Some
people might say that freedom is really important one to live as human.
However, in my opinion, it is sometimes acceptable to infringe upon people’s
freedom. This is because of two reasons. First of all, this is necessary to
protect others’ liberty. Secondly, it will harm the whole society to insure all
of the freedom.
To
begin with, protecting one’s liberty can result in invade other’s liberty.
Sometimes, it is possible that asserting my own freedom means destroying my neighbors’
rights. To maximize the consensus of all people’s happiness, we have to limit
personal freedom to some extant. I will introduce my personal experience as an
example. Last semester, I took a history course in my school. In that class,
the professor allowed us to eat snacks or meal during the lecture because of
one student’s request. He thought that it was the way to improve students’
freedom in university. However, it was actually inconvenient for most of
students. When someone ate food in classroom, I was disturbed by the smell and
noise from those snacks. I could not concentrate on the lecture. Lots of the
students’ right to take their class silently was severely harmed by protecting one
student’s freedom. It was really unfair and I realize why the discipline is
necessary even in the small group like that class.
On
top of that, limiting one’s liberty is so important to protect the order of the
society. There are many kinds of freedom that cannot be accepted in the society
such as criminals. To live together peacefully in the world, we should not
respect those freedom entirely. For instance, a few years ago, in Korea, one
man ruined the important national remains by his painting art. There was a poll
conducted by Korean Magazine with 200 university students as respondents to
understand the consensus view of the happening. Most of the respondents said it
was not appropriate work and it was not able to be admitted as art. The
overwhelming 85% responded that the court should not see this work as the
freedom of expression. This was because they thought the preservation of the
remains is more crucial than insuring his freedom. Also, they thought this
freedom should be banned and punished by the law. This survey proved that
people showed the negative view of protecting his weird liberty.
To
sum up, if you allow all people’s liberty, you can destroy other people’s
happiness and the ruin the whole society. In this regard, I strongly believe
that infringing upon one’s freedom is really necessary. |
