Liberty Persuasive Speech
A very noble quote by Benjamin Franklin says “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” (Franklin, B. (n.d.). Speech.) After all, if the safety is genuinely that essential, how could we give it up just to get a little temporary something else; Liberty?
Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. (Johnson, S. (1831). Springfield , MA: Noah Webster.) Liberty is something that is given to everyone in the United States in order to have more freedom and to feel like you have more rights over your own actions. Some people take it out of hand and use the right of having

    Declaration Of Independence Persuasive Speech

    "Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,"-John F. Kennedy. The king of Great Britain was imposing taxes on us without our consent. He cut off all of our trades with the world, and he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. The question is if gaining our independence is a good idea or not? I believe we should allow him to cut all connections with us because that way we can enforce our own laws and grow as a fair country where everyone votes and are all equal. Gaining our independence will take time which we will make it without Britain.…

    Liberty and the Pursuit of Truth

    Liberty is defined as equality, state of being free or having freedom of choice. Sometimes our freedom can be limited because of the government policies. We shouldn’t just follow whatever the government addresses without thinking deeply about our options because sometimes they can lead us to a dead-end road. We should follow our instincts, and essence. Government responsibility to provide our needs and protect our right but sometimes that is not the case, they might direct us to the wrong way “They think that, if that they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it’s the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than evil” Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience. Liberty gives us the freedom to say no that what make it very important.…

    Does The Constitution Conserve American Liberty?

    Liberty is an American belief that every single person has the freedom and right to say and do whatever he or she wants. A current example of a liberty can be explained by current United States President candidate, Donald Trump’s slogan, “Let’s make America great again.” Although the statement provided is controversy, Mr. Trump has the liberty to infer that the current America we live in is not great. When has the United States been great? Some people would say during the time between the Industrial Revolution, and The Great Depression, but without the basic rights given to us from the United States Constitution, those times may not have been possible.…

    Values Of Founding Fathers Essay

    liberty is being free within a society from oppressive restrictions imposed by an authority which helps protect us as humans. An example being on the constitution, being the right to bare arms. That said, liberty is shown because it allows a citizen o have a gun inside his home. But it limits to only a certain use. The reason behind as to why our founding fathers have liberty as one of the original intentions is to make sure we have freedom but not having the authority to abuse it, because freedom is under no one's law and liberty is being able to protect freedom from freedom, basically protecting us from doing inhuman actions. Furthermore our fathers wanted liberty since the start, in order to maintain order within our people and create peace instead of wars. Another document as to where it shows liberty is the bill of right, Amendment IV because it limits the actions of our authority. Which clearly signifies how our authority can have freedom as to committing arrest but can’t search a house or person without a warrant. Which demonstrates how our founding fathers wanted to make sure that “each man's home is his castle”, in other words, no one should be able to go through his personal items without permission or warrant. Signifying how liberty has been a major part in our society and country and has been with us since the start of this country,in order to help create…

    United States Political Culture

    Liberty is the principal that individuals should be free to act and think as they choose. In other words, it is freedom from “government interference”. As stated by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”. In layman terms, the citizens of the United States will not have their religion, speech or press dictated to them; everyone has the right to practice whatever religion they choose, protest injustices without retribution, and can speak and write without the fear of punishment. In America today liberty is a big debate, as a melting pot country and the sperateration of church and state. The immigration laws that have been put in place in the last few years have taken the liberties away from aliens in this country. The other side of…

    Immigration into the U.S.

    Liberty is more than a word. Liberty is not merely a feeling, or something that we can express by defining just one way. Liberty is an expression often used, but its true importance is never understood. Liberty is the very fiber, the invisible hand that shapes our nation into what it should be. It allows us to reach great heights as individuals, but even greater heights as a nation. Liberty, in fact, is the very ideal that motivated the founding fathers of America to form a new nation, and to emphasize individuality and contribution to society. Which connects to the song when Neil Diamond talked about liberty and being free, when he said; “Free, Only want to be free, we huddle close, Hang on to a dream”. People all over the world come to America to seek liberty.…

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…

In other words, they are willing to sacrifice certain freedoms for safety and security.…
