A strong family foundation is the best way to address social ills. Do you agree? / essay qn.10

Strong family foundations may not be able to address social ills that result from compulsive behaviour. People who suffer from compulsive behaviour need external help from organisations to help them quit their habit. Therefore, government intervention in the form of the law and other reformative instituitions may be better at alleviating these forms of compulsive behaviour. Some examples of reformative instituitions include the rehabilitation center from drug addicts and the girls' home. Government interventions also include setting of certain laws and regulations to provide a paternalistic approach to help people with compulsive behaviour. Such an example would be the self-binding scheme where the people are able to restrict themselves voluntarily by law from going into casinos.
Through the law and reformative instituitions, people with compulsive behaviour are better able to receive the help they need as strong family foundations may not neccessarily provide the best help to them. As a result, strong family foundations may be able to address social ills that result from compulsive behaviour. However, government interventions in the form of laws and regulations is better at addressing the issue of social ills that result from compulsive behaviour.
