Freedom is something not a lot of places are fortunate to have, but luckily in America everyone has the right to freedom. What if your freedom was taken away, leaving you helpless? Sadly enough that is how many people feel, and how many people live. Sometimes you have to fight for your freedom no matter what the situation is. Two examples that show this include the texts “The Boys Who Fought” and “Holocaust Survivor Stories” show how many people during World War 2 were deprived of their freedom.…
Freedom began with the Declaration of Independence, that to this day is still strongly believed in and followed to keep order. The Declaration included freedom of speech, this was practiced when Thomas Jefferson questioned and spoke out against his overly powered government. He made decisions based off of what he knew was fair and took his people into consideration when making big decisions, for example, the Louisiana Purchase. Jefferson’s books may have formed the foundation of Congress’ rebuilt library but he formed the foundation for which this country was built…
Freedom is probably the most important right that a person can have, but everyone in a time we forgot its value. In recent times we have appreciate acts of people or groups that wanted to take people’s freedom, by force or in their minds, a great example can be the Nazis when in 1939 starter a war, because they wanted to take away freedom from some people and exterminated. In the book Anthem we can see how the leaders of the society tried to take freedom away from people by not letting them choose by their own, taking away their thinking, destroying their minds by occulting the truth which is why you have freedom.…

[11:50:44 PM] Jeremiah: What is American? Is it the ability to enjoy an outdoor barbeque with your family? Is it fighting to defend freedom from the evils of this world? Being American isn't just simply a list of stereotypes and Kodak moments. Being an American consists of the ability to use the freedoms that one has been given and the consequences of that freedom.…
The dictionary definition of freedom is The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. But what is true freedom. In The American National Anthem, it claims that America is the “land of the free”, but what does that legitimately means. When you think of freedom, you think of the idea of being free,but that's not the case. If we are free, why do we have a government that watches our every move we compose on the internet. If we are free, why do we pay so many taxes and bills. If we are free, why do we have a lot of ridiculous laws that we have to follow every day. The point is that we are not actually free. Yes, we do have more freedom than other parts of the world, but we don’t have total freedom.…
Freedom is the state that you have power to act, speak and choose whatever you want. Everyone have the dream about being free and live without force in their lives, and also people have their rights to live without flexibility. Freedom is an essential act in people’s life because people who have not rights to speak or act are like a bird in a cage. People need freedom for choosing what they want to do, saying their ideas, and voting.…

In America, freedom is the gift to my generation. Speak freely, vote, or purchase whatever you want. It’s a responsibility such as driving safely, keeping a job, and serving in a jury with other citizens. Freedom is a choice of who you want to be, where you want to work hand, and how you will act in this world is it true that this world is it true that this precious gift, this box loaded with golden treasure, has been paid for by the sacrifice of others.…
Freedom is the single most well known attribute of our great nation. But just how free are we really? I would argue that America is one of the freest countries in the world, though it could be freer. The rights and freedom described in the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, as compared with what current society actually allows creates many different pictures of freedom from several perspectives.…
“The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” -H. L. Mencken. Mencken implies that the average man would rather know that he is safe then to have freedom without safety. He implies that the average man would be happy living as his nation’s pet. So how can we be safe if we don’t have the freedom to voice our oppression? How can we protect ourselves when the ones giving us safety turn against us? Our freedom is what makes us safe, without it we cannot be truly safe. Our freedom of free speech and our right to bear arms are what protects us from being squashed by a tyrannical government. Our freedom protects and empowers us to fight for the safety of all people.…
When talking about being American, freedom is one of the most important elements in building America. But do we know what freedom really means? According to Katharine Gammon, a freelance science writer who has contributed to many works for large corporations:…
You ask me "What freedom means to me? " I don't really think about these things. Now that I am I think that I have something to say about it. Freedom is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Freedom for me is something we abuse. For example freedom of speech we use that like its nothing people in other places don't have that freedom. Most people don't think about freedom as we do stuff during are day. We don't usually think "How did we get our freedom? " well that's a good question. People fought for are freedom we don't think about that, people risked their lives for us. There are still people who risk their lives for freedom people who can't do what we do, people who don't have equality. They cant say what they want or do what they want. I couldn't imagine myself without freedom not being able to say what I want or do.…

In the Declaration of Independence it states that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The right to liberty in my opinion is being able to do as one pleases. Not having to ask our parents for permission to go out, or having to have a curfew to get home. Listening and following directions from our parents is not liberty. It is not satisfying, and definitely not doing as one pleases. Liberty is having freedom. Being controlled by our parents is not having self control of ourselves and our lives. We should be allowed to do what we want, whenever we want to. In the Declaration of Independence the right to liberty is any basic right or freedom to which all human beings are entitled and in whose exercise a government may not interfere (including rights to life and liberty as well as freedom of thought and expression and equality before the law) (Free dictionary). We have the right to think and act on our own judgement. Having the right to liberty is the same as having the right to your life. It is your life, therefor we have the power and liberty to do what you want. The word liberty comes from libertarian, in 1789 the meaning to libertarian was one who hold the doctrine of free will. Liberty, with its root in Latin, had its origin in words for "unrestricted," "independence," and "separation." Liberty separated one from the mass of enslaved humanity and made one independent. My meaning to the meaning people used back then in 1789 is similar to the fact that people have the right to their own freedom. They have the power to be free. In a modern dictionary the meaning of the word liberty means freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, hampering conditions, etc.; power or right of doing, thinking, speaking, etc., according to choice. I believe the meaning used today to define liberty is freedom from control. It is meaningful today because people do as they please now. They are free in will and do…
