My Experience Of Freedom

For the majority of my life, I had been shy, even though it didn’t seem like it most of the time, I was scared to death when I met new people. I know that it sounds extremely trivial, but I feel that when you first meet someone, you’re ultimately giving them their first impression of yourself and that is a lot of pressure. It seemed almost certain that I would lead a life of being a social wallflower until March 2017, more specifically, March 28th, 2017. This day was and still is important to me because I learned how to be confident, and through my experience, it taught me something that I will hold onto forever. Prior to this day, I was an extremely introverted person and rarely went out of my way to make friends. As a volunteer at day

The first time driving without a license was when I was 15 years old. It was a Wednesday around two o’clock in the afternoon. I was walking toward my aunt’s white Toyota truck. It was during the summer of 2010 and I was helping my father at his recycling company. Everyday,

When you ask people what freedom is they may respond that freedom is when you can do whatever you want to do at whatever time. Mostly this will be the response of kids and young adults. But this definition of freedom is incorrect. Freedom is when we are allowed to have power of right to act without violating other people's freedoms or rights. The most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom are strong government and constitution. A quote that can help out the claim comes from the Declaration of independence “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal: that they are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.

True freedom is not something that can be given. It is something that every single person must discover for themselves. If a person were set free, though still thought of themselves as a slave, they are a slave. America is a country that thrives on freedom. Though numerous people throughout the United States take this privilege for granted.

When United States was founded, it was signified as the most progressive and political movement in Western Civilization, which has continued to change and form from all the racial, ethnic, and religious diversities within society. Through the freedom that was first generated from the separation of the church and state to the manifestation of the Constitution on December 15, 1791, it has changed the course of history forever. The expression of the people’s legal rights was the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was adopted and later put into action in the 17th century. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...” This bill gave people a chance to express their boundless desires, simple freedoms and more notably religious actions in America. American Christianity has deteriorating moral standards and blindly accepts everything within society.

The Doctrine of ethos is a powerful tool used throughout time to influence a mass quantity of people about particular ideas, emotions, or social issues. These ideas can be expressed in a multitude of ways to convey a particular message to the observer. In this case, we are focusing on the effects of music as it applies to human beings and their ability to understand the message implied to them and the effect this may cause on them. I chose to focus my selection on a particular time frame, the civil rights movement, as this would be a crucial time where people were looking fro inspiration and morale to fight for a cause. My song choice is “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free” by Nina Simone and written by Billy Taylor ad Richard Caroll Lamb. I believe

The people of this great country should be incredibly thankful for the freedoms and opportunities we have been afforded because many individuals that we have had the privilege of knowing and many individuals that we haven’t had the honor of knowing have all sacrificed their lives to protect our freedoms. Due in part to this great sacrifice, America can and is considered to be a country with a great sense of equality, opportunity, and freedom. The United States of America as stated before is a country were individuals that reside in this country are able to do things they want to do and be who they want to be which in essence is one of the fundamental pillars that this great country was founded on.

Freedom. Few would argue that the best place to experience freedom is in the United States of America. But where is the fine line between freedom and responsibility? Should everyone have freedom to be irresponsible? The USA’s founding fathers formed a constitutional republic for a responsible people to decide upon what ought to be done. Voters elect representatives who then make policies that (hopefully) are in accordance with the United States Constitution. This important document has been amended many times to expand voting rights to citizens. What if it were made to restrict them?

The United States of America was founded on the principles of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"; all three of these still hold true today, however, "liberty," or freedom, has come to mean something entirely different to most of society. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, freedom is defined as "the power, rooted in reason and will,...to perform deliberate actions on one's own responsibility" (CCC, 1731). All humans, made in the image and likeness of God, intrinsically possess the ability to make choices. This freedom makes everyone responsible for his or her own choices, whether they be good or bad, and grants the greatest ability of all: the ability to love (Pennock 119). Freedom can be defined in terms of internal freedom or external freedom, with specific attention to what limits, or impedes, freedom. Since freedom is a central element of the American ideology, much of the culture, specifically media, often features concepts relating to it.

Freedom, a word our country was built on, the definition is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint but for me and my fellow Americans it means so much more. Freedom is present everywhere, the documents that shape our government are a strong example of freedom, freedom is the reason why we can appreciate a considerable amount of rights.

As An American I Have The Freedom Of Speech and along with The Freedom Of Speech, I’m entitled to my own opinion on everything. One Of the things I have an opinion on is what the American dream is; The American dream to me is freedom, fun, and success. Even though everyone does not think the same as me we all have the same, but different view of what the American dream is. It all depends on who you are, where you've come from, and where you've been in your life; But no matter what its all the same. The American Dream is Freedom,Fun, and Success.

As we all know, freedom is a very meaningful word, and it has a variety expressions and definitions. I can define the word freedom as liberty, independence, acting spontaneously, expressing yourself with no fears, being positive and making your own choices. All people in the entire world like to be free with no barrier or any kind of obstacles, emotionally and physically. Human beings deserve to be free and live their life with no struggles. The most moment I felt entirely free is when I went back home to my country, Morocco, to visit my family after a period living in the U.S.

“Ask not what what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

According to the Scott, Foresman Advanced Dictionary, freedom means having the power to do, say, or think as one pleases. To me, freedom means being able to show emotion in public. With freedom, I can feel safe, confident and secure in my country. To me, freedom also means having a voice and letting it be heard. With freedom, I get to make my own decisions and choices. I am lucky as an American citizen to have freedom and rights, but some countries aren’t as lucky as we are. Some are still stuck under dictatorships.

Today we accept that freedom is a basic right human right but what exactly is freedom. 1On one hand, there is physical freedom. People who are not imprisoned or enslaved are free. On the other hand, there is freedom as a the right to act, speak or think what you want. People cannot reach their full potential if they are not free in both senses of the word.
