Freedom has many applications, all of which can be considered equally important. Many countries are poor, their citizens restricted from the very privileges that we take for granted. In some cases, American prisoners have more freedom than those other countries. Alas, we are beginning to lose our rights. For example, Net Neutrality is something that we are beginning to lose, among other things. Our rights make us free; they separate us from countries such as those in the Middle East. Our democracy
War, Slavery, Sexism, and Lack of freedom, these were the issues America has faced that put our country through an uproar.

Freedom and un-freedom can be seen in a variety of ways through North America between the 1400s and 1776. Some colonies balanced having un-freedoms, such as having a non-democratically run government with allowing more liberties to their colonists. However, in most cases the un-freedoms that related to the Atlantic world was slavery. The act of freedom and slavery were so intertwined that many began to equate the two. In New Amsterdam, there was no democratically governed body of government, neither

However, I will prove why zoos today are used for entertainment and how animals suffer both physically and mentally from the lack of freedom captivity imposes. One perspective on zoos is that they are of benefit to both humans and animals. Zoo advocates argue that animals have a higher quality of life in captivity due to the fact that they do not have to deal with the stress of predators

The complete and utter lack of freedom in 1984 by George Orwell is a major theme which the entire plot revolves around. Not only is this the key problem the main character Winston faces, but the entire society in which this book is set is also doomed to slavery under the Party. One of the Party’s slogans,“Freedom is Slavery” (Orwell, 14), shows the backwards viewpoint of freedom that the people believe in.

In other places, such as the United States, people enjoy a much more open society when it comes to freedom of expression.
