should humans make their own decisions in life?

 should humans make their own decisions in life?

-Sama Aggad 9A

 going through life is a series of choices you made that got you to this very moment, we might deeply regret some bad decisions we made that lead to consequence that hurt you or others, dose that mean our choices should be controlled? would that solve anything? I have my doubts about this theory. limiting or completely discarding our ability to make our own choices, will do no good for society, some argue that "Humans are flawed and irrational and the decisions they make hurt themselves and or others" and to them i say, consequence's that come from our mistakes make us stronger (and even if we can temporarily suppress the consequences of our actions it will always be back) and we learn from them and evolve as a society, as for arguments stating that "some mistakes do not provide a lesson at the end" you most certainly did not look further into the events.  

making our choices is our free will and our right, and we will NOT stand for our right to be taken away. The question of free will touches on almost everything we care about, morality, law, politics, sexuality, identity, religion and feelings of guilt personal accomplishment. our free will which is basically our ability to make our own choices in life, it is our identifier, it is what makes an individual themselves, and although society fears individuality and is threatened by the concept of someone sticking out in anyway amongst others, and society wishes to construct us humans into being exactly the same like the teeth on a hair brush, by silencing our voices and limiting or freedom to make our own choices to what they see fit. 

And if we all agree to give up our freedom of choice and attend to society's wishes, then we will not grow or evolve we will be stuck in the position we are currently in, the reason being and I will explain it with utter simplicity, without our right to make our own choices for ourselves, there will be no more room for individuality, and without individuality there will be no more demand for change and therefor society will cease to continue evolving. 

We are society, but as individuals we are all against society in some way.

Idiocracy

  "Ideocracy" is a post apocalyptic/ comedy film directed by Mike Judge. Released in 2006, it portrays a dystopian future where society's intelligence has plummeted with an average IQ of 4 due to a repeated pattern of poor natural selection. The story follows an average military guy who was chosen to be part of a science experiment that basically involves military personnels to be frozen as part of a military hibernation project, in order to preserve their best soldiers, for the strongest wars, However, the project is forgotten, and the protagonists wakes up 500 years later to discover a world where society has devolved into an intellectually challenged and absurd state. While this movie is meant for comedic exaggeration and entertainment some elements of the film seem to be chillingly familiar, for example one of the earliest scenes when the protagonist wakes up in a strange man’s house as the strange man watches TV but with multiple channels and adds playing simultane

The chaos of freedom

  The chaos of freedom  Sama el aggad  2023 In contemporary society, the concept of "being free" is a multifaceted phenomenon, driven into the fabric of political, social, and cultural dimensions. Freedom, at its core, is a complexity, of individual liberties, societal structures, and cultural values, and social hierarchy. we live in a constant agonizing battle for individual rights like free speech and fair treatment, a Civil War between people who want the same thing. Culture, with its traditions and norms, when weaponized becomes the root of the issue, But who says we can't challenge these norms? It's a constant push-and-pull, a tug-of-war between the way things were and the way we want them to be, because humans are stubborn and won’t settle for a middle ground, so they fight till there is no ground to stand on, because it’s all left to the hands of politicians. In the uproar about freedom, these news agencies like, BBC News and The New York Times, and various oth
