Core Argument - Rules alone are insufficient; discipline is essential for adherence and effectiveness [1] - Freedom, when suppressed, will inevitably find a way to escape [5][7] - Rules should protect, not suffocate, and must be justly applied [8] - Discipline, though potentially restrictive, is a force for self-improvement and success [10][12] Historical Examples - The Prohibition era in the United States (1920s) demonstrated that banning alcohol led to increased consumption and creative ways to circumvent the law [2][3][4] - The Berlin Wall exemplified how strict rules and discipline could not ultimately prevent people from seeking freedom [6][7] Practical Application - Wikipedia's initial lack of rules resulted in unreliable information; the introduction of moderation and rules improved its trustworthiness [8][9][10] Personal Reflection - Personal discipline, such as reading a set number of pages daily, can lead to self-improvement and achievement [11][12] - Reflecting on rules broken and their consequences can provide valuable insights [13]
