My Interpretation of Freedom

I chose the word freedom because it is ubiquitous in our American society. I probably hear the word every day. I hear freedom in many contexts. To me it always meant liberation and unconstrained. The word freedom is generally used in the sense of ones rights and choices. “I have the freedom to express my views because I live in the US.” I think it is interesting how the concept of freedom changes around the world. The US citizens see other countries political stances and thinks that they are putting heavy constraints on freedom, but that is that countries view of freedom. Freedom is also in many religious, political and general contexts. Freedom is constantly mentioned in various songs and even in protests. People fight for freedom from tyranny, financial freedom, freedom from their burdens, etc.. Freedom has so many uses but it is generally used in a positive, yearning manner. People seek freedom and they want liberation and a sense of independence and a better life. I believe that everyone should be able to have a "form" of freedom because it is a necessity in life.
