Those who disagree might say that infringing people’s freedom is unacceptable. However, I personally agree with the above idea for two subsequent reasons. First of all, limitation on free will is crucial to prevent crime in society. Second of all, modern society is covered with competitions.
To begin with, we should control criminals with rigid regulations and punishment. This is because they already hindered other’s human right territory. Therefore, for preventing crime and effective punishment, criminal have to get confinement or rehabilitation.
For example, a study was conducted by the University of Calgary in 2009 to determine whether electronic bracelet could affect the rehabilitation of sexual criminal. The researchers tracked the second offense rate of 200 offenders over a 5 year period. What they found was intriguing. The people who wore the bracelet were more tend to live normally without any crime than those who did not. This was because they could realize that they had made horrible decision in the past whenever saw their devices around their arm. This study demonstrated that confining criminal’s freedom is able to bring positive effect to the society.
On top of that, taking other people’s opportunity is sometimes inevitable when people try to obtain what they want. Modern society is very competitive so people struggle to prove the abilities themselves. In one’s life, there are endless amount of competitions which usually have only one throne each.
I will illustrate my own experience as an example. When I was high school student, I got a chance to attend a national art contest with three classmates. It gave me a lot of thrill because if I won this contest, I could get 3 million dollars as a prize and also gain an opportunity for exchange student. I did as possible as I could to win the contest and so did my classmates. Eventually, I attained the throne and got all the prizes. That moment became one of my favorite moments in life. Until now whenever I think about other friends who missed their chances, I feel sorry for them. This is because in somehow, I took their freedom which is their right to get what they want. However, it was a competition therefore what I have done is absolutely fair and acceptable.
To sum up, infringing someone’s freedom is sometimes necessary when it comes to controlling offenders. Also, there are various competitions that taking other’s opportunity could be justified in nowadays. In this regard I firmly believe that freedom of people could be restrained in some way. |
