When you think of America, what do
you think of?... The stars and stripes? The wars? Or how about Freedom? We are one of the only countries that have
freedom. We have the freedom of speech. We have the freedom of love. We have
the freedom to choose our president. But what most people need to focus on, is
what we have rather than what we don’t have. Freedom isn’t something we can
just buy from a store, freedom has to be earned in one way or another.
The freedom of speech is something
that the blacks of the 19 century didn’t have. All the white people thought
that the people who didn’t have the same skin color than them were stupid. But
now thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. we are all free to live a happy and normal
life for whatever skin color you are.
Although freedom of speech is
important and well known, freedom of politics is an intellectual part of
America as well. Freedom of politics is something that most countries don’t
have and we should be grateful that we get to choose our president, and
governor and even maybe class presidents at school. Even though most of us are
grateful for who is our president, there are others who don’t even know what a
president is. Politics are important, let’s keep it that way.
Through and through freedom is something
that people should respect and be thankful for. If this is something these
people can’t do, then it’s their loss and they will NOT have a happy and
fulfilling life. People shouldn’t just think that they can get away with anything
they want. If they don’t enjoy freedom then they don’t enjoy life. I think that
these people are not like Martin Luther King Jr. because they don’t have the
courage and drive that he did.
