The freedom to live where we want, to own property, to take part in the government, to give a better future for our kids and most importantly, the freedom to be treated like a human being (K 2009).…
Freedom and individualism are a significant component of contemporary society, however there are many parts of the world where these basic human rights are not granted.…
“In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the finger, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.” (Washington, p. 107) This expresses how no matter what race, country or gender you are from, you are still needed in society to improve the country as a whole. Throughout the beginning of American history, Americans have fought for freedom and equality from their mother country. Even in the recent years, people fought for gay marriage equality, giving homosexuals the right to marry the person they love and have the same benefits as other marriages have. In fact, some people may be concerned about what equality really means; Equality means that you are given equal status, rights and opportunities regardless of the race, ethnicity, or anything that might discriminates you. Equality opens up many doors for individuals giving them an option to become better in society. But in equality, there will always be problems either racially or socially.…
These freedoms let us have a more relaxing life without anyone to command us to do certain things. We could choose to go to England's church, a different church, or have no religion at all. You wouldn't have to pay taxes to government you don't even believe in. You have the freedom to own a farm with no one taking your money because you would be free from England's rule after you win the war. As a Patriot, we can be what we want, and believe in what we want.…
A Vision Achieved Jefferson envisioned a government that allowed its citizens to exercise inalienable rights. In exact words, he states, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." To be more evident, how can we define these "inalienable rights" of "life", "liberty", and the "pursuit of happiness?" Have these inalienable rights, achieved Jefferson's goal? I am convinced, Jefferson's revolutionary vision of life, liberty, and happiness has at last been achieved in America.…
America’s gift to my generation is freedom because we have our very own rights,we have the benefit of a free education, and we have opportunities that most other countries don’t have. Rights are a necessity to our freedom because without them we aren’t considered free. If it weren’t for different types of rights such as, human rights, women rights, due process, speech, we wouldn’t have liberty. Human rights are one of the most important type of rights because they inherent to all human beings no matter your race, age, gender, etcetera. It actually states that everyone has the right to life, freedom, and safety.…
I can express my opinion on various subjects without the worry of being prosecuted or persecuted. I can speak out for or against my Government. Americans can have as many or as few children as they please, without the government interfering in their lives. The Government does not tell Americans that they may only have 1 or 2 children. Women can vote, show their faces, and speak without fear of being beaten.…
Also,freedom because we can do what we want while pertaining the law. Last but not least technology because we can use it for education. Technology is the best yet to happen to America.…
The many documents that became the foundation of American “freedom” support the idea that America is free. One of the most well known lines of the Declaration of Independence claims we have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. The first point is the simplest. We have the right to be alive,…
America is a free and privileged country, but the main reason we’re able to have all the rights we have is because we have soldiers all over the world fighting for our freedom. All the soldiers know when they go into battle they may not be able to see their families again but they still choose to go and fight for our rights and freedom. Freedoms such a Freedom Of Speech,, Freedom Of Religion and The Right To Bear Arms. Those are a few rights that we have as Americans and of course there are many more those are a few that are commonly known.…
In my opinion America is the greatest country on earth. One of the best things about America is our freedom. Our freedom is something to truly be proud of! In many other countries you have to filter what you say, but not in great ole America you are legally able to say whatever you want. In some Asian countries young children and lower class adults have to work in factories for very low pay, just because there is no other options. In America this is not the case, here we could work where ever we desire, with the right education of course. Religion, religion is a big one. In many counties what, or whom you worship is controlled by the government.…
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.…

I was born and raised here in the United States. Therefore, I have been part of a generation that has experienced both the good and the bad. When I was younger, I always thought America was the greatest country in the world. I was so proud to be born and raised in the United States. I remember learning about 9/11 every year, watching Barack Obama become our first African-American President, and learning about the many tragedies our nation has faced along these past few years. Being an American and witnessing so many events unfold these past few years has made me feel both happy and upset with how our nation has evolved. The United States is filled with so much pop culture and technology and…
As an American, I have many rights and liberties given to me by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Some of these rights include the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the freedom to petition, and our freedom of assembly. We also, because of the Bill of Rights, can start our own…
