In the article “Democracy in Decline: How Washington Can Reverse the Tide,” the author, Larry Diamond, details the declination of democracy across the world as a global issue. Diamond explains that, following the Cold War, democracy became vibrant across the world. However, it slowly began to decline, which was seen in Kenya, Russia, Thailand, and Turkey. Additionally, other non-democratic states, particularly authoritarian regimes, are drifting further away from democracy, becoming less responsive to their people. Diamond explains that these authoritarian states are becoming less open because they are increasing their censorships and are arresting those who resist. Furthermore, these governments are also restricting organizations from outside communications and operations. Nearly a hundred laws have been enacted in the past four years restricting freedom of assembly in governments across the world.

The Republic of Korea has a liberal democratic political system. South Koreas political foundation resides in the sovereignty of the people and the responsibility to maintain every citizen’s welfare. Currently the president of South Korea is Park Geun-hye. The 11th and first female president was elected on February 25th, 2013. With Korea’s limited 5 year presidency she has until

As American essayist and social critic H.L. Mencken wrote, “The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” To be free is to have the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without restraint. This type of freedom can be offered in many places whether it be home, school, or work. Safety is the condition of being protected from or unlikely to because risk, danger, or injury. Safety should be seen as an advantage to have because it’s never truly guaranteed. Most people claim they are proud of the freedoms their nations offer, though many people manifest the willingness to give up these freedoms to secure personal safety.

Free People worked hard to become a well-known brand with a very noticeable image. They have created their marketing along with packaging detailing to insure that every aspect of their brand represents their clothing, shoe, and accessory products. Starting with the bases of well-designed and high quality clothing and then learning from that success to come up with what they wanted to be known for. They use their three main ideals, femininity, courage, and spirit to tie everything together. Their packaging, website, store fronts, interior designs, blog, social media sites all look strikingly similar and easy for the customer to recognize that all platforms are owned by the same

This is not an easy motion to debate on. Thus, this piece of writing will mention, discuss and bring forward the irrationality of choosing either freedom over equality or visa versa, without having a harmonious counterbalance between the two factors, implemented by a regulatory body. It will also include examples of countries which "total freedom" or "total equality" is in practice, where the search for total freedom led to total anarchy, or the pursuit for total equality curtailed the freedom in all areas of life. This short writing will be concluded with a personal view.

Thus it can be seen that governmental freedom has limitations just as it has privileges. Everyone is allowed freedom of speech, but if an individual were to yell fire in a public building they would be thrown in jail. Thus implying that freedom of speech has limitations. Despite this, governmental freedom is not the only form of freedom that exist. There lies an inherent freedom that allows citizens of these countries to revolt and overthrow their government at anytime they deem necessary because they have the freedom and knowledge to set up meetings and do

We often grow accustomed to the freedoms we have and as a result we seldom think of the difficulties the people before us had to overcome. In particular, an era which helped us establish some of our freedoms is the Progressive era. The Progressive era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States, and the Progressive reformers within the era made sure that future generations would benefit from the reforms they pursed for improved industrial conditions, living conditions, and politics. Before people of the Progressive era would see reforms they had to endure hazardous and straining industrial conditions. By way of illustration, workers during the time had zero safety conditions which led to a widespread

America is not universally free. This is easily proven with examples from a variety of subjects. For example, take LGBT rights. De jure, gay marriage is legal nationwide. But de facto, when one looks at the social reality dealt with by people who are not heterosexual, one finds that not everyone has the realistic ability to do so. Even on a de jure level, there are the “bathroom bills,” passed by North Carolina and looked at by many states, designed to limit transgender people’s ability to use the bathroom.

Free elections were held throughout Korea in 1947. The idea was for North Korea and South Korea to elect their own governments, but still be somewhat

When martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed to the world that he had a dream, people stopped and realized it didn’t have to be just a dream. People didn’t just listen to what this leader had to say, they actually heard him, and they understood him. Society today reflects the hundreds of peaceful, or sometimes not so peaceful, protests held by leaders of our past and present that were heard and understood. Without peaceful protest to laws, segregation may still be in America. Same sex marriage may not be legal. Women may not have as many rights as they do now. Freedom today in America, for example, is different than freedom fifty years ago. Freedom today includes all peoples instead of a select few. Resistance to laws brought this free society farther

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world” (Charters, 2014, Inspiring Quotes, pg. 1). America was founded on the backs of people who had the ability to stand up and fight for freedom and a new found government. There were many aspects that brought the development of American freedom as it exists today. However, American freedom is not what it used to be. “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves,”

According to Freedomhouse.org, from the 195 countries that had been assessed, forty six percent were rated free, twenty eight percent partly free, and twenty 6 percent not Free. 51 countries have an authoritarian government where the rights of the citizens has been diminished and left in the grasp of the government. All humans have natural rights that should not be squandered by the greediness and cruelty of those in charge. One of the most important questions asked is why some countries are democratic and others authoritarian. During the Cold War, the competition was between capitalism and communism. Since those days, Russia has decided to turn its economic system into a more capitalist structure. Their economy has begun to grow exponentially, which as a result expanded the middle class. The richer the citizens get, the more aware of their surroundings they became. Cuba is a world-renowned oppressive regime under the rule of the Castro family. They dismissed democratic ideology and the free market system, which had been proven successful in other countries. On the opposite side, countries such as Australia provide their citizens with the natural rights they are entitled to. They are a surging capitalist country that has been reaping off the benefits of the open market and private ownership. The main distinction between the two countries of Cuba and Australia is how capitalist the countries are. The degree of their capitalism has a ripple effect on the citizens, which over

There are several different types of governments around the world. Some are better than others and some are more or less strict than others. A democratic government and an authoritarian government are very different. The United States is democratic. It is because of this that we have so many freedoms and live the way we do. However, an authoritarian government is a lot more strict than the way we live.

Freedom , an important word in the United States of America. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, I am proud to be an American. In America we are free, we have the right to speak, there were tragedies and there might be more but you never know unless it happens. Freedom to me means that the government cannot tell you exactly what to do like a collective society, in a collective society the government runs every single thing, they give you the job that you will have for the rest of your life.

The Freedom Socialist Party emerged in 1966 when the political party split from the United States Socialist Workers Party. The party’s main focus is to abolish exploitation and domination based on race, sexual orientation, age, social class, etc. completely. The party also emphasizes women’s struggles, people of color, minorities, and the working class. Founded by Dick Fraser and Clara Fraser, they decided to split from the Socialist Workers Party due to political differences, which included Malcolm X, the Feminist Movement, and opportunism of in the anti-Vietnam war. Their political ideology is focused on the feminism movement, people of color, and the working class. According to the
