Unit II freedom of the individual
If society fits you comfortably enough,
you call it freedom.
Robert Frost
Freedom is the main asset in a new civilization. It is not a cure-all, but it gives people a chance, without it there is no chance. Without it, a “power” can be established that may huff and puff but will have neither real might nor dignity. Perhaps no issue is discussed more often, than the rights and freedoms of the individual – how far should the state, decide what is best for us, and how far should we have the right to control our own lives?
Even in the countries where social and political values are very similar, the laws about some of the world’s most controversial issues can be very different.
Let’s discuss what freedom actually is: a reality or a mirage?
To encourage you to speak, start with one-minute talk, choosing any of the points below:
What I know about freedom.
The level of freedom in the country.
Complete freedom implies...
