example of how governments and large institutions rely on the creativity of individuals to be inventive and bring about change.
Some people might say that governments have the strength,power and money to realise and introduce new ideas on their own. In case of institutions they possess up to date equipment and massive facilities. However I would say that they are not enough to allow them to contribute to society as a whole. This is where creativity and outstanding ideas come in. So,if an individual's efforts are combined with the government's power and money, there would be many changes that could benefit everyone.
In conclusion, both individuals and large institutions, including governments need to work in partnership to bring about any beneficial changes.
