The Pros And Cons Of Freedom In 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.

In the conclusive part of The Two Faces of American Freedom, Aziz Rana utilizes arguments from the civil rights period to explain how projects of racial and social equality and inclusion employed during the last fifty years have not worked, as many people, especially blacks, poor whites and immigrant communities, have been excluded and considered subordinate groups. Rana also questions the imperial role obtained by the United States in the world since World War II. Rana starts off by describing the fact that recent projects of equality and inclusion have been centered on reducing the barriers that impede nonwhite people to attain elite corporate and governmental positions, doing very little to change the lives of the majority of the excluded population. These projects were not successful as they basically only resulted in changing the racial composition of wealthy groups. Focusing

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.

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.

While reading “Tools for Beginning” from Writing Dangerous Poetry by Michael C. Smith, I found that all the tools suggested within the text are extremely important. As the text states, not a single tool recommended has potential without building off each other. Freewriting can be used to get the writers imagination going, while Free association allows the writer to access possible subconscious thoughts adding depth. Meanwhile, word strings and clusters allow the user to build upon the previous associations found through the Free association technique. All these exercises are extremely useful when writing Poetry or any type of narrative whether fiction of nonfiction.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Freedom is a form of human right. A person should be able to act, speak, or think as one wants without any restraint. In the 17th centuries, the settlers treated American colonies as a source to improve European economy by implementing agriculture practices. There was a rising demand for labors to aid in the production of profitable crops such as tobacco. The owners of vast plantations decided to go for the labor force that was cheap and plentiful. Thus, this action had impacted many lives in many ways. This paper looks deeply into various ways of groups held captive or in servitude and experiences that these individuals have in common in order to satisfy the greed of people.

Who deserves freedom? There is a famous quote from our former president Abraham Lincoln, he voiced, “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” In other words, those who do not want freedom for others should not have it for themselves. Although he wanted freedom for everyone, to this day there are still problems in the United States and in other countries. Freedom is being able to live in a nation that grants its citizens personal liberties and personal morals without oppression by society and the government.

Freedom in America America. The home of the free. America’s the country where everyone is free and welcome to follow their dreams, whatever they may be (as long as it’s legal of course). Although America is techniqually a “free” country, there are ways that we aren’t free. In America, the people make it a very diverse country, from the coasts of California, to the bayou in Louisiana, and the highways of New York, America is a big country with multiple different people.

With no prompt to abide by and no rules to adhere to, one will sense a burden, this burden being that of freedom and of independence. Within such a burden comes a great deal of power, the power of choice. This may be the most fearful power known to man as it can create a monstrosity, or in the right sense, a splendid opportunity to better themselves and the people around them. WIth choice though comes responsibility, this means that one may not have their parents as someone to lean on, to rant to, or to argue with when aggravated. This is exactly what one may miss when confronted with this burden, the long nights of hearing their parents arguing over pointless problems, or the constant aggravation that results from the onslaught of high school, and even the dismaying arguments they've had in their past relationships. These past times will all become precious after have being exposed to this new power. One will miss the good, and even the bad. As a high school senior, I have not yet experienced these examples laid on this page, but I can only imagine what may toll me in my future. I remember back in the day, my father particularly would always educate me on listening to my superiors and following orders, now I would have never thought that there may not be any more structure or any more superiors to follow, and that I must be my own bearer of this burden of freedom and of power.

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