Since every control method has costs and benefits, we need to find a balance

Since every control method has costs and benefits, we need to find a balance, and that balance will be subject to the level of variance we can accept.  For instance, seed packets we might buy in a discount store would need a much lower level of control than seeds sent to the space station for experimentation. 

Think through that process in relation to your life, and tell about a time you think you were subjected to a control procedure that seemed either far too demanding or not demanding enough.  It could be a policy at an educational institution, your place of work or even in your private life.  Explain why you hold the opinion you do, and how you might amend the procedure to be more reasonable.
