There are greatly differing views to whether anyone can try to make others accept their point of view and is a delicate issue that has to be dealt with in society. One point of view is that no one has the right to dictate their views whether or not people respond to them. Each individual is unique and has their own personal thoughts and beliefs, which should not be made to alter if they are correct. Humans have been given ‘free will’ by God to act and think by themselves and have the freedom to choose what they consider is just. Hitler forced people to follow his views, which many thousands of people did even though they were unjust and inhumane and this caused the massacre of millions. This shows that by trying to make others accept your view may not always be correct and may cause greater harm. The Catholic Church strongly disagrees with the use of force.
