Freedom and Responsibility

To me, freedom is what I see that all Americans have in America. Freedom let us be peaceful and live a good life in America. It let us have our privacy and alone time by our self. Freedom does not mean that you can do what ever you what by using freedom for an excuse. Freedom only gives you a certain rules that you should do and not do. For example, people use freedom when they think that they are being bothered too much by like when police stop a person for no reason or someone is being called into court.

To me, it is more important for American to have personal freedom and not public security because if we have public security, they won’t be able to have freedom and time for themselves. This will make Americans mad and not happy. If American has personal freedom, they will have time to do more things that they like doing on their own and not have people interfered them on what they are doing. I think we should be able to do whatever we want as long as it does not directly harm someone else because that way it will make us happy and the other person no harm. For example, a person is smoking a cigarette and the other person moved away because they don’t want second hand smoke.

I am free to do whatever I want because I always go out and I really enjoy doing that. Sometimes I get stopped from going out because my parents won’t let me go out a lot. I only go out to play sports and do things that I know is good for me. The only things that stopped me from doing what I want to do are sometime my family. For example, when I come home from school and I’m about to go out with my friends to the park, my mom tells me that I can’ go out and have to stay home for the day.

I think it is not ok to ever break the law because it is wrong to do it and e will go to jail for breaking the law. For example, a drunk driver is driving home from a party and he is really drunk. He crashes to a tree and is still alive. Then he is arrested and sent to jail.

I think it is more important to stand up for what you believe because you know what you’re doing and the other person doesn’t know what you’re doing. Sometimes you have to stay out of trouble because it can become great consequences. For example, your friends are going to rob the bank and you are thinking about doing it too. You realize that its wrong to do it and you believed that if you get caught, you will be in great consequence. So you decide not to do it and let them do it.

    I agree freedom could make Americans very happy, but to much freedom can make someone very dangerous. I also agree what you said about standing up for yourself but in some situations one person might have experienced something you are experienceing and just want to lend a helping hand.
