Is America still the land of the free or is it just for some people? In the past few months there has been a lot of stories about black women and men‚ even children‚ who has been slaughtered by the police. And I say slaughtered‚ because that is how it was.

’Everywhere man is born free‚ but everywhere he is in chains’ Jean-Jacques Rousseau Man is not free and he would never be. If free will really exists‚ limits and boundaries would have not existed. The presence of the other causes the other’s non-existence. We aren’t born with the knowledge of the world; we only learn a small portion that our community accepts‚ but no one seems to realize that.

slavery and American freedom go together hand in hand. Morgan argues that many historians seem to ignore writing about the early development of American freedom simply because it was shaped by the rise of slavery.

view on free will when he says‚ "either man is wholly determined or else man is wholly free." This quote shows us that Sartre believes that man is free to do what he wants.

In that sense freedom is the source of all values. It is not logically possible to make sense of human responsibility and notions of justice without a conception of free will.

The value of freedom of speech | | Everybody has a right to his or her own opinion. Freedom of speech involves toleration of what may seem to you a great deal of nonsense and even of matters which are in bad taste. John Stuart Mill in his essay “On Liberty in Utilitarianism Etc.” stated his belief on the matter by saying‚ “There ought to exist the fullest liberty of professing and discussing‚ as a matter of ethical conviction‚ any doctrine‚ however immoral it might be considered.” | | |
