Freedom vs Security

Key words:

  • Freedom: the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
  • Security:

A thought provoking question that is at the core of government and many debates is do you want more freedom or more security?

Think of a see-saw

Or a balance scale

Governments and groups must balance do they want more freedom or more security. If you provide more freedom you have less security. If you provide more security you have less freedom.
