Nowadays, citizens live with different kinds of lifestyles and there is a suggestion that governments should make decisions for people’s lifestyles. In fact, people’s lifestyle depends on many factors, such as their daily life, income, concern, and comfort. I must respectfully disagree with this notion as I believe that it will be hard for the government to manage their citizens to have the same lifestyles.
It is no secret that lifestyles also depend on their daily life. There are many kinds of people who adopt healthy lifestyles with different approaches. For instance, people who do not have time to work out will try to consume real food and avoid sugary products, in order to maintain their health. It will be different with people who have time to go to a gym. They would be less guilty when they eat more carbs or sugary products because they will burn it in the gym.
In society, there are people who have glamorous lifestyles and others have frugal lifestyles. This phenomenon happens because they have different perspectives, visions, and finances. In other aspects, such as business, there are many kinds of companies that sell the same product in different ranges of price and quality for different types of customers. It will not be fair if governments should decide about citizens’ lifestyles because they have various life backgrounds.
For the reasons I mentioned above, I believe that people can fully take responsibility to decide what kind of lifestyles they want to follow. However, governments can influence their citizens to have, for instance, healthy lifestyles through public advertising. Although the decision to adopt this lifestyle will be on that person.
