Some people might claim that people’ liberties should not be interrupted by any factors. However, this perspective is not true for the two following reasons which I am going to elaborate. From my point of view, I personally feel that people’s freedom can be restricted if it has a negative impact on other people’s health and family time.
First of all, people’s liberties can be violated when it hinders people from keeping in shape. This is because individual’s freedom tends to create noise pollution, particularly when they utilize mobile phones in public places such as public transport, offices or libraries. In other words, people will become readily stressed out, when they are disturbed by noise that they do not want. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University’s research department, an overwhelming 73 percent of the participants answered that they were in favor of the idea that the noise generated by cell phones in public areas can harmfully affect humans. They said that these uncomfortable circumstances in pubic sites made people irritated and annoyed. Also, since stress is one of the main factors of diseases through weakening the immune system, they thought that the use of cell phones do not give advantage
to people’s health.
On top of that, people’s freedom can be infringed upon when it deters them from having quality time with loved ones. The development in technology such as cell phones makes it difficult for today’s people to have personal time due to the order which are required by the boss over the phones regardless of any time. Further, it also makes one's family relationship to weaken. For instance, my cousin was a successful business women and she had a high reputation for her competence in the workplace. However, her family time was often disturbed by her business phone calls. Even when she had dinner with her family members on weekend, she had to stop eating and go to the workplace again because of the order from her boss. After much thought, she decided to leave her job and pay more attention to reinforce her family connection. This shows that the improper use of people’s freedom triggered by utilizing mobile phones did not give her authentic liberty and happiness.
To sum up, being restricted each person’s freedom should be needed when it detrimentally influences another person’s health and family rapport. In this regard, I fully believe that taking away people’s liberties should be implemented in specific conditions in order to ensure all people’s benefits.
