    IN MY opinion‚ our teenagers nowadays are enjoying too much freedom compared to those before. Freedom helps teens feel more powerful and self-confident. But too much freedom can easily backfire‚ leaving a teen floundering. Some of them start taking advantage of too much freedom. Although teenagers might be reluctant to admit it‚ they still need the stability that parental authority can offer. Some parents remain so busy with their work that they forget their responsibilities towards their children

    “Sin: an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law” (“http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sin”). How does one fall into the category of being sinful? In the novella Anthem‚ Ayn Rand portrays Equality to be sinful because of their appearance‚ according to the society they live in. Prometheus does not understand this and uses his sin to an advantage. Prometheus is marked as being “sinful” because he is not physically and mentally equal as his society wants him to be. Because

If one defines it as the ability to make a choice and act on it completely detached from the input‚ control‚ or otherwise influence of persons or society‚ then absolute freedom is an unattainable goal. Gerry Spence‚ author of the essay “Easy In The Harness: The Tyranny Of Freedom‚” asserts that “freedom is like a blank‚ white canvas when no commitments‚ no relationships‚ no plans‚ no values‚ no moral restraints have been painted on

Freedom has such a great meaning and value to me because I know what it is like to have no freedom. To me freedom is much more than just being able
