It is controversial whether freedom is accepted without reserve or not. Some people say that freedom should not be confined because it is basic right of human. However, I strongly believe that only properly limited freedom can bring real freedom in term of keeping safety of society and protecting right of people.
Firstly, it is essential to restrain freedom appropriately for safety of society. By banning dangerous actions like a narcotic, stealing, having guns that someone wants to do, we can maintain the safety in our society. For example, according to CNN, Cable News Network in the U.S.A., gun accidents in U.S.A. where permits having guns are happening nearly 10000 annually. On the other hand, as seen from the Minister of Korean police, gun accidents rarely had happened in Korea last 10 years because Korea is prohibiting having guns. Thus, suitable limitation is good for maintaining our safety.
Secondly, we should limit freedom for keeping right of people. Freedom is very crucial for human. By having freedom people can do and enjoy all kind of things. However, these things harm other people, it is no longer freedom. It is a crime. For example, when I was a university student, I shared house with my friend, Jessica, she turned on music loudly every night until about 3 A.M. I required turning down the volume but she did not agree that, claiming her freedom. As a result, I moved to other house. Thus properly restrained freedom is important. To sum up, In order to maintaining safety and right of people, freedom is relevantly limited. |
