Freedom

Leah asked:


Can you give me some examples of people anywhere in the world that are fighting for freedom now? Wars and such? Something similar to American colonists fighting for independence from Britain? Please elaborate. Thank you.

Are the more freedom most countries beneficial to them? What types of freedoms do you suggest the U.S. should have that other countries have?
Yes it seems that everday we have less and less freedom ever since the bush adminstration came in we have so called “FREE SPEECH ZONES”
…..isn’t all of America a free speech zone?

The Invisible Hand/Illuminati asked:


Recently there was a ruling from the high court in the USA that would allow corporations unlimited freedom at contributing to a political candidate. I have read many angry citizens and few individuals in support of the high court’s ruling.

What is you opinion about the high court allowing companies unlimited freedom to contribute as much as they want to a political candidate?

Thank you for your time and answers.

Payton asked:


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.

alphabetsoup2 asked:


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?

Rita asked:


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?

? ? ? ? asked:


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.
