Some people think that the government should ensure the healthy lifestyle of people, but others argue that it should be decided by individuals. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

  It has been suggested by some individuals that the authorities had better make sure that their residents are leading a healthy lifestyle, whereas others hold the view that people should be at liberty to choose their way of living. As far as I am concerned, although the former opinion may seem reasonable concerning the improvement in public health, I gravitate towards the latter one in terms of people’s different backgrounds and possible impracticality.

  On the one hand, the idea of the government controlling residents’ lifestyle can be somewhat justifiable. This can be ascribed to the enhancement in public well-being. Specifically, the standardization of eating or sleeping habits, which can be established from thorough research, can help ensure that most citizens take care of themselves properly, thereby doing wonders for their well-being. As a result, the amount of public funding allocated on healthcare services can be lessened, thus reducing the financial burden placed upon the government. 

  On the other hand, I am in favour of the statement that individuals should be the ones to decide their lifestyle. To begin with, it would be impractical to universally apply a set of lifestyle standards to every resident. It is a matter of fact that different citizens do not have similar backgrounds and mindsets. For example, residents snowed under with workload may not be able to manage time for exercising or going to bed early. Besides, underprivileged people cannot have nutritious meals as more well-off ones. Additionally, this policy may not be as effective as expected. Since each person has their own mindset as well as hobbies, they may be unwilling to follow a standardized diet or routine. Therefore, being demanded to follow a strictly-monitored lifestyle may make residents feel restrained and uncomfortable

  In conclusion, it is my perspective that despite the public health being improved, the governmental control over people’s lifestyle may be impractical in terms of people’s different backgrounds and mindsets as well as inefficiency.
