the freedom that we take for granted in the U.S is voting for something. such as in elections. actually i dont think we have to much freedom, i think we need a little more freedom.
ReplyDeletei think that i would take away the freedom to vote. voting should be chosen by the important people and not by us. i think that people take that freedom for granted.

ReplyDeleteWe tAke many freedoms for granted such As the freedom to sue. People sue just to gain money. They physical hurt themselves just to gain money. What is wrong with people. I also disagree with the freedom of press. I wouldn't want people to know things unless I decided to verbally tell them myself. Since they have freedom of press they can write whatever they want and the nation can find out in days. I disagree with those to things.
ReplyDeleteI would take away the freedom of press. People should have the write to tell people if they want not just because someone else wants. That is what I believe that should be taken away. Also check the taxes lots of cheap people lie to save a couple dollars.
Wow! I'm so glad my students ACTUALLY completed the homework! (I'm being sarcastic.) Thank you Angel, Jonathan, and Steven for completing the homework assignment. :)
ReplyDeletethe freedom that we take for granted is the things that we recieve as gift. we think that it belongs to us and noone else in the world would want it more than yourself. yes i think that we have too much freedom because alot of people it this country take the things that we have for granted. the freedom that i would take away is the freedom to have leagal weapons. i would take away this freedom because this causes alot of harm in this country and it decreases our population in the world

ReplyDelete1. What freedoms do we take for granted in the United States? Do you think we have too much freedom? EXPLAIN.
In this country we take for granted many things. However, people take advanage and think that "freedom" is everything. The rights to do what ever we want in what ever way we like it to be. But we are wrong, in this country "freedom does not mean to go out and do what ever we want with out paying a price. Not talking about equality but a sense of being realistic in this country. We are all sourrounded by millions of people who don't give a crap abou whats going on. For many of us we take "freedom" as free to do anything. However, we take our rights for granted in the United States. At some point I may that we do have "too much freedom" for the fact that people do things and are not bother or paying a price. For example, murder, in this country a minimum of one person die each minute. Either killed, accidently, or in any way. This country is fool of unfairness. The fact that people take "freedom" as just a game. It hurts me to know that people just take advantage of things.
2. What freedom(s) would you give up or take away if you were given the
opportunity? Why would you take this freedom(s) away? Explain.
If I have been given any apportunity to give up or take away freedom(s) I would take away the freedom of Emancipation. Manipulation of other human beings. In other words the "State freedom" the ability of a person to live preferably in his/her own land) under a government of his/her choosing. During this time period many imigrants are being manipulated because of their nationality. For example, being Mexican. Many of this innocent people are being manipulated by others that do have the rights and that do have the permision of the United States government to have a life here. There is no use of making them have a manipulated life because they do not have the rights to speak. Come on! You all do, in fact we al have the rights to speak and have a word about this issue. Thousands of kids and families are being left behind because they do not have papers. What papers!? A paper full of words and letters that just tells you if you are a citicent of this country. We all have the rights. Manipulation takes part of this problem in any way. I would take this freedom away, because I am sick ad tire of imigants being manipulated by others because in one way the other we all take part of this imigrational issue.
The freedom that we take for granted is going to school for free. We take it for granted by not working or lising. Some kids just dont come to school or skip.
ReplyDeleteIf i was to have an opportonataly to take freedom will be going out at 12 at night in the street. I would do this to keep people save and the steet better. This will help people live a better life when they sleep. This will be the freedom ill take.
1.We take many things for granted here in the U.S. I honestly think we take freedom for granted. People think that just because we have plenty of freedom we can do whatever we want, where ever we want to who ever we want.. But when people think that they have the free will to do whatever, they dont realize the consequences that come along with what they do.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think that we do have too much freedom. Yes, there are rules that we have to follow. But some people take too much advantage of free will that they think there to cool for rules. But when they end up some where, they will think differently but will still take the advantage of freedom.
2.If i would have a chance to take away something from freedom is the freedom of weapons (legal or iilegal). i would take away the freedom of weapons because its one of the most dangerous things in the world. You can lose a family member or even a friend.That is one of the most sadest moments in peoples lives. Who would want to lose someone so importanat to you.
We take many things for granted in the United States. I think we take freedom for the number one granted.People think they can do anything they want but they get introuble for doing it.There isnt many freedom in the U.S. because there are many laws.
ReplyDeleteIf i can change something in the U.S. I would give freedom to use cellphones and such in the hallways in school. I wouldnt use a dangourse one because there can be deaths and such.It will also cause resolution.I would take a freedom away such as weapons.
