Society needs certain key parts to ensure that humanity doesn’t fall. This includes safety and freedom. Some people‚ like writer H.L. Mencken‚ believe that safety should be our priority‚ not freedom‚ “The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” Certain freedoms need to be surrendered to ensure our safety.
