Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but was out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

How is the example of a public protest similar to the family dinner vote?

Answer:

Both show conflict between the rights of individuals and groups

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the example about the family dinner voting, even when all the family members have the right to have for dinner what they like and enjoy it, they also have to respect the rights of the other and when they collide a member has to give up a right in order to respect the others, besides next time it could be the other way around. The same happens in the example of the public protest, people have the right to express their own opinion in a free and public way, and sometimes when our opinions or beliefs may clash we have to give up a right to respect other so everyone has a moment to make their rights being respected.
