<p>Assignment: Is it better for people to have limited choices?</p>
<pre><code> Limited choices are detrimental to maintaining a stable government. Several examples from history and cinema prove that my viewpoint is legitimate.
Through the actions of James Madison, thousands of Americans had to flee the nations capital at the brink of its destruction. In 1813, the British had there sights on burning the United States Capital, Washington D.C., to oblivion; They were quite angry about the burning of York in Canada. However, James Madison did not care too much about why they were planning on attacking D.C… He was more worried about the limited options he had to preventing the attack. In addition, all his military forces were fighting in the battle of Brandenburg in Baltimore Maryland. Pushed to drastic measures, James Madison called a state of Emergency. Every citizen in the capital had to evacuate to Virginia or else they would be killed by British forces. Thus, the limited solutions that James Madison had resulted in the first time D.C. was burned by foreign invaders.
In the film Persepolis by Marjane Strapi, Marjane’s uncle must deal with limited solutions to save Iran from itself. During his involvement with Fereydoun’s Campaign, Marjane’s uncle had to make several momentous decisions. First, the country of Iran wanted to be finally liberated. He had fill out ballets and make numerous phone calls every night ,in his wrecked studio apartment , in order to get this to occur. However, some political officials did not want Iran to be liberated. As a result, they took it upon their selves to assassinate Fereydoun. Marjane’s uncle was left in shambles. He too was next to be assassinated as he was key organizer for Fereydoun’s political campain. Without him the campaign and Iran’s freedom would fall apart. However, in fear, he made the foolish decision to travel cross the Aiborz Mountains and leave the country for international support. Thus, Fereydoun’s assassination left Marjane’s uncle no choice but to let a country remain a terrible state.
After a critical analysis of the film Persepolis and the war of 1812, limited solutions are detrimental to maintaining a stable government. Had Marjane’s uncle or even James Madison been better decision makers, they would have not left their governments to crumble. Good decisions will always prevail in stable governments.
