This is largely a question of morality.

* What is morality? Definitions.

--> Pragmatism and Morality: William James and John Dewey on Morality) A moral system and belief in God is good only if it's beneficial for the society.

--> Logical Positivists' views on morality (moral statements are non truth functional and are thus outside the scope of Philosophy)

--> Kant's views on morality (Hypothetical imperative and Categorical Imperative). Emphasis on morality and virtue.

Now connect this with the following:

* Individual and Society.
--> Does conventional morality restrict individual freedom?

Then you can talk about Pakistan or take it anywhere from here. I could think of this much right now.
