Freedom

Hi there! For my US history class, my teacher has asked us to create a blog to talk about a commo theme from the class. For the next 9 months, I  will be writing about Freedom.

Below there is a link to an article i found about freedom:

https://soapboxie.com/us-politics/What-is-Freedom-in-America


In this article they talk about two main things, the first on is obvious...American Freedom, and the second topic is about how Americans are also losing their freedom. Freedom has a wide variety of meanings and uses, but the main 6 everyone knows...the freedom of speech, freedom of religon, freedom of press, freedom to petition, freedom of assembly, and finally the right to bear arms. The first half of this article is explaining the basic rights and freedoms Americans have, showing us what sets the United States apart from other parts of the world and how much freedom we have, but then it switches over to how Americans are losing their freedom. Their main argumet was about health care. Saying that being forced to get health care, but being punished if you dont isnt freedom. After reading this I kind of agree with them. It does seem like we are losing some of our rights and have less freedom. Forcing someone to do something is just that forcing them; you dont give them a choice you make them do it. We're suppose to have a choice in many things, but recently it only seems like we're forced to do things.

Until next time! See ya later.
