Title: Freedom? Or Restriction?
Name: Hyunjun Han
Institutional Affiliation: Cheongna Dalton School
Class section: A

Introduction
For long there has been a surplus of controversy regarding the human race’s choice between freedom and restriction. Do people excel in a environment where they are restricted, or do they excel when they are completely free? According to behaviors of societies or groups, the answer would vary to that question. For example, whilst the German dictators believed in democracy and supported it, they had chosen totalitarianism over democracy when needed. On the other side, or for a more modern example, the company Gore has and did not have any management system, no boss, no rankings in the company and yet it thrives within its freedom. Thus, to truly judge which may be the better choice, the roots of both the German dictators decision and the company Gore’s policies must be studied, the behavior of individuals when faced with either restriction or freedom. Therefore, in short it boils down to whether the average person can do better in restriction or do better in freedom, this decides humanities’ adherence to either side.

Hypothesis
To hypothesize, because of the fact that restrictions allow or focus on smaller details and discard unnecessary attention to factors outside the restriction, it is hypothesized that a person under restriction will have a higher performance in most activities, than another that has complete freedom, which would have unnecessary factors that may hinder performance mixed in the usable factors within freedom.

Method

Representative Sampling and Procedures
To prove this hypothesis, an experiment will be carried out unto a representative sample to reach a conclusion. First of all, the representative sample will be selected by (after informed consent in viewing

    In the course of my essay, I will attempt to clarify the meaning of totalitarianism, briefly analyze a dictatorial mind and its weapons; highlight a few historical as well as present-day examples of oligarchic governance and offer an in-depth analysis of the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell as well as the novel Nineteen Eighty Four by the same author while relating it to the topic of discussion. My personal opinion has also been included.…

    Brave New World Essay

    • 2181 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Jim Morrison once said “The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.” Freedom is what allows one to be him or herself; without it, one may be compared to a slave. Individuality or difference however is nearly impossible under a dictatorship. Many historic literary scholars have implored this matter. For example, in the famous novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, a dictatorial government overpowers those who live under their power. The citizens under the government are controlled by the government to a certain extent. But, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a much more complex and effective analysis of the results on individuals of a totalitarian society. In Aldous Huxley’s satirical novel, Brave New World, freedom is stripped away from everyone who lives in the New State. The New State is governed by a dictatorial government, which limits what its citizens are able to do and controls them even before they are born. Within the New State, stability for its population is strongly evident; however human beings must pay for stability with their freedom. Human behavior is limited to the point where freedom is a mere deception-no more than robots being controlled by the government. The factors that play an immense role in limiting human behavior is the divisions of society (alpha, beta, etc.), the conditioning/brainwashing of the citizens, and the censorship of both religion and art.…

    Although most philosophers of liberty have argued that civil liberty worldwide is sacrosanct, closer examinations reveals that such a conclusion depends on the fundamental structure of the organizations responsible for the enforcement of such commitments. The world liberty is many a time used as a cliché. But do we truly know its definition? Do we truly feel civilly liberalized? More importantly, is it freely given to us or do we receive it at a price? Liberty is described as exemption from oppression through imposed authoritative restrictions. Entailing the restricting of government from out of our daily routine.…

    You ask me "What freedom means to me? " I don't really think about these things. Now that I am I think that I have something to say about it. Freedom is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Freedom for me is something we abuse. For example freedom of speech we use that like its nothing people in other places don't have that freedom. Most people don't think about freedom as we do stuff during are day. We don't usually think "How did we get our freedom? " well that's a good question. People fought for are freedom we don't think about that, people risked their lives for us. There are still people who risk their lives for freedom people who can't do what we do, people who don't have equality. They cant say what they want or do what they want. I couldn't imagine myself without freedom not being able to say what I want or do.…

    Freedom is defined as “the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint” (Dictonary.com).When you arrive to a new town you are somewhat free, although unless you are accepted by the town, you won’t feel free. In his short story, The Strangers that Came to Town, Ambrose Flack shows that true freedom is about being accepted. This is shown by the people in town mocking the Duvitches for who they are, and also by Tom and Andy poisoning the Duvitches fish they caught. The Duvitches don’t feel accepted until the dinner at the Duvitches that changes their perspective on how they are.…

Thankfully we will never have to worry about thanks in regards to our founding fathers and the Bill of Rights.

I will also analyze and discuss the significance of the Bill of Rights and subsequent notable amendments to the U.S. democracy.

    freedom of will

    • 298 Words

    In the reading “Freedom of the Will And the Concept of a Person” By Harry G. Frankfurt, Frankfurt takes a deeper look into the freedom of will concept. In the beginning it was very confusing because he uses examples that are hard to follow, for example instead of saying actions he says “X” and instead of saying man or people he says “A” and it got really hard to follow. I understood what he was trying to say but he could have done a better job with it. A part that I found really interesting in section II was his description of “second order violations”. His use of the example of the narcotics addicts was used very well; I was able to understand the idea of desire and free will because of that example. I found it interesting to know that addicts do not have freedom of will according to Frankfurt. The addicts are against their will and their will forces them to take the drug. In the reading Frankfurt asked an interesting question that caught my attention “Just what kind of freedom is the freedom of will?” That question had me think, and was later answered by Frankfurt when he said that “ having the freedom to do what one wants to do is not sufficient condition of having free will”. I agree with this that you can have the freedom to do what you want, but in reality you don’t have freedom of will and that we are just a helpless bystander to the forces that move us. Overall this was not one of my favorite readings, but it was an interesting one. There were many strong points that he brought up about freedom of will that liked and he also had points that I disliked.…

    In the United States of America the citizens always use the concept of “freedom”, but why do the citizens of the United States of America call it “freedom” when they wake up, go to work, go home, sleep, and repeat. Is that really freedom or is it the government controlling us. Like always, Prince EA said, “Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.” To explain, this quote shows that people have the “freedom” to do anything, but the truth is that we really can not do anything we want because we have other problems to deal with. Also, we are controlled by the problems of having to deal with taxes, if we have enough money, etc. My third point, is that most people that are old are going to regret the things that they did not do, instead of actions…

    Freedom In America

    The struggle for freedom has existed since the beginning of civilization. When creating a nation, leaders must decide who has power and how much power they should have. However, finding the balance between an excess of freedom and insufficient freedom is difficult. Two societies for comparison are North Korea and Somalia. North Koreans have little liberty to do as they choose. The government denies human rights and allows citizens to starve, while using wealth better spent on its citizens to grow military might. Giving citizens little freedom of choice is obviously not a good way to govern; however, the opposite also makes for an unstable country ("Life"). Somalia is an unstable society with no central government and instead a series of "clans…

    Freedom is being in the position of not being enslaved or imprisoned. It is the power to act, speak, or think whatever without restraint or impediment. Some people are born into freedom and never have to bare the struggles that most others go through to gain it. Many countries didn’t start off free and most of them aren’t still. The residents of multiple countries escape their homeland and move to other places for freedom and the knowledge that they are safer there than back at home. Freedom is never given, it is demanded and fought for. Benjamin Banneker and Martin Luther King Jr. demanded freedom in America, the Obamas pushed for freedom for young girls around the world, and Ahdaf Souief united with her peers and peacefully fought for freedom in Cairo.…
