|
|
The word “Freedom” is an interesting one and can be defined and interpreted in many different ways. The Merriam-Webster dictionary states that freedom is the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action; liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another. ... Freedom is “what this country was built on.” Freedom is how many people define their lives in America. Freedom is a clever piece of propaganda used to pacify a public which is actually not free at all.
