Four Freedoms

This means that being an American during this period was hard and individuals that were considered poor were not given all these rights as I stated before. These rights were only available to individuals that own land or have a business or have money. In order for individuals to have a status they needed to have

America is known both conventionally and historically as 'the land of the free'... but is that really the case? In his article titled Freedom and Money, G. A. Cohen addresses this question through the relationship between freedom and money, or more specifically the lack thereof: poverty. As Cohen shows, experts all along the political spectrum agree that the poor are entitled to far less opportunities than their wealthier counterparts. The controversy with the subject thus lies, instead, in the ambiguity of the term "freedom" and what it implies, as well as to what exactly it's beneficiaries are permitted. The political left believes that because the impoverished are financially unable to exercise many of their freedoms, their economic status

America: “The land of the free, and the home of the brave” (Key 7-8). When our forefathers overcame the colonial reign of the British Empire, they formed the United States of America based on the premise of enlightened ideals promoting life, ownership of land, and liberty. But after the revolution, the country’s problems were far from solved. The country’s post-revolution issues sparked a Civil War, which was followed by a reconstruction. In some ways, the Civil War and Reconstruction helped the United States accomplish its original goals, but in many ways, that was not the case.

During the Gilded Age, growing disparities between the rich industrialists, financiers, and employers of the era and poorer workers contributed towards a shift in people’s opinions and beliefs about freedom. The elite and the urban poor came to have contrasting views on what freedom meant and what social conditions and governmental roles promote and protect the liberties of citizens.

The Fourth Amendment allows U.S. citizen to feel secure. And that security is not going to change because the fourth amendment is “set in stone” (salon.com, 2013). Obama did speak on the security of phone calls and he said the government looks at the duration phone calls and their numbers. However, he did go on to say “This program, by the way, is fully overseen not just by Congress, but by the FISA Court, a court specially put together to evaluate classified programs to make sure that the executive branch, or government generally, is not abusing them and that they’re — it’s being out consistent with the Constitution and rule of law” (www.fednews.com). The Judicial Oversight on the information that the government receives allows citizens to

The Fourth Amendment reads: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated and no Warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized” (Smentkowski, 2014). The Fourth Amendment clearly states that an individual has the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, but what constitutes a search? The Bill of Rights was created due to the founders and the authors of the Constitution wanting to protect and preserve the rights of the citizens. The Fourth Amendment

Thomas Paine, a revolutionary, intellectual, and supporter of American independence from England published a book titled, “Rights of Man” which deals with the government shielding the natural rights of its people. Initially, the book captures the diverse aspect of this nation, but it fails to reveal the struggles that arise to preserve and adapt to such a society. Paine expresses his optimism towards the supposed perfection of American society, as one “made up...of people from different nations,” with certain expectations. Additionally, the time gap between “Rights of Man” and modern America cannot be neglected. Paine wrote during an era in which “constructing a government on the principles of society and the rights of man” was the essential objective of the country. However, modern-day America experiences opposite ideals and Paine’s theory no longer remains true because of the educational gap between the rich and poor, terrorism, and racial profiling.

Schools and Cars: School authorities require not get a warrant before seeking an understudy who is under their power; rather, a pursuit of an understudy require just be sensible under all the circumstances.

Now a day we bypass valuable freedom opportunities in everyday life and we see them as nothing. For example, being able to even walk in your backyard in the evening, or taking your own kids to school, matter of fact even the privilege to attend school, calling your family members in no time, being able to relax, have an easy day and working at a place of your liking. All these things are part of our freedom that we normally don’t think about or how these things would greatly impact our life. These were small things that greatly impacted a slave’s life in the 1930s, not being able to choose their own life path, always being the use of everybody else, never having the opportunity to take a deep breath of fresh air. This was my life as a slave

Covert’s article is an analysis of a tweet made by the current American Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, who in the tweet, stated that freedom is “the ability to buy what you want to fit what you need”. His tweet is deemed curious because Ryan puts forward a conception of American liberty

President Obama starts off his speech with a vocal view of the proposal to raise the minimum wage while also detailing its prevalence. He begins with displays of pathos, stating how he has been calling on Congress to “reward the hard work of millions of Americans” who are rife with financial befalls. This indicates that he is neither ignorant of the lower social classes nor playing with politics. President Obama shows that he means what he says and will attempt to pursue such ambitions, even if his attempts are ultimately in vain. He does this whilst asserting how popular the bill is among “three in four Americans”. This

The price of freedom should be borne by all, rich or poor. I learned this first hand as a United States Army Recruiter and a volunteer soldier who fought in two wars representing my country. As a military recruiter from 1971 to 1991, I was tasked with soliciting men and women who were high school graduates to enlist into the United States Army. Often times I would call a home to speak to a graduate about joining the army, and a mother would answer; I would tell her the purpose of my call, and often times her answer would be “not my son”! I would often replay, “well mam, if not your son, then whose son”! I very seldom got an answer but I often wondered if I could read her mind, would she be thinking about whether I should be contacting

The poem Acceptance Speech by Lynn Powell is about a housewife who feels undervalued by her family and by society. The title of the poem suggests that the character has received an award for achieving something brilliant, but in fact she is being sarcastic and conducting an imaginary award ceremony for herself in her kitchen, since no one else is willing to appreciate her hard work. The poet uses irony and personification of kitchen utensils and ingredients to add humour to the play. She uses the In this poem, the character deals with her desire to be appreciated by propelling herself into an imaginary scenario in her kitchen where she is in the spotlight and humorously personifies ingredients in food who are just as under appreciated as
