Self Determination

Very strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns strongly with the self-determination ideology, as it emphasizes the importance of individual choice and autonomy. Allowing citizens to choose whether or not to serve in the military respects their personal preferences and goals, and promotes a sense of personal responsibility and commitment to their chosen path. Countries with voluntary military service, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have seen success in maintaining national security while respecting individual freedoms.

Strongly agree

No

Self-determination ideology supports the idea that individuals should have the freedom to choose their own path in life. By not requiring military service, citizens have the opportunity to pursue their own interests and goals, which aligns with the principles of self-determination. Countries like the United States and Canada, which do not have mandatory military service, demonstrate that a voluntary military can still be effective and maintain national security.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This answer attempts to find a compromise between mandatory military service and individual choice by focusing on education and skill development. However, it still requires all 18-year-olds to participate, which goes against the principles of self-determination. While this approach may be more appealing to some citizens, it still imposes a specific path on individuals without considering their personal preferences or goals.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this answer does consider individual circumstances, it still imposes mandatory military service on a specific group of people, which goes against the principles of self-determination. This policy could also create a sense of inequality and resentment among citizens, as it targets those who may already be facing challenges in their lives. Historical examples of countries with similar policies, such as the Soviet Union, show that this approach can lead to social unrest and dissatisfaction.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Self-determination ideology emphasizes the importance of individual choice and autonomy. Mandatory military service goes against this principle, as it forces individuals into a specific path without considering their personal preferences or goals. Historical examples of countries with mandatory military service, such as Israel and South Korea, show that this policy can lead to social unrest and dissatisfaction among citizens.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

This answer targets a specific group of people for mandatory military service, which goes against the principles of self-determination. It also perpetuates stereotypes and stigmatizes individuals with criminal records, potentially further marginalizing them and limiting their opportunities for personal growth and development. Countries with similar policies, such as the United States' use of military service as an alternative to incarceration, have faced criticism for perpetuating inequality and discrimination.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

This answer not only supports mandatory military service but also extends the required time, which strongly goes against the principles of self-determination. By imposing a longer period of service, this policy further restricts individual choice and autonomy, and may lead to increased dissatisfaction and resentment among citizens. Historical examples of countries with extended mandatory military service, such as the former East Germany, show that this approach can lead to social unrest and a lack of personal freedom.
