Q. The government should sometimes infringe on people's freedom for the security of society.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
A.
Some people think that an individual's right to freedom has priority over the security of society. However, I firmly believe that people's freedom should be violated by the government when the purpose is to prevent potential dangers and ensure that safety regulations are observed.
To begin with, the infringement of people's freedom can be justified when protecting people from danger is the main purpose. Given the recent increase in violence throughout the world, measures must be taken to prevent potential attacks, such as those committed by terrorists. For example, airports around the world conduct security checks on people and their belongings to prohibit bombings or the transport of dangerous materials. Even though this is the violation of personal space, it is necessary to prevent everyone from harm. Thus, the government should have the right to trespass on one's privacy.
In addition, the government can infringe on people's freedom to make sure that the safety regulations are followed. Certain jobs can endanger people's lives when employees do not act safely and responsibly. Therefore, it is important to ensure that these employees follow safety rules even if their right are violated to a certain degree. Take the example of school bus drivers and pilots. If they are not functioning at full capacity, they will not be able to perform their takes safely. In this regard, it is acceptable to make them undergo random medical tests to ensure that they are healthy and capable. This is necessary to guarantee that these people are not putting other's lives in dangers.
In conclusion, the infringement of people's freedom is inevitable if the main priority of the government is to protect society from harm and make sure that individuals follow the necessary rules. For these reasons, violating an individual's freedom is sometimes necessary.
