I’m doing an english research paper on freedom in society and i wanted another somewhat contemporary example of this. One example of this that i’m using is the Patriots in the Metal Gear Solid series, but i wanted another example to make my report stronger.

Contemporary conservatism, and more to the point, its pundits, upholds that just about any government regulation is somehow an affront to freedom.

Really though, when our nation was founded, no one could have predicted the scope, wealth, and power corporations would gain in America.

An individual, rarely, has the ability or wealth, to stand on principle against a corporation.

Is it not essential for the people, through acts by Congress, to seek justice, and planning for the greater good, through regulation?

What do you think?

Free to travel, free to pick the people in our lives…We usuallythink of Freedom as a very positive trait, but according to the existentialists it is a negative as it is a positive. It is a dreadful freedom, imposing a heavy burden of responsibility on us??Does Freedom cause deep anxiety in us???Do we shape our essence in freedom? Is freedom our essence?

What is the difference between “freedom from…” and “freedom to…”?

As in: “We were given freedom from oppression” and “They weren’t bestowed with the freedom to express themselves.”

I think I came across this while reading “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood. It’s a novel about life in a false-utopian dictatorship-like society. Actually, more like a totalitarian society. It’s about how every person in society has a role such as “the handmaid”, “the wife”, “the Marthas”, “the Commander”, “the Econowives” etc. The main character, Offred eventually learns of the dystopia in the society she lives in and secretly plans a revolution. It’s a pretty good book really.

I am thinking about buying a Thermador freedom collection 30″ refrigerator + 18″ freezer. Since the history of this product is not very long, I couldn’t find much data about the reliability of it. Could someone who own one of this refrigerator please tell me whether there is any maintainance issue with it? I really like the look of it, but just don’t want to buy something that’ll break down often or soon. Thanks a bunch!

We are not ourselves, so how can wed allow others to be themselves If you are not free you will not allow freedom to anybody else. If you are repressed you will not allow expression to others. If somebody is free and you yourself are not free, you will feel very depressed by the comparison. That’s how repression has been perpetuated down the ages. Parents were repressed by their parents; they have repressed their children, and these will repress their children.

To jump out of this chain is to jump out of the world. Then you are no more conditioned by anybody, and then you never condition anybody. Then you live in freedom and you impart freedom. But you can give only that which you have. Being you have not – how can you allow others? You are constantly finding ways and means to destroy the freedom of the other, to dominate, posses, to command, to force obedience. You are not at ease; you have not yet come home.

I have no discipline to teach to you because I have trusted utter freedom. And I know that if you can taste even a little bit of it, your whole life will be transfigured. People come and they say, “Give us some discipline, give us clear cut rules – what we should do and what we should not do. Why can’t you put it in a few commandments, like the Ten Commandments? Then it will be easy for us to follow and we will not be confused. Why do you confuse us?

I am not confusing you; I am simply giving you total freedom. Freedom is confusing because you have to decide every moment. I am not going to decide for you. Who I am to decide for you? You want somebody to take the whole responsibility. That’s what you ask: clear cut rules so that you need not be responsible. Whatsoever happens you can look in the book of commandments and follow the book. By and by you can memorize the book and then you can function through memory. Then there is no need to function through your centre.

If you really want to give freedom to others, you will have to begin at home. Everything begins at home. Be free, become a being; enjoy this tremendous freedom that life gives to you. Don’t follow any rules. Just follow one thing: your awareness decide fresh each moment what is to be free and how beautiful it is to be free. Be free and you will be able to allow more freedom. They work together…

A recent study shows that flies have some bizzare want to be free. If they want freedom, then do they have emotions, or is freedom just natural and supported in the human society by emotions?
