Ideals of Freedom
In life, freedom is something that we as Americans sometimes take for granted. We believe that once freedom is given to us, that it cannot be taken away. We also forget that we, at one point in time, were stripped of our freedom. Freedom is one of those obscure things that does not really have a concrete meaning. To some people , freedom could mean what allows you to do what you want to do, when you want to do it, and why you want to do it. To others, freedom means that anything can be done with no drawbacks or punishments. To all people, there is one universal meaning that cannot be changed whatsoever. That universal meaning is that freedom is something we are entitled to. That universal meaning leads to people misusing their freedom to do bad deeds. Those people ignore the fact that there are people in the world that are not as privileged as them and do not the same freedoms as them or they don't have any freedom at all. They ignore the fact that they have a better chance at life than those who do not have any freedoms and they choose to squander their opportunity. They have this sense of invulnerability just because of the freedoms they have. This is a fatal flaw of those who abuse their freedom.
Without freedom, individuality is practically nonexistent in societies that lack freedom. This is clearly evident in dystopian novels such as Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by George Orwell (AKA Eric Blair). When freedom is nonexistent, society falls apart and nothing is logical. This is what freedom is to an extent.
