Martin Luther King And The Definition Of Freedom

Freedom can have many meetings to many people. Freedom to some may mean to be free in a trapped society filled with rules and regulations. Freedom can be revealed to the naked eye in things such as laws, organizations, and even clubs. Freedom to me is living your life however you choose, wherever you choose, and whenever you choose to do so. Angela Davis had once lost those privileges.

Liberty is being free of restrictions that is set on you for certain beliefs, groups. For example, in California if a frog dies during a jumping contest you can not eat it.

Freedom lives and breathes in everything we as Americans do. The freedom we have today reminds me of where freedom does not exist yet.

Me personally, I didn't give freedom any thought until recently when I saw in the news where there are some countries that are not allowed on certain websites solely because their government has it banned. When I think about freedom I can see all the privileges I have.
