Yes, it is force, but it is also necessary since we better function with rules set for society to follow together. It ensures that on a higher percentage, we are safe from each other. There most likely has been thought and consideration put into choosing the "right" thing, and whether we agree with it or not, it may be a better idea to follow through with it.
I agree with that scenario but what if it wasn't for a reason like safety or following the law? What if the person just thought they were doing the right thing for you while you knew it wasn't? Would it still be okay?
The "right" thing is done by force mainly to ensure there is a form of order in our society. However, this has a flaw due to the fact the "right" thing is different to everyone. Anything can be the "right" thing. It will all depend on the situation given that calls for a decision on what to do. Sumaya, the point you made is a good one, but like I said the person believes it is right, while it appears to you as if it is wrong. It all comes down to perspective. Everyone views things differently.
Why, hello there... First off, what is the "right" choice and what is "wrong" choice? The right thing in one's country/religion is either illegal or a taboo in another's. I don't think you can truly ever experience anything without you yourself choosing what you think is "right". People may help you choose, but you can't allow others to force their opinions on you and make you choose what they think is right. What’s the use of life if you’re living it for someone else? People may want others to choose their choices for them because they might be afraid of making wrong choices; but isn't making mistakes a part of life? We can't always choose the right thing, we're merely humans. So whether it comes down to the simplest choices such as clothes, food, etc. some might need another person to help them along the path because they might not make the right choices for themselves but other choices such as religion, political views, and etc. those should be your own and other people's views shouldn't be forced upon.
Yes, I believe it is force because we are basically brain washed from when we are young to follow certain rules, well not really rules but guidelines. But surely some thought has been put into every action that is made. But once one thinks through...surely it turns into a choice to a certain extent.
Choosing the right thing to do in life is what is normally taught when a child is being raised by there parents or guardians. People encourage others to do good because they know that the result of the decision will be a rewarding one. i don't think being told to do the "right" thing is forced upon anyone. Rather then using the term force I believe that the correct term to use in my opinion is encouraged. I can see why it seems as though doing the right thing seem to be forced on people because it almost seems as if it is a demand. Bering able to do the right thing will be an awarding result towards the end so whether it is a demand, or something that is encouraged doing the "right" thing shouldn't have to be forced upon people it should be a natural instead, and sadly for some it isn't.
I believe its force until you start to grow up. Once you start growing up you gain more knowledge and learn more about having a voice and choice. People want to choose the right thing for us because they believe everyone should be right. Which is a good belief but what is right? Others look at things differently and ones right might be another’s wrong. So as a child you are defiantly told to do the right thing because everything influences you at such a young age, and if you learn at that age you are bound to do "right" when you grow up. So majority of your life I believe you have choice but you are forced to do right while growing up. Humans are forced to do right, doing right gives you choice, therefore humans have choice.
I agree with Hanan that it is forced, and that we are taught to do the “right” thing when we are younger. I think that we are taught to do the “right” thing, so that we can become shaped into being a better person and to always do the “right” thing when making a decision. And that we take what we have learned and build of it once we grow up since when we grow up, we have better knowledge and understand on what is right to us. And we wouldn’t have this knowledge if we were not forced to do the right thing by our parents or guardian when we were younger
People choose for us the right thing to do because they believe in their biases and opinions greatly and try to reinforce them onto us. People like convincing others their perspective is right as no on likes to be wrong. It is not force because you can choose whether or not to believe in or follow the thing they are telling you to do. Force is if they got a gun and made you do something. Otherwise you agreeing to do something or disagreeing is all up to you.
I think that people choose the right thing for us because doing what they think is right gives them a good feeling, you feel rewarded. Nobody forces you to anything, you always have choices. You can be influenced, and given limited choices, but you aren't forced to do the right thing.
I do think doing the "right thing" is definitely forced. Your parents preach about it, religion preaches about it, societies and communities preach about it also. But it is only because it is the right thing to do. I would agree it is forced, but not all forceful situations are bad. Of course there are consequences when you don't do the right thing, but when you look at the bigger picture, forcing righteousness benefits.
Hey :)

ReplyDeleteIt's force, but it's for the greater good, not only to yourself but to those around you.
