What is the meaning of freedom??

Question

I am doing an essay on Freedom's Challenge and I thought about starting off with the meaning ofthose two words and combining them together.So any answers will be helpfor.

Answer 1

Freedom is personal. In the U.S. freedom is different for everyone. What freedom? Freedom of expression? Religion? Speech? Freedom is a birthright to you and me. Our forefathers were not free. They gave us freedom. They died so we could be free. Freedom allows us to be different and to have different opinions and views. Do you think a citizen of China would disagreee with the government openly? Did you know they hide in basements and back rooms to read a Bible. So tell me. WHAT IS FREEDOM? We need to continue to fight for the freedoms our ancestors did not know.

I am tired of our government debating what our rights should be. It is already outlined in the Declaration of Independence what our rights are. Charlton Heston is my hero. Did I have the freedom to make that statement? Of course I had that freedom. This is a freedom that is not known anywhere else in the world.

I AM PROUD TO LIVE IN AMERICA AND EXPERIENCE SUCH FREEDOM. Do you have the right to say I am wrong. Of course you do. THIS IS AMERICA AFTERALL.

Answer 2

The idea of freedom is inherent in the concept of rights.
If someone is free, they have the right to do something.
The challenge of freedom is when the rights of individuals conflict with each other.

If a slave has the right to be free (leave his servitude), it interferes with the property rights of his owner. The owner's freedom to tell the slave what to do is restricted. And this was a common argument in favor of slavery in the 19th century.

Other areas where freedoms commonly conflict are freedom of speech and the press. How does the people's right to know what the government is doing conflict with the government's need to keep certain information secret? There are several major legal cases before the Supreme Court on this very issue.

The rights of free speech during war time are also a major issue, and have been since the earliest days of the nation.

As to Lori: People in Europe, South America, India and Japan could all make statements identical to those you made. The United States is not unique in the freedom department. In fact, we are more repressive than most of Europe.

Answer 4

Well the dictionary meaning is" a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any, or to any undue, restraints and restrictions" . But when you break down the word the suffix -dōm . Ultimately from an Indo-European base meaning “to put, place,” and the prefix free- means not controlled or restricted. So freedom basically means in place where we are not controlled or restricted.
