Authority's Restriction on Our Freedom

In our society, we are limited to follow the authority. Although we are capable of rebelling against it, there are consequences to our actions. Some could say that this denies us of our freedom of choice, that we as human beings are allowed to do however they so please. This is just nonsense, people that say things like this are usually plaintive in all aspects of life and are generally unhappy. They believe that their personal freedom is higher ranked than the freedom of society. Freedom is a controversial term, for people can do many things in the name of freedom. What some people don’t realize that restricting freedom is not always bad, Freedom isn’t always good. Our government restricts us on what we say, what we write, what we wear and what we show. These are all limitations of our freedom. But we need to ask ourselves, why does the government restrict us? Is it because they are an evil corporation that want to exploit us as their minions, or do they do so because it is necessary for maintaining peace and to increase citizen satisfaction. The restrictions are for our own good, that’s why government systems are present around the world, because without them, chaos would rule, which would diminish every ounce of freedom that we possess. We should be grateful that our government does such a great job at giving us so much freedom and still manages to fairly maintain order.
