Is America Really Free

The truth is America isn't really free for everyone, there are many things to hold people back. Like Gay rights, Racial tensions, and Immigration. In This essay i will tell you why America (the land of the free) isn't free or fair for many people.

America has been talked about as the land of freedom, opportunity and a promise of better life for everyone. But has it always been all of that? the people who came to America in search of better living circumstances, did they find what they were looking for, or were they disappointed, forgotten and overlooked left to take care of themselves how they could. People who migrated over from Europe, came in large numbers once word of prosperity and better life reached their countries seeking better life and new beginnings. The African Americans who used to be slaves before but were now freedman, did they have the same rights, power and freedom as those who used to own them or even the somewhat decent life of the European immigrants? What about the people who came from China, Japan? They left their homeland too, and came to America to improve the lives of their children, but did they find what they were looking for or were they disappointed?

Today’s America is clearly, completely, different then it was in the 1900’s. The people have more freedom than ever. There are still circumstances where the people are restricted. There is still racism “ignorance”, homophobia, and sexism. Modern day slavery, cults, and war are still practiced and active today. America has never been truly free. America should practice what it preaches which is “The land of the Free”. The America that the rest of the world sees and wants to be part of. “The Land of The free” is the reason people come to America. To escape the restrictions. It’s been defined that the American Dream is “the ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination,

Many people of the United States to be the greatest country there ever was, and ever will be. Americans claim their country the best, and reign unfailingly with shouts of freedom and liberty and religious tolerance who fight for their rights, even if it took away those of minority. The citizens believe their country to be unfathomably free, but is it really truly as they see? Is America really as free as we claim, is our beloved country the greatest nation out of all 194?

It is becoming a well-known fact that the United States is the world leader, not in education, but in the number of incarcerated persons. The United States of America claims to be the “land of the free and the home of the brave,” but more and more each day, the United States is becoming the “land of the jailed and the home of the criminal.” This epidemic of incarcerated persons is the result of one of the following things: 1. America is too much in love with the idea of segregating the good people and the bad people or 2. America has put too many people in jail and some of them could be released.

America has fought for are freedom so that we are free from danger from other

What makes America so great? Most people would say it's because of our freedom. It

Every day, nearly one-third of U.S. children ages four to nineteen eat from a fast food restaurant this adds on about six extra pounds per child every year and increases their risk of obesity (Fast Food). In my research I learned a lot about the health risks that come with eating fast food. Fast food causes childhood obesity rates in America to increase because of its convenience, ingredients, and lack of telling people what is in the food.

In the essay, “Work Rules” by William Grieder he talks about what it is like to be an American worker in our society. He poses a question, “are Americans really free?” (Greider) This is a tough question to answer, what is our definition of free and how is freedom accomplished? Do we have more freedoms than the older generations? What roads have been paved for us and what disadvantages are we facing now? Grieder’s bottom line in this article was that communication is key for a successful business, is that accurate? These are all questions that after reading “Work Rules” I wanted to know more about, I investigated my own family’s history, and in doing so made some revelations of my own.

Freedom- The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. In America we are all free, but not exactly because some are born into a harder life of less freedom. While some people say that others can't be born gay, it is not that way because of hatred, wants, and what you're taught.

As Americans, many believe that freedom is a given. It’s been a long time since freedom wasn’t given to all equally Though many government documents say that we have freedom, what is freedom exactly? The dictionary definition of freedom is; the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. I do believe that freedom is never given; it must be demanded, everyone deserves to be given freedom.

What freedom means to me is everything. I mean there really is no other way for me to explain it. If it were

Freedom is often viewed by having the right to be independent or to be “free from servitude, constraint, inhibition, and liberty” (Oxford Dictionary). The word freedom derived from a “Germanic” culture. Freedom has a different meaning to different people; for example kids, adults and different races. Socially, politically, and religiously the word freedom fits into different categories with different meanings depending on who thinks about the word. Freedom has a wide range of definitions that should be specifically stated in one that addresses the public in one way so everyone knows the same definition and does not cause confusion.

To me the term “freedom” means being free to live your life in whatever way you wish. When I say this, I don’t mean when a high school kid finally moves out for college and doesn’t have to report to their parents every time they leave their dorm room. I mean how we are able to live a free life here in the United States of America. When we take a step back and look at all the different countries who are in poverty we need to realize how truly blessed we are. There are many different countries out there where the citizens don’t live a life of “freedom”. My definition of freedom could be very different than someone else’s definition of freedom. Freedom is a term that can have a different meaning for each individual sitting down at a table.

What do most people imagine when they hear the word freedom? A teen may pray to turn 18 and move out. A chinchilla may feel free when let out of its cage. Some people may believe in America; the land of the free and the home of the brave. Or many may use a dictionary definition which is the power to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. But in this case freedom is not judging others, but accepting others.
