In the coming weeks, we will be talking about how governments should enforce public safety. We will start with transportation safety, since it accounts for a large portion of public safety. It has become a common practice for most countries to enact laws requiring drivers and passengers to buckle up, and cyclists to wear helmet. Although such measures have proven to be effective in saving lives, critics say that they erode people's freedom. Please share your opinions with the class on this question before our next class: is it justified for governments to require citizens to wear safety gears like safety belts and helmets?
Claire
I will have to say that governments and the police officers are abusing their power when they require citizens to take certain safety measures. Free will is people's most important right, and people should be entitled to use their own discretion when it comes to risk management, as long as it does not involve others, which is the case for safety belts and helmets. In addition, such measures often incur financial burden on citizens. Yes, buckling up and wearing helmets do save lives, but in very rare cases. After all, how often do people get involved in car accidents? But they are now forced to pay certain money for uncertain accidents.

I advocate human rights and free will as much as Claire, and I would like to point out a fact: survival is the primal human right. So I think it is totally rightful for governments to enforce safety measures to protect the public. Witnessing the tragic and graphic car accident scenes and imagining the huge grief suffered by the victims' families, it would be senseless, if not cruel, to attack such measures. Also, safety belts and helmets do not only save lives, they also dramatically reduce the damage done to those who do survive car accidents and hence the medical costs incurred. All in all, mandatory safety precautions bring about so many benefits, which dwarf its minimal, while necessary, right intrusion.
