Freedom

Freedom is a huge balancing act. To maintain a good balance between individual rights and responsibilities is a difficult task. Each country must find the correct balance to gain the support and cooperation of the majority of its people. To achieve freedom there must be a good balance between rights and restrictions.

Most people cherish the freedom of religious. This means that people are free to believe in God, or not. They are willing to pay for the protection of this right. For example, a true democracy would not restrict people’s beliefs. People are free to have different thoughts and opinions about their countries. On the other hand, in a few countries there is no religious freedom. In these cases, many people are willing to fight for the freedom to have their religious beliefs.

People should have the right of free speech. They should be able to say what they truly think about ideas, as long as they respect the right of others and do not hurt someone’s reputation. Laws can be written to control this right in order to prevent people from deliberate and harmful comments.

People also have the right to free information. Such rights protect that people’s access to the internet. People should have the right to seek, accept and transmit information between any countries. Freedom of information should include the right for people to communicate their ideas about the government. Again, laws can be written to control this right, because maybe it is not good for people to know everything about the government.

The biggest competitor of freedom is government. Freedom restricts the power of the government. The government often uses this reason to restrict the freedom people want. Freedom is not only good for the people, but it is also good for the country, because people who want to freedom will learn how to become more rational and responsible people.
