It is a common belief that the government should not limit citizen's freedom for the security of society. However, I firmly believe that the government needs to regulate people's freedom from time to time because it can keep citizens from harmful diseases and also make the economy stable.
To begin with, the government can make people healthier by limiting some behaviors that are likely to cause contagious diseases to spread. For instance, the coronavirus from Wuhan in China spread out so quickly since Chinese government did not force Wuhan's citizens not to go to other places. If Chinese government restricted them to go to other places in China in advance, the number of people confirmed would have been considerably less than it is now. According to a recent study, prevention from contagious diseases mostly depends on how the government control confirmed and potential patients completely. This study offers strong proof that the government should sometimes infringe on people's freedom.
On top of that, the government needs to limit citizen's freedom to make the economy stable. There are many factors that the government manage for people's living cost. For example, one of the big issues is that the housing price is too expensive in Seoul so South Korean government has made lots of policies to stop the price from rising. Some policies may infringe people's freedom because they should pay the property taxes in the higher rate if they have houses more than two. Nevertheless, Korean government implemented the policies for the public benefits and then the housing price in Seoul became relatively more stable than it used to. This demonstrates how important the government control people's economic activities.
To sum up, the government plays great roles in citizen's health and economic stability. For these reasons, it is clear that the government should restrict people's freedom from time to time for the security of society.
