Debate against 'Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains'

Dear Student,

I totally disagree with the quote that ‘man is born free and everywhere he is chains’. This is because I do not feel that man is ever born free. From the day he is born, he is bound by the society. He has his parents, relatives and friends, who build a kind of enclosure for him. He is encircled by the chains of responsibilities, etiquettes, duties etc. These chains cannot be seen but they are disheartening and painful. They take away all the excitement of life. Freedom is just a word for man and it has no meaning in the real scenario.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.

Hi Jasmeen,

When a man takes birth he is an innocent being with no duties and responsibilities. He is as pure and innocent as a child of God, but than he is a social being son or a daughter of someone with host of relatives and indebted to his parents and society at large for being given an identity.

But a man is found in chains is a fact which is difficult to challenge! The truth of his bondage is reflected at various levels. First is the biological bondage of his various phases in life birth, teenage, youth, maturity, old age and finally death. There are some other chains where the man is caught in present scenerio like social and political chain. In social chain you may see the evils or the cruel acts against women or the weaker section of the society, illeteracy, unemployment these are all the social evils where the men is caught today. In politics we have the exploitation of the masses by the handful of dictators who have curbed the man's right of expression and speech. We talk about fundamental rights and human rights they are merely theoretical concepts in todays scenerio. Therefore man is neither born free nor lives in freedom.
Hope my answer has helped you.
