GOVERNMENT CONTROL
Governments should have very little
control over its citizens. No freedom
should be taken away from people under any circumstances. Governments should only have a basic control on
its people. For example citizens should follow the rules that the government
set, like laws. Governments should also force citizens to pay taxes, so the
government can create a better society. Although governments should force
people to follow some rules, the government should not have the right to tell
you how to live your life. They should not take away your freedom or your
rights as a citizen. Governments should have a little control in our lives, as long
as they are not taking away your freedom.
THE TRUMAN SHOW
In the movie “The Truman Show” we
can see how the government has total control over Truman and he had no freedom
at all. The directors/creators of the TV show forced Truman to stay in
Seaheaven. Whenever Truman tried to leave Seaheaven something prevented him
leaving. Truman had no choices that he could ever make. He could not decide
anything about his life, whether it was where he lived, where he worked. Truman
had no choices, every choice was made by the directors of the show, he did not even
have the choice to know the truth about his life. This is what a controlling government
can be if it takes away peoples freedom.
