Hello everyone!

As it seems to be, today's topic is quite important to be discussed about that whether someone is free to do anything whatever they want to, without regarding it's imapct on society or they have some accountability towards the society of which they are part.

In my opinion, the freedom should be in such a way that society can't interfere in someone's privacy directly, but in some cases where the impact of individual's decision seems to have impact on sensitive matters which will have serious affect on not only that individual but to whole society like as ;some new traditions and laws that can't be affordable to everyone) there the interfere of civil society is needed.

So that they manage to change the individual's mindset but all this should not be done forcefully.

And finally, in my opinion, there should be a link between individual and society, so that both of these factors are connected to each other in positive way.

Thank you!

Individual freedom and Civil Society share a symbiotic relationship. They are very much interconnected. We have freedom of expression, freedomof speech but that doesnt mean an individual can do anything which can jeopardize the society. Same goes with the society, too many restrictions tend to burden a person which may lead him to become a rebel in the near future.

Everyone has a freedom but it's upto the person that how he takes it or how he utilises it.If we give freedom to a small boy and let him do what he wants then he can't be a good citizen for sure and we can't expect that also, because if we don't teach him something he won't get anything and do what ever he likes.

freedom should be given to a person who will utilise it in proper way and won't cross the limits.freedom must be given to choose the correct way to perform the responsibility towarts society.

Girls must be given freedom to live their life how they want to live it but all the above conditions are also for girls to be followed.

In case of choosing lift partner all have the power to choose that and that shouldn't be restricted by any one if both don't have any problem.

As a conclusion i want to say that we all have the freedom but we shood choose the write right way to proceed in the development of our society and it should be in limit!!!!

In a democracy every has a right to freedom, right to state his mind but we should not forget that as we live in a society, we do have a duty towards society (as it is famously said "with power comes responsibility". I think it is necessary to maintain that balance for smooth running of a country.

Like the recent National Counter terrorism Center (NCTC) it has been given a right to raid any place on its will.

Lastly, I feel a individual is given necessary freedom in a democracy but we also have a responsibility towards society, which in long run is going to help us.

According to me, individual freedom should be applicable to one and one citizen of India. Though India is a democratic country, many citizen are not having the right to take decisions themselves. This is because many of them are not educated. As per this reason they are cheated oftenly by listening the words of greedy and cruel people. According to me all should be literate at least up to their elementary education. All should have the courage to raise their voice against exploitations.

One might say that freedom might be misused by people in wrong ways but I firmly believe that corrupt government that follows unethical policies like bribery and nepotism and every level, nobody can really blame the citizens for the way they have turned out.

What is normal?

In order to not be deemed "abnormal" in society's eyes, we change ourselves, slowly diminishing our true self. However, freedom is a broad topic in which we as a whole is far from. When we change ourselves whether knowingly or in ignorance we are falling captive into society's net confining us as a whole.

Individual freedom is a matter of choice. It is up to the individuals how he or she wants to live his life. But the moments too much of leeway is provided it might become detrimental to the interests of society. Similarly if the society is too rigid on things like what people should do and what not the individual freedom can help the society amend such impositions. In the end what matters is how much balance is struck between individual freedom and civil society.

Man is a social animal he is live in society. The society have certain rules and regulation we must follow. We have responsible for that. If one can live in island or forest then he can live its on way.
