The Importance Of Freedom In America

Freedom forms the essential basis for prosperity. Freedom allows us to innovate, develop, and expand into horizons previously believed to be impossible. A free society is the crucial foundation on which America has been able to flourish, and the foundations underlying this society are vital to its continued success. The economic, political, and moral elements of a free society are all equal in importance, and, together, they form the basis on which we, as the American people, are able to thrive.

“The sheer volume of historical work on slavery has become so cast that keeping up with it is a task of herculean proportions even for experts in the field. For everyone else, it is simply impossible.” The outcome is a society which misrepresents race relations. We do not live in a post racial society, in fact, how much of a society do we even truly live in? Whiteness is the sensation of those colours perceived by the human eyes as being white, blackness is the object of economic disadvantage, restricted opportunities, and community disorganization, consolidating the framework of black culture as black rootlessness, homelessness and namelessness. As generic terms, both are marked by social construction to legitimize the color line, hence blowing the cosmic proportion of the American ideals of ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ and celebrating instead the idiom of ‘separate but equal’. The aim of this paper then is to explore how Americans negotiate between ‘blackness’ and ‘whiteness’. The texts offered throughout this course have focused on the injustices done to Blacks throughout United States History, by understanding them together they highlight the atrocities still intact today.

Freedom has been discussed for a while now and yet no one can agree it exists. The conflict over the meaning of freedom continues to exist from the civil war, throughout the sixties. The Civil War was fought over the question of what freedom means in America, for us in this present date to have freedom is being able to enter any public place whenever you want without being told you cannot enter, also not having to worry if you are going to be arrested if you enter the wrong restroom or don’t give up your seat to a white person. For more than a century African Americans demanded and fought for freedom; progressive freedom. African American wanted equality that gave them voting rights, civil rights, education and public health. Some of the most

Since the beginning of its inception, the United States of America has been known to be a nation of freedom. However, whether this freedom has been for all its citizens has been left up to debate. While many people declare that many social factors such as sex, race, and religion have no imposement on liberty, there is much evidence to show liberty has always been and still is prejudice. Because of the way they are, people who decide the innocence of a person of a minority will likely have many judgements and assumptions based on the individual’s race as well as view someone within the same demographic as them as more trustworthy. Consequently, America does not guarantee liberty to all its citizens.

Society exists in two realms: public and private.  Thousands of years ago, the public realm was clearly defined as the political arena, where men interacted one with another, and the private realm dwelled among the work and labor of man.  The progression from ancient Greece to modern day society has blurred the defining line between the two due to the increasing influence of money.

The “freedom” we have in the United States, isn’t complete, just like everything else, it’s limited. We don’t have forced labor, yet we have minimal wages, which is nearly the same. We are not forced to do certain things, yet we are forced to do others, like pay taxes, for example. The American dream everyone hopes for, is just that, a dream, because the U.S government does anything to impede you from reaching it. They take your money away when they barely give you any. People make merchandise higher when the wages in the area rise. America is greedy for money. Because America gives us crumbs of freedom, we fool ourselves, believing that we are full of freedom.

Freedom has no universal definition; freedom is subjective by nature it means something different to everyone. For some freedom is physical such as wanting to free themselves from confinement. Physical freedom is most often sought by individuals seeking liberation from a controlling system such as prison or enslavement. This type of freedom is generally accepted as having the ability to move, eat, and live where you see fit without others permission. Physical freedom is the most simple and easiest type of freedom to grant; however, it is also often taken for granted especially in western societies. Being able to move from state to state or even country to country as seen in EU is a rarity in most of the world. This is especially true for women who in countries such as Saudi Arabia who “could not travel abroad without the approval of their male guardian.”(Amnesty

Picture a world where everyone is protected no matter the location where they live or their ethnicity. Sounds like a utopia doesn’t it? Imagine this same world, but the only reason for the safety is from a person dictating every part of their life, this idea of freedom has disappeared from the minds of people. People may disagree and say that they’d relinquish their freedom to know that they are safe, but that is only undermining everything their forefathers fought and died for.

Freedom is such a powerful subject too talk about. All you here in the news is the problems in our country. We all take for granted the freedom we have. In far away country. Children want what we have so bad.

One of the best things about America is the freedom we are allowed to have. Of all of our rights, our most important three are life, liberty, and property. John Locke, a philosopher from England said,” This law of nature requires that no one should harm another in his natural rights to life, liberty, and property. He is saying that we have the right to life, a right to liberty, which means we have our own say in things. We also have the right to property, which means we can own a house, a car, and anything our heart desires. These are only a sliver of the rights we have as an American citizen.

America has been shaped in many different ways and continues be shaped daily. America is constantly changing and facing new challenges. However, authors of By the People have four ideas liberty, self-rule, limited government, and equality that they believe are the leading factors in how America is shaped. These ideas help elaborate on what makes America a strong and withstanding country. These ideas are the base of America’s politics and what makes us a unique country. These four ideas are constantly being debated between politicians on what the different meanings are.

“The anchor in our world today is freedom, holding us steady in times of change, a symbol of hope to all world.” President George H. W. Bush once proclaimed, to remind us that even when the world around us is changing the only thing that will never disappear is our freedom. According to a dictionary, freedom is the power to act, speak, or think without restraint, but freedom is truly much more than that. Freedom is what allows each and everyone of us to be unique, and defines what the Unites States is all about. Freedom may come with a price, but it allows us to receive an education.

Austin—a city renowned for its strives towards liberation—glimmers as a hub of cultural vibrancy in Texas. This city excludes itself from the conservative frame of mind that is deeply embedded within Texan culture, and its people celebrate the freedom to explore their human identity through self-expression. The live music here charms listeners, drawing them out to bars, clubs, backyards, garages, churches, and concert halls, filling the air with harmonies that comprise the spirit of Austin. Performers use themselves as instruments to highlight aspects of the human condition, inciting a sense a unity between the viewers and the performer. Assemblages of visual artists and artisans attempt to make sense of their world through their work. As

Freedom, a seven letter word that has so many meanings behind it, but my generation overlooks that sometimes and does not see the gift America has given to us. If I did not have equality, I could not be myself and live my life. The gift America has given to my generation is having the choice to sculpt your future and equality for everyone.

of us fail to cherish and value our granted freedom. Many of us do not
