Watching the response to the riots in France and the way our government similarly reacts to challenges, it's obvious that they're treating the symptoms, rather than the causes of issues. It's a populist response lacking in intellectual rigour.
A crackdown on certain behaviour generates a greater backlash, leading to more crackdowns, in an unvirtuous cycle of repression, when it's repression that causes the problem in the first place.
Surely it's better to treat the cause than merely react to the symptoms? Analyse and discuss.

'better to treat the cause than merely react to the symptoms' Unless one is authoritarian. As history tells us, which is why certain political parties abhor education.
