Authentic Freedom A human being is free to do as what they please! That’s just an interpretation of authentic freedom. All too often humans think of freedom as a free for all. Authentic freedom is does not mean doing what one wants when one wants to whom one wants‚ but rather it means‚ understanding who one is ‚ that a human being is not alone and here to contribute to society.

Freedom of Speech I believe in freedom of speech. I believe it is a privilege over a right. We‚ as Americans‚ should use this freedom as often as we are able.

Freedom did not come easy for the former slaves of the United States of America. Racism was still highly prevalent in the process of ratifying the 13th Amendment and even more afterwards.

There is a letter in Voices of Freedom in the text that is from Elizabeth Sprigs and it is addressed to her father bring forward

James Shoemaker English 1A 2/25/14 Freedom of choice Llosa’s opinion in “A Smoker’s Right” is that to do something bad for us such as smoking is our own choice and we should have the freedom to do those harmful or bad things if we so choose since it it our body and our lives. I agree with Llosa to an extent‚ It is not freedom if we don’t have a choice. Her use of suicide does throw my support of her opinion off a little because I do not feel as if suicide
