Should Government make a decision about people’s lifestyle or should people make their own decisions?

#government #decision #people’s #lifestyle #people #decisions
Some
people
 argue that the ministry should decide how other
people
 should live their lives, while others think
people
 should decide for themselves.
Although
 the ministry can enforce
laws
 and
punishments
 that are important for maintaining a healthy and safe society, it is up to the individual person to decide for themselves how they want to live their lives. The states make sure the society is safe and healthy by enforcing
laws
 and
punishments
. When citizens do not obey these, they get punished, which prevents others from being rebellious. Adolescents should not drink alcohol as that would damage their health and cause addiction. They are
also
 more prone to start narcotics when they are abusing alcohol. The state can prevent
this
 phenomenon by making it against the law to buy alcohol when younger than eighteen years old.
Although
 the ministry can impact
people
’s lifestyle by
laws
 and
punishments
, it is important for
people
 to make their own choices about how they want to live their own lives. It is impossible for the policy-makers to know how the various individuals prefer to behave, dress, work, and live. Dictating how
people
 should live is impossible as only the person itself knows best what lifestyle they want. If
people
 are not left to decide how they want to live, tension and conflict may result in that county.
For example
, some states ruled by Islamic leaders, have strict rules saying that every citizen should believe in Muhammed as the true God, and dress in a specific way. It is
however
 always a part of the population that disagrees with
this
 belief, which results in tension and conflicts.
This
 is indeed the case in many Islamic countries. To conclude,
although
 the states can make
laws
 and
punishments
 to keep their citizens as healthy and safe as possible, it is up to the person itself to make their own choices as
that is
 analogue with freedom, peace, and tranquillity of the country.
