Freedom and Responsibility
To me, freedom is being able to speak what you want to speak, being able to follow your own path, be what you want to be, preach what you want to preach, and overall just live how you want to without haveing to worry what others might think of you. Freedom means doesn’t mean you’re able to just go out and do what you will without a care of following rules there are still consequences for some of your actions. For example,if someone were to go out on a killing spree on everyone who was wearing a yellow shirt it’d be against the law. Now laws are passed by the president only if fair he must do what is safe for all and not just you like the quote “The world does not revolve around you.”
To me, it is more important for the safety of multiple people rather then just targeting one person. Publice security is there to ensure that citizens well being is in good hands. This is important from personal freedom because where one might think he/she can do one thing because in their opinion they are just being free others might say that is is not right or immoral. Again with the example of someone going out on a killing spree on everyone who was wearing a yellow shirt
However it isn’t right to just go out and do as you please because you are not harming anyone. Just because you aren’t harming a person does not mean that you are hurting the plant life,animal life, or the planet. You have to take many things in to consideration and not take the freedom that the US gives their citizens to your advantage. If you were to have to much freedom who knows how you would react to any normal situation that could be solved logically. For example I am not free to do whatever I want because i must follow the rights of the United States of America.
I think it is not OK to ever break the law because we have laws for a reason. People get bulk headed with to much freedom and do dumb things as well as make dumb decisions when they aren’t following the law. For example a man gets in to his car knowing that he’s had a few drinks and still goes out for a joy ride to get more liquor. He doesn’t know that in 3 minutes his car will be flipped right side up after hitting a young woman on her way home from collage.
In conclusion I think it is more important to stand up for what you believe in because if you don’t then no one will hear the words of encouagement you have to share. Change can only be brought if you speak up the more you speak the more change you will see. It’s also very important to stay out of trouble because you won’t get anywhere in life not following the law. The society today is set out very simple you’ll either fail or you’ll pass through life. Sadly there are peope who choose to fail; why? I am sure that question might never really be answered, but we can do is try to fix the problem and get kids off the street doing good, get gang members to come at peace with eachother, and overall just clean up all of our acts because we’ve been slacking and look where it’s got us now. I don’t know about you but it seems pretty hard to stretch a dollar these days if you know what i mean.
The American Dream
If i were to define the American dream my dream I would say it is your retirement from life itself being able to be free and do what you’d like and not under “The Man’s” rules. I would describe the american dream as myself on a beach pinapple drink in one hand and a significant others hand in the other; free of all stress, just me and her [kids in the water of course] relaxing. In general, the American dream can be defined as being the opprotunity and freedom for all citizens to achieve their goals and become rich and famous if only they work hard enough.
My dream is quite different from other American’s because i am not looking to be rich and reach all of my goals. I will take life as my path makes it’s way i will make my decissions on my way i have no time to stress what big time agency i’d like to work for as long as i can provide for my family my life is exactlly how i would like it. Sure the flashy items and accessories are nice but they don’t mean the world to me. I was once told that if you let money rule you, you’ll just become something that you don’t want to be.
My dream is quite different from my families because i am the only teen so far to get as far as i am now with a great past in my school years. My grades are always “ok” to me that is and i am always trying something new. If i follow the road that is leading me now i am sure i will make it to my American dream. My American dream is to find the perfect person for me [not that special i am pretty nonchalant about "perfect" people for me because no one is perfect] and just live life through the ropes and just see where the road takes me from there.
The American dream is different to everyone so it depends on what they think the American dream is. The American dream is what ou want it to be your free here and if you follow your goals and reach to achieve anything is possible. The American dream can be possible to everyone whether you dream be to be a bum by the 711, or your dream be to be the next American Idol. Set up the right goals for YOU to follow no one knows you like you. Follow what you want to believe and hopefully your dreams come TRUE!
Different people get different opprotunities some people are less fortunate then others meaning that they are really limited to what they can achieve but if they really try hard they will shine like a start and catch that eye of someone who just might make their American dream come true. It isn’t hard to ever reach a goal it involes hard work and determination if you have always been a very hard working person it should be quite easy for you however if you are a slacker it might be the hardest thing for you to get through. One reason it might be easier for one person to get the American dream could be that they have more offers of help then others might have. Me living in California i have great opprotunities and help that i can take to my advantage which i am doing now. Because… The American dream doesn’t just have to apply to those in America there are many who would like to live in America today that would love the American Dream.
In my mind the American dream is very worth while but liveing in todays century so many people can do so many things. And many now days are starting at young ages. Which is why i am concentrateing on school to reach my goals for school and get out there in the “Real Life”. I know i am young and have much to live for in my childhood, but these days everything seems so repetative so i am ready for my American dream now.
I have done many things to work towards my American dream. Ever since i was a young 6 year boy i knew what i wanted to do. I’ve always liked taking things apaart and putting things together. When i was just a child many of my family members would let me install there new VcR’s, stereo’s, Tv’s, DvD players, etc… and now that i have found this academy within my school which is perfect i can finally learn things i have tried to learn myself with actual explanations why things work the way i do. AOIT is an awesome decision towards my American dream and i hoe it works wonders. To reach my American dream i must concentrate on my work, follow directions in school, and have determination for what i want. Like i said befor i am following my road as it makes itself so i do hope i do reach my dream.
