Question No.1: The freedom in the world survey evaluates the state of political rights and civil liberties around the world. Provide a description of this survey and a “ freedom” ranking of the leaders and laggards of the world. What factors does this survey consider when forming the ranking?

Answer:

1. General information

1.1.Concept

The Freedom in the World survey, which has been published since 1972, is an annual evaluation of the state of freedom in every country in the world. The survey divides freedom into two broad categories: political rights and civil liberties. Political rights allow people to join political parties and organizations, compete for public office, vote freely for distinct alternative candidates in legitimate elections, and elect representatives who have a real impact on public policies and are accountable to voters. Civil liberties allow for the freedoms of expression and belief, associational and organizational rights, rule of law, and personal autonomy, including economic freedom, without interference from the state.

1.2. Original of Freedom ranking

Freedom in the World, Freedom House’s flagship publication, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. Published annually since 1972, the survey ratings and narrative reports on 193 countries and 15 related and disputed territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide.

The Freedom in the World survey provides an annual evaluation of the state of global freedom as experienced by individuals. The survey measures freedom-the opportunity to act spontaneously in a variety of fields outside the control of the government and other centers of

    As Russia fears that there will be a separatist movement taking place sometime soon due to the recent political protests and demonstrations as a result of Putin’s continued reign as President, it has begun cracking down on the freedoms of its citizens. Demonstrations have been interrupted by law enforcement and even imprisonment. Russian citizens seem to gradually be losing their right to choose their leaders as Putin refuses to release his hold on authority and extend to his citizens the opportunity to voice their opinion through the medial or any other social outlet. Such censorship of individual thought is also evident within China which makes the expression one’s personal ideology and thoughts impossible. Within both countries there may be the freedom to choose, yet this freedom of choice does not truly reflect liberty as their choice is limited to a certain individual such as Putin or in China’s situation, the Communist Party. Nigeria’s political freedom is also hindered by election fraud. Even if the people do free cast their vote for a certain political candidate, the consistent reports of fraud throughout the country prove that there is no true liberty or freedom of choice. While some may view Iran as also being fraudulent when considering the…

    The idea of freedom can be seen in Collection 2 of our textbook. Freedom can be seen in the speech, “I Have A Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr, when he was speaking out to everyone about his dream to have the same rights as white men. A lack of freedom can be seen throughout the short story, “The Censors” by Luisa Valenzuela, when Juan discusses about how every letter is carefully read, which is an invasion of privacy. “Reading Lolita In Tehran” by Azar Nafisi also showed a lack of freedom, when the author discusses the lack of rights that women had to put up with.…

    In conclusion, people should not live without freedom, and nothing could do without it. People who have not freedom live like slaves because they forced for thing that they want to do.

Many celebrities like Mandela, and many kurdish poets mentioned freedom for their people in many…

    Kouakou Koffi Professor Sharifian GOVT 2305 07 October 2017 Civil Liberties vs Civil Rights “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This passage drawn from the Declaration of the United States Independence encompasses two notions, which at first glance look like the same, the Civil Liberties and the Civil Rights also known as Equal Rights. The laws enacted from these rights, even after all the efforts provided to make them fit to U.S. citizen’s live, are still subject of conflict when it comes to apply them. In this reflection, after an attempt of definition of each term, similarities and differences of both of them will be subject of analysis on one hands and on the other hands which sequence of them impact the most our everyday life.…

    Some people may think that they have the freedom to do what they like without any restrictions. They are completely wrong. For instance, some people think that they have the freedom to join the heretical Church of Almighty God and to kill non-believers. But they are so free that many innocent people have been killed by this anti-religious and anti-human cult. In addition, some countries hold up the banner of freedom and democracy, to interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries. This has lead to increasing world unrest. For example,…

    Many theories and assumptions have been fabricated upon the basis of man’s desires and beliefs. H.L. Mencken wrote, “The average man does not want to be free, only to be safe.” However, this observation does not correlate with what has been witnessed over the course of contemporary society. Since the 18th century, man has sacrificed safety for a reward that is much more paramount, freedom.…

This concept, through proven thoroughly, has some complications with adapting to todays society. Years later, Plato’s ideals are hard for today’s society to grasp.

    Freedom is an ideal that many people in privileged society take for granted on a daily basis. Just because some people find themselves at home in a country where social norms have evolved to allow a rational sense of individualism and free will within its borders does not concede that free will is a universal right. In fact, many other countries such as Syria struggle to bring their policies up to speed with more progressive democracies such as Spain or the Australia, and their populace suffers backlash from corrupt legal systems and government. However, one thing that these countries stand to learn from successful nations such as the United States is that populations with…
