I Need Someone to Protect Me from Myself
Without law and order, man has no freedom.  This statement represents a classic paradox.  Within all societies exists a code of ethics governing both professional and social situations.  Suppose, for a moment, that our government made all our decisions.  Big brother declares our actions, taking away our ability to choose.   For your next blog, think about what freedom really means.  Perhaps you may want to even check the US Constitution for some inspiration before answering this prompt.  Once you have thought deeply about true meaning of freedom, make a case for or against total government control.  You may even cite certain historical events in our own country or abroad. For example, the parental advisory stickers on music CDs started with the notion that the government decides what content can be heard.  Presently, there are countries that limit these freedoms we often take for granted.  However, some believe that these liberties lead to a decadent society.  Make your choice and argue your position.  This prompt will be worth two blogs.
