In a world where privacy is only a dream and a dream is seemingly not even private anymore; freedom is only a blur and it is only to be achieved by those who are truly free, no one. Freedom, the idea of being free, incalculable, but also non existent. Freedom does not exist, although incalculable, there is an amount to which something can be free, it is defined as what we can do, it is portrayed in our actions, but no one can do anything, there are always laws; no one is ever truly free. Nobody…

From Lock’s perspective, people come always first; in other words, the person’s interest is prioritized over the society as an overall. Lock articulates that individuals are rational and they have a brain so they can make their own decision so the government should not make choices on people’s behalf; human beings can do anything in their self-interest or for to make themselves prosperous except harming others (Killing other is forbidden).

The government was not made to control citizen’s every move or just to give people power. The government was made to keep the country safe. To make difficult decisions, so society doesn’t have to.
