Should government have the right to change the lifestyle or culture of a person?

I think that the goverment should not be able to change a persons culture. I think this because people have a right to follow there ansesters foot steps. Also why cant people do what they were taught too do in there previous country? It makes no sence that we have to be forced to do something that we are not accostomed to do. We should live life doing what our people and culture has us do.
