Each individual’s idealistic America is different. Although some desire varying degrees of freedom, a common thread of these dreams is safety. The average man simply has a desire to be safe, not needing complete freedom. The common good itself is a demonstration of how essential safety is to society. Laws and regulations restrict citizens from certain practices, but protect them. This protection and safety is valued above one’s personal freedom to do whatever they want. Airport security is one example of these practices. Since the 9/11 terrorist attack on US soil, the federal government has tightened airport security.

example of the significance of safety is the US military draft. Dating all the way back to the American Civil War, the method of recruiting soldiers provides safety for all Americans.

Like my peers and students across America, I understand the rules and regulations that the school and staff have put in place. The first day of school is filled with these rules. Students are bombarded with manuals, syllabi, and other papers requiring a “parent or legal guardian” signature. Each of these fine-print papers explain rules that are set in place to protect students. Although some may view these regulations as restrictive of their freedom, they are essential for student safety.
