Free will’s gambling
Because of the debate on the casino in Singapore, the issues are transmitted to the paternalism of the Singapore goverments. It is obviously that this issue is mainly about the freedom and liberty in individuals and the politics with the control of the goverment. People may think that the government is like a nanny or parent looking after the kids, but lack of the freedom. I think that the paternalism is not necessarily undisirable. In some ways, the paternalism of the government is good to a country and its people. Besides, I think that paternalism is not paradoxical with liberty.
About the social contract, every people get their own rights, but different people and organisations may have different interests. When their intersts conflict each other, the social problems may be caused. Therfore, an organisation with power may be used to regulate the conflicts to achieve a balance, than make sure people’s rights. Thus, the government is needed. With this issue, we are sure that the government should control the condition like parents. Sometimes, the government may not achieve some people’s demands because of the majority or the social repercussions. However, this is necessary. Just like the casino peoblems, some people may like to have a casino in Singapore but the government may think about the effects of the casino and contrast between the bebefits and bad effects and then disagree about this decision. To determine the main direction of the nation is the job of the government. When deciding the issues like the casino, the patanarlism is necessary.
Besides, paternalism is not totally opposite the liberty and liberty is also not anarchism. Government’s paternalism actually helps the people make sure their rights and benefits. If the liberty is to let the people have their own plan of life, we can suppose what the society will be like. For example, about the casino, some people says that they want casino and this is their life’s choice. Casino is a place to gamble which can make home broken, and is a kind of social problems. If their demand is achieved, we may find that when they get some freedom, they also lose some rights. They will lose the normal life. They will lose their development. This is not what liberty is supposed to do. Like the pornography, smuggling and drugs, these kind of things should be forbiden. Thus, paternalism should be used at this time. Without the paternalism, we may not be sure the society’s direction. To achieve the hamony of the society, the paternalism is also not entirely undisirable.

Therefore, we know the paternalism’s importance and the free will’s sometimes bad effects in some ways. The free will is just like the gambling in the casino. It may take the benefits sometimes, but it also has large risks. It may take bad effects and the society may be affected. At that tine, the paternalism should be used toward the issues which may drive the nation to the wrong direction. The government also should act like parents in the home to teach and lead the people to the right way and make sure the development
