Why We Need The Constraints?
We cannot exist in a world devoid of constraints. Constraints are essential to prevent societal descent into chaos. Disparities in ideas, opinions, conflicting ambitions, and competition for scarce resources are inherent among individuals, leading to potential disagreements expressed through open conflict.
- People often get into fights for various reasons, like arguing over parking spots or disagreeing about movies.
- These fights can turn violent, putting lives at risk.
- That is why every community needs ways to stop violence and solve arguments.
- If we respect each other’s ideas and don’t force our own opinions on others, we can live together with few rules, which helps freedom.
- In a perfect free community, people should be able to believe what they want, make their own rules, and choose what they do.
- But making this kind of community also means accepting that people have different ideas, thoughts, and beliefs.
- Sometimes, though, sticking strongly to your beliefs can cause problems with people who think differently.
- If we see other ideas or ways of living as bad or wrong, we might need laws and rules to stop one group from forcing its ideas on another.
- These rules help us talk about our differences without making anyone do things they don’t want to do.
- And when people are pressured or bullied into doing things they don’t want to do, we need stronger laws to keep everyone’s freedom safe.

Freedom means being able to do what you want and enjoy the value of your actions. There are two types: positive and negative. Positive freedom includes rights that help you develop without harming others. Negative freedom means there are no limits on what you can do. Freedom comes in different forms natural, civil, political, economic, and religious. To protect freedom, we have things like democracy, equal rights, economic security, and constitutional laws.
