How much control should goverments have over their citizens?

Governments shouldn´t control too much their citizens.Governments should not have control over a persons emotions or feelings. Every one as a human has the right to to feel and to love or to care about someone. Governments don´t need to choose who your family should be or who you should marry.Also governments shouldn't take other citizens free will, or to make the citizens decisions. 


In the Truman show, Christoff makes Truman´s decitions for him. Christoff chooses who will Truman will marry , who should he love, he also chooses his family and friends. Truman most of the time didnt had control of his life, Christoff even controls his emotions. Christoff was taking Truman´s free will and he was taking Truman´s emotions away. Governments shouldn't follow this example because this will take a human´s essence and the chance to make their own decitions.


In conclusion I think governments should have some control over their citizens but not absolute control. If the government has too much control over their citizens this might lead to strikes, or people that disagree with the government might rebel against them. The government should not have control over the citizens personal things such as: their feelings or emotions. The governments shouldn't be like Christoff in the Truman show, hypothetically Christoff would be the government and Truman would be the citizens , everything about Truman is controlled by Christoff.

  1. When I read your post of government control I felt that is true this idea about the absolute control over the citizens. You say that the control of the government can led you to lose your feelings and emotions, the government should not follow you in everything you do because their job is not to see everything about your life. Also, you need to have your own opinions of the world around you, make decisions and thoughts.
    You make this example of the Truman Show, this is a very good example about government control because Truman is living a normal life but the people around them don´t think the same. Christof make this fake city called Seaheaven to keep Truman inside the show. In addition, your blog post was excellent and explain everything about the true government.
