Essay Sample: Freedom and the Limits

Freedom should be limited. Because If there is too much freedom or total freedom It will lead to chaos, but if there is There's little freedom Then it will lead to oppression. It is all about balance. If Balance is not maintained. Then it will lead to either chaos or oppression. Freedom must be in the middle.

If the limits of freedom were unlimited, what do you think our world would be? It would be a world full of chaos, and unjust, and we would not stop until everything was destroyed. That is why anarchy does not work as humans cannot work that way. If we worked that way, then at this point we would all be well. We would not exist. without rules, and relegations or Systems that put us in our place, I would tell Me, and you would have never been born. As this quote says “The laws of every organised society form a complicated pattern of balanced freedoms and restrictions. Some people think of laws as the natural enemies of freedom. In fact, people called anarchists believe that all systems of government and laws destroy liberty (see Anarchism). Actually, the law both limits and protects the freedom of an individual” (Murphy 1). Now you wonder why the law in this quote was made. The well was made for a good reason. “The major reason for restricting freedom is to prevent harm to others. To achieve the goal of equal freedom for everyone, a government may have to restrict the liberty of certain individuals or groups to act in certain ways. In the United States, for example, restaurant owners no longer have the freedom to refuse to serve people because of race” (Murphy 1). From the second quote, you could see that it is to protect others. That is the whole reason. It is said if these laws never happened, nor did they not exist, then all of us would be in danger. You can see it like in the movie The Purge. The government gave everybody the ability to do whatever they wanted and guess what they did. Well, from the movie you can tell that they did. They did terrible things. Murder, steal, and destroy. And some people have the audacity to say our freedom should not be limited. They are crazy. And from those things we see why our freedom is limited? Do you know why? We are incapable of responsibility If we had total freedom.

As we must have limits for freedom. There cannot be too many limits or total limits else oppression will rise. Like in many governments in the world, the government, or armies, depending on how the government works, will oppress its people to obtain its power. Like in North Korea? Where its leader Kim Jong-un His father, Kim Il Sung, and his grandfather, Kim Sung Il have brainwashed his people to think that their government is the greatest in the world and that everywhere else is Terrible. Not just that. The army is so brainwashed that the people cannot even stand up for themselves. The ones who are, well, not brainwashed. This quote “But I want it to be your decision, not mine, and not the Captain's. But remember that the captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority” (Bradbury 104) is how the different lives of North Korean people live. The people like Montag or favor are the ones who are not brainwashed and trying to escape. The government is the army and the leaders of North Korea. And if the government does find that you are doing these actions while you end up just like Clarice. And, because the army and the government are the majority considering North Korea's army is one of the biggest in the world, the people literally cannot do anything. A revolution would be impossible. Because of this, they have absolutely no freedom to do what they can do. The quote “Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say” (Bradbury 79) It's also something that happens in the country. People have no freedom of social media access, and all the TV is North Korean propaganda that shows nothing of the outside world, nor can they access anything of the outside world. They have no freedom to see what true things in the world are just as the books in Fahrenheit contained so much knowledge and the government is scared that the people will find out. It is the same thing in North Korea in the people who do not want to find out what happens in the countries like the west so that they are so that they think they would be brainwashed into having western ideologies. This is oppression the fact that the people of North Korea have no freedom at all. This is also what happened here in the United States during the 50s. When people of color rights limits and restrictions were too much. And considering the majority of people at the time were Caucasians. This would conclude that people of color would indefinitely be oppressed so in the end, they fought for freedom. The reason they could be because they are knowledgeable unlike the people of North Korea has been brainwashed their entire lives. And that is also the reason the people of Fahrenheit live the way they do. They have no knowledge, so they think that the life there is living Is right. That's what happens when you take too much Freedom. That happens when you limit the knowledge and rights of people. It leads to oppression. But there are some people like the Un brainwashed, North Koreans, and people like Guy in Faber who know that they are oppressed and would try to gain freedom. This will also lead to chaos, which then both sides would have to fight. But they have no choice. Also, in the end, one leads to another when it comes to oppression and chaos. As in balance, one cannot exist without the other If one is higher when it comes to freedom.  

When it comes to freedom, there must be balance in freedom. It cannot be left or right. It must be a middle or else Chaos or oppression will rise. In order to achieve that, we all must work together. The balance of freedom cannot just be out of a whim of nothing. President Roosevelt said, “The happiness of future generations of Americans may well depend upon how effective and how immediate we can make our aid felt” (Roosevelt 1). If we do work together to achieve that, we will not have to live in terrible conditions, we will all be free. Free, as if it is not in a high or a low in freedom. And why must there be balance in freedom? This is because if we humans do not have balance and freedom then either depression will rise in us, or desire will fill us up. If there are too many limits to our freedom, we would turn depressed, sad, and turn into people in Fahrenheit. Well, I mean, people in Fahrenheit, I mean, the man who threw himself off the building. Why did he throw himself off the building? Because he did not want to live this sad life Because his life was a life of just being controlled. But if we had too many freedoms, we would end up like the people in the purge. Chaotic, destructive, Psychopathic, murderous, and who else knows what. There are also people who will ruin that balance. “We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests” (Roosevelt 1). Of Course, I am talking about anarchists. Ones who ruined the balance of freedom. The ones who ruin it if we do not have limits. There are also things that limit our freedoms Such as social media apps shadow banning people on social media. Shadow banning means blocking people from seeing users' posts from their followers, or random people just seeing the post. This can come from personal bias from the app creators. Or the government paying app creators to block these messages to people. Both things ruin the balance of freedom. And you would not want this to happen to you. That is why there must be balance in freedom.

Conclusion

In the end, we must understand that there must be limits on freedom. But there cannot be too many or be all limited or else we end up like North Korea.  We as humans must strive for the balance of freedom in order for our lives to be great and wonderful. If not, we will only be filled with misery and torment. The Balance of freedom keeps our lives together, and with it, the lives are of our children and our future generation.
