Why Do We Fight To Be Free

When America fought in both World War I and World War II, the Revolutionary War, and many more, we were fighting for the freedom of others or the freedom of ourselves. For example, America fought for the freedom of the Jews, the slaves, and any others. Even though those wars were fought many years ago, we still should fight for the freedom of others and the freedom of ourselves.

Why do Americans fight for freedom? Isn't it a eternal vain war? Perhaps we are disheartened in the insufficiency of others freedom, or are we so fearful that we fight just to defend ourselves. I feel it is our tenacity that we get through the horrendous wars and less significant battles. Freedom is the power to choose and live with our choices. That is why it is so

So many courageous people fought for some kind of freedom. For example, in 1775, colonists during the American Revolution fought for their independence from Great Britain, and in 1865, slaves had to fight for their freedom too. These freedoms could be something as simple as being able to go to a friend's house, or it could be as serious as same-sex marriage. No matter how big or small the issue is, freedom must be repeatedly won by each generation.

In the land of the free, when you believe in something you fight for it. America would not have prospered if

Our world today is filled with unnecessary oppression. Slavery is one common form of human oppression, but there are numerous other forms as well. War, death, hunger, and sadness caused the elders in the society of The Giver to force each citizen to live extremely structured, controlled lives. That structure and control effected each person’s ability to live unique, private, and free lives. The elders in The Giver wanted all the citizens in the community to be undifferentiated for their own safety, so they greatly censored all citizens. Lack of freedom to pursue individual happiness is, indeed, a form of oppression not only faced by fictional book characters, but also by twenty-first century Americans. American society is changing so rapidly that we as independent Americans must decide whether safety, or freedom, is more important.

During the Revolutionary War many Americans gave their property, their families, and their lives in exchange for freedom. Would you be willing to die so that someone else could be free? Would you give up all your precious and beloved possessions to a cause that seems hopeless and impossible? Is freedom really worth what it costs to obtain? Thomas Paine once said "those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." So in other words men should fight if they wish to be free.

Our Founding Fathers took part in the fight for our independence and the overall creation of the United States of America. They believed in our nation and the capabilities it held for its future inhabitants. However, in the world we live in today, these Founding Fathers would not be able to recognize the America they fought to unify.

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.

Firstly, let me tell you that, by defending our Independence, I am not neglecting my roots or my ancestors. In fact, I believe that by fighting for my freedom I am honoring our ancestors, for they fought for their freedom as well.

it hurts me to think that so many veterans who fight for our freedom and put their lives on the line are homeless when they return home. they give up everything for their country but yet their country gives them nothing in return. they are easily given combat boots and dog tags while leaving but coming back they get a street corner and some cardboard boxes. they gave us our freedom so why aren't we giving them shelter, respect, and love?

F. M. Cornford, in 1922, described propaganda as "that branch of the art which consists in very nearly deceiving your friends without quite deceiving your enemies. “The Triumph of the Will”, a nazi propaganda movie by Leni Riefenstahal was a better piece of propaganda film then the American propaganda film “Why We Fight” for a few reasons. The first being that Why We Fight indulge the viewer what they should be feeling and thinking about the war with the use of fear tactics and manipulated facts about the Axis power. However, in contrast the Triumph of the Will shape the viewer in such a way that the viewer was made to think that they themselves were coming up with their own conclusions. One form of confusion the Triumph of the Will uses is

In history, the constant struggle has been to have freedom in some form, may it be in reference to religion, slavery, or independence. The only problem with this struggle is that it seems to keep showing it’s ugly head everywhere we look at each generation that appears. So, is freedom a constant or is there always going to be controversy over something that someone will want freedom for ? I mean with each generation that appears on this earth we have some new kind of eruption of people wanting freedom over whatever the reason may be that they want freedom for! My question is what is the sole purpose for having freedom if you are constantly having to find more to fight for ?

An Ode To America by Cornel Nistorescu poses a very interesting question. Nistorescu wonders what it is that unites Americans. In the end, he decides that it is their freedom. I agree. Americans have fought for freedom over and over again in the American Revolution and in the Civil War.

As a child in the United States you are given the idea that freedom is what we fight for. This is the backdrop given to us all, but the reality behind it just gets a whole lot bigger. The film “Why we Fight” by Eugene Jarecki effectively incorporates the opinions of civilians, government officials, media, and the others on the other side of the mirror including videos of Middle East debacles while also adding in important facts on the military-industrial complex. Jarecki included video clips of the responses given when civilians were asked why we fight. Many of the younger ones had the idea that the United States fights for freedom and liberty, but as the age number increased the confidence in their responses decreased.

Generation after generation, children have taken advantage of the freedom their previous generations have earned for them. The amount of labor that older generations did for racial freedom is so grand that the younger generations do not deserve it all. Rather, newer generations must be able to show they are capable of upholding their rights. Kids these days look back and scoff at how much work their predecessors did for every bit of freedom they got, and they only preoccupy themselves with mindless activities. That is why I believe that each generation should earn its racial freedom, to show its worthiness to the world. With this new idea in play surely, we can make America great again.
