The Pros And Cons Of Freedom In America

Flags burning under raining bombs, gunshots echoing through a field of raining terror, while hiding underground for the day where humanity can roam free again; situations as so aren’t exactly what people imagine when thinking about one’s future. Every death was honored by those who lived; lives lost during wars of any kind are unlike lives lost in our country today, not for the value of those once living are greater than another, but from how much those lives mean to this day. Establishment and preservation of freedom wasn’t easy and will never be easy; many people served until their last breath, for the freedoms of our lives today. That is why we must continue to grasp for freedom, and to establish and preserve our freedom most effectively we must have the heart to be free, and have united dedication to freedom itself.

When people enter a place like the airport, they are not looking to be safe and sound. After 9/11 no one was safe. If you went on a plane you weren’t thought of as another person, you were thought of as someone who could potentially hijack the plane and perform a horrific tragedy. That’s why the TSA was created because no one ever wants to have that petrifying fear again. We all hate having to go through the checks but if we didn’t, there could be another attack exactly like 9/11. One of my dad’s friends once told me of a story where he went to the 1998 Major League World Series when it was at Qualcomm for free before all the security checks were put in. He said that he “walked through security like [he] owned the place and [he] told security that [his] they’re were with [him] and got five friends in by saying that.” Security was so lackadaisical that anybody could get through with any weapon. 9/11 was a wakeup call that freedom isn’t everything and the people need protection. All the risks in the world cannot be taken away, but with better safekeeping, at least it can be a safer

Freedom is how we are living, it’s how we stand, and it’s how we are free to speak out. In my opinion freedom means the power to act, speak, live, and think as we want without any harm or limit from somebody. Everyday citizens are working and doing hard labor to try and keep America civilized. I highly respect people who work and make an effort to maintain our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. America is Where everybody wants to go and is why people leave their hometown because of freedom. America is supposedly the land of the free. I feel though as if our nation is falling apart. As stated by John F. Kennedy, “America is filled with both crisis and opportunity.” This meaning you can make your “life experience” in America good or bad but there’s always hope. America can fall apart with terrorist attacks or events like 9/11 but these events is how we make allies and how the citizens of America work together as a team no matter your race, gender, experience, or status there is a job to be completed and that is the main reason how America gets stronger.

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.

decided to overhaul their security protocols and specifically upgrade the security involving airports and airplanes. The upgrade in security of airports, although in some cases helpful, has caused an unnecessary amount of problems for American civilians due to the invasive changes made by the American government. Not only is it harder to get through security in America, but many of the American’s privacies have been taken away by the government in the name of safety as David Lyon says in his article on security changes in airports: “after 9/11, various policies and even laws concerning matters such as privacy and confidentiality have been overridden by the concern with ‘national security’”(405). Under the claim of safety, American and foreign civilians’ rights and privacy have been abused and taken away, leading to many people being overall upset and angry with the

America is the universal symbol of freedom. But is it really free? Does the history of the United States stay true to the ideas of our forefathers? Or has the definition been altered to fit American policies? Has freedom defined America? Or has America defined freedom? I believe America was at first defined by freedom, then after time, America defined freedom, altering the definition to fit the niche it fits in, but still keeping key components so it still seems to be staying true to the ideas of America’s founding fathers.

Throughout the history of the world, people always rebelled to push what they believed is right so man can have freedom. Some of the historical events that showed a push for more freedom are The Civil Rights Movement, the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. What is freedom? Well freedom in American context is that people from all over the world can have natural rights that were given to them from foundation of the world from Heavenly Father. The people’s natural rights allow them to practice religion and agency any way or form he or she pleases to practice. Before Americans had the freedom practice natural rights, they had to fight to obtain freedom. Long before the Revolutionary War started, there were many events, public figures and beliefs that led the people of thirteen colonies to fight back against Great Britain to create the foundation of the United States. Even though there are many ideas, events and people who helped found America, two historical figures Thomas Paine and George Washington gave fuel for the colonist to rebel against the British. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson fueled the colonist by leading them, motivating them and providing information why the colonist should rebel. Thus the historical figures paved the way for America.

Since the founding of the United States, European settlers and Native Americans have had numerous disputes regarding Indian Territory. The European settlers and the Native Americas fought over land allotments, assimilation processes and basic human rights. However, Native Americans were not the only individuals to feel the effects of systemic racism. The Cherokee people who owned former slaves of African descent were called “freedmen.” Freedmen individuals felt the damages of systemic racism from the Native Americans and European settlers during the 1800s. Native Americans like the Europeans, also owned slaves during the Civil War. The Freedmen Controversy was and continues to be a volatile issue because the Cherokee Nation established certain practices, laws, and other tribal rights, which questions the membership status of the freedmen. The Cherokee Nation implemented multiple strategies to make this issue controversial for people of African descent and others as well.

The power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. A word created by man to escape the bonds of tyranny to express the idea of what it means to persist one's own ambitions. Freedom. Freedom is not the absence of confinement but the will to achieve freedom when imprisoned. After carefully concluding the reading done over this semester one is able to clearly understand the confinement these early Americans felt and their decision to achieve a form of freedom. Freedom has always existed but it is the history of this nation that will define what actions freedom takes.

Everyone has their own version of what the definition of freedom is here in the United States but the basic definition it is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Under the circumstances of following the laws. As time has gone on it has helped freedom come along way with all the different eras and the ups and the downs that occurred that has shaped us to that “American Dream” of freedom we have today. There are many events that helped shape Americans freedom today and these are just some of the events that really helped push the rights we have today, woman starting to get jobs, slaves getting freed, Native Americans sharing land, segregation, equal rights to all and passing the law for gay marriage.

Life in America after 9/11/01 was a hard time for America, many families and friends were grieving over their lost loved ones. But while all of this was happening government and important people were creating programs like the TSA.The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created to create a safer flight and safer planes so tragedies like the recent terrorist attack America went through does not happen again. Some changes they made for safer flights are the cockpit doors that pilots are controlling the plane is was turned bullet proof and stays locked at all times during the duration of the flight. Also, in the airport you must put baggage through the technology created to detect weapons or bombs that could be in anybody's luggage. Many requirement must be met at airports after 9/11, for example a specific ID is required; the ID name must math the name printed on the ticket of that person. This is probably in effect because they wouldn't want anyone on the plane that is not supposed to be there. Also, whatever thy person has on them like baggage and carry on that a person plans to bring into the plane must be checked and screened. People can fit many things into their bags so this rule is there because they would want any weapons on the plane that would lead to other people getting hurt. Lastly, there is technology that scans someone's body to check for any weapons to anything they would not like to have on the plane, but if

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

Freedom is the singular concept that the United States has embraced as a nation since July 4, 1776. The United States would not have the freedom that its citizens have today without the sacrifice of the thousands of lives that have died, and the sacrifice of the millions that fight every single day to keep our country safe and independent. A military force, backed by over 1.4 million people, is defending a nation, in which over 310 million people reside.

Freedom is something that everybody wants, it has been fought for by many countries for many years. When I think about freedom I think of all the things that we have the ability to do that other countries or other societies don’t have. From wing able to voice our opinion to being able to go see a movie like dead pool or other movies like that, which, in many countries seeing it wouldn't even be an option. Freedom is in everything, we live and breathe freedom.

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