Today, almost countries are democracy. Democracy means human dignity is respected at all times and nation people have a right to enjoy freedom. However, this can be limited to certain situations, such as for keeping sound social cultures, and for people’s health, and for national security.
First of all, people’s liberties can be restricted when they confuse a sound social culture. It means that sound culture can develop individuals and society, otherwise that can be regulated by government. For, example, illegal gambling and site have a bad effect on individuals, farther more countries are damaged. After all, disorderly society is created by someone’s negative freedom. Thus, in this case, it is necessary to regulate wrong liberties.
Secondly, it needs to infringe upon people’s freedom for keeping people’s health. That means people’s health can be deteriorated by others freedom which is just used to satisfy their desire. For instance, when smokers want to smoke in the street which is no smoking area, they can do it. However, non-smoker can do passive smoke regardless of their choice. Everyone knows it damages to health not only smoking, but also passive smoking. Therefore, regulation is made gradually like paying fee when people smoke in non-smoking area.
Finally, people’s liberties are sometimes limited to solidify national security. All around world, risks of terrorism and assassination are increased. Therefore, government must take action though limiting to people’s liberties. For example, all the people should be checked on their baggage or belongings when they go to abroad by using air-port. This is because one of them can be a terrorist or have illegal weapon. Although some people feel displeasure about that, it is necessary to keep national security.
In short, some people can confuse social culture and even cause serious damage to other people’s health. Furthermore, acting like terrorism or assassination can disrupt security of nations. Thus, I agree with infringing upon some people’s freedom. |
