Subject is Government and do not understand it

Think about what your life would be like if from an early age, you were free to do whatever you wanted, and you didn’t have any parental oversight. What are the roles of parents? How are the roles of parents similar to the role of governments? Identify at least three similarities and be sure to explain the similarity. Write one full paragraph to explain this (minimum of 5 sentences)

The role of a parent/guardian is to guide, teach, protect, and support the child. This is similar to the role of governments in many ways. First, they both are there to protect people. Parents protect the children from injury and pain, and governments protect citizens from outside harms such as war, but mainly a government protects the rights of its citizens. Second, parents teach their children how to talk, walk, play, and love. A government can teach its citizens by way of example, (public) schools, and also sets the standards for graduation. Third, parents support their children by offering help, encouraging them, and ensuring that the child has the means to thrive on their own as an adult. The government provides support for its citizens by offering shelter, or benefits/assistance (food stamps, healthcare, unemployment benefits, etc).
