Freedom: Fight For It

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by oppressed”. These were the words of the freedom fighter Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom is defined as “having the right to be able to think, act and talk freely without fear” (Apple Dictionary). If I was given the choice, I would base the society on the New World around freedom.

Freedom is an crucial characteristic in a civilization because it gives people power to have an opinion about what they think is right. Freedom allows the citizens to help make critical decisions that they (the people) would be satisfied with. You can also become acquainted with the people’s thoughts and it would help you understand their views of the world. 

Furthermore, a society built around freedom would work better, than, say, a communism, where one reigns supreme. The public have a choice on the matter and everyone’s voice would be heard and counted for. This also links to peace and justice in the New World, where people can demand a fair trial and there are no wars or protests. The citizens of the society would be happier to have their voices heard and to help make a difference in their future.

If there is a lack of freedom, then the society would crumble down and turn it into a dystopia, where the citizens rights are limited and freedom are repressed. It would turn into a nightmare and soon fade away. As Martin Luther King Jr., said “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” Freedom is everything. Fight for it.
