    Freedom is such a debated thing in politics today. From abroad in Afghanistan and Iraq where people are prosecuted for their religion, to North Korea where people are executed for their political beliefs.

With all these problems politicians glance over a true definition of freedom to help support their political views

    Freedom. Just that word brings tears to the eyes of many, especially the eyes of the oppressed. Freedom. Just that concept starts arguments, especially between people of different skin colors. By definition, freedom means: “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” People of all shades in the United States selfishly take this power for granted; however, not all of these people have always walked around freely or talked about this and that gaily.

    Freedom Lives Within Three people are walking down a New York City street. One is a Black man, one is an Asian woman, and the other person is a White man. One can easily picture the three people walking beside one another because the image is not bizarre or strange, rather; the image is completely normal. The vision is normal because these three American citizens have the freedom to walk where they choose, with whom they choose. The word freedom is often overlooked and taken for granted by those

    Freedoms: Freedoms have to be repeatedly won. Once you have lost your privileges that you had you can't get them back until the person who took it away ( mom or dad, or even grandma! ) gains your trust. This could take as much as doing the dishes, or cleaning potties! (eww!) Once you earn this trust you may have to re earn it depending on the circumstances. Like at home I would get grounded for crashing my car (and yes I already have a car). I would have to earn my parents trust by driving

Straight from the dictionary, freedom is “the power to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance and restraint.” (Merriam-Webster 1), but each person has their own personal definition of freedom.

    Freedom is a subjective, often times elusive, pursuit. America’s pursuit of freedom is no different. In an attempt to qualify this freedom, giving it weight, permanence and a face, American freedom is viewed through the lenses of three dimensions: “the meanings of freedom, the social conditions that make freedom possible and the boundaries of freedom that determine who is entitled to enjoy freedom and who is not” (Eric Foner, Give Me Liberty! (New York: W.W. Norton & Company), XXV). Every freedom
