A government is the body within an organization that has the authority to make and enforce rules, laws and regulations, control and direct the actions or behavior of the individuals within the organization and deal with everyday administrative issues. Typically, the government refers to a civil government or sovereign state which can be either local, national, or international. These types of governments self-legitimize their authority using a monopoly on violence. However, commercial, academic, religious, or other formal organizations are also governed by internal bodies which gain their authority voluntarily. Such bodies may be called boards of directors, managers, or governors or they may be known as the administration (as in schools) or councils of elders (as in churches). Growth of an organization increases the complexity of its government, therefore small towns or small-to-medium privately-operated enterprises will have few officials compared to larger organizations such as multinational corporations which will have multiple interlocking, hierarchical layers of administration and governance. As complexity increases and the nature of governance becomes more complicated,so does the need for formal policies and procedures. Public sector governance is studied as Public Administration while that in the private sector is studied as Business Administration. The concept of government has been around since humanity itself where hunter-gatherers would commonly establish tribes high authority and have unique ideals. However, government is not limited to the human species itself as many animals establish groups such as ants, lions, and bees. From Wikipedia under the

Queensland has the highest rate of illiteracy in the entire developed world. What is the government doing about this? There are so many people who can't read and write in Queensland, it's downright scary. Sorry, mates. I forgot to add a detail to my question, so I deleted it and am posting it again. Asked by Formica Blues - Mon Jun 22 21:31:27 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. As I said previously, from reading your answers on Y!A, you seem to have a real problem with Queensland and Queenslanders. Also as I said before none of us can read or write and we like it that way. The government and the opposition is doing nothing to combat the situation because none of them can read either. We all prefer to go barefoot too. Or that's the line you're attempting to push, of course the vast majority of us do read and write and we do wear shoes. Just in case anyone was wondering. (I can't believe how many people have taken you seriously, both on your deleted question and now with this new improved version.)

It means because of Bush's deregulation of banks and other businesses over the last 8 years caused this financial meltdown. This recession or depression or whatever you call it was caused by lack government oversight and these banks ran wild! This proves that these banks need oversight or babysitting to keep this from happening again. You know what they say...when the cat is away, the mice will play.
