Freedom. The word plays such an important role in today's society. Freedom. The word gives us so much power and opportunity. Freedom. The word defines America.
The limitation of governmental power over the community allows us to gain our freedoms and rights in the country we live in. It is important for the government to allow the population to have freedom instead of liberty because freedom allows for opportunities to do much more with your life than liberty does. In America's history, the Americans had to fight for their rights as Patrick Henry famously says "Give me liberty, or give me death." The Americans had to fight for their rights so it would make sense that they should not be under the control of Great Britain and be awarded freedom instead of liberty right? After doing so much to be separated from the control of Great Britain, it would be terrible to have independence but still be restricted from being completely free.

When America entered the spotlight of independence, it had a whole new start. America started from scratch and was allowed to do whatever it wanted to do because there were no rules and regulations in place yet. While ethical rules and regulations will always be there, America was given the opportunity to be free and do anything it wanted to do. This freedom that the Americans were given allowed them to be creative. Similarly, when a dancer parts from the control of her teacher, she is given complete freedom and can do anything she wants when she enters the stage and gets under the spotlight. Although there are some moral rules that she must follow, she is free to express her emotions and creativity when she enters the stage. She is allowed complete freedom to show the world who she really is. She is allowed the freedom to create her own masterpieces and routines on stage. She becomes independent from her dance teacher and she feels free. America deserves this freedom to express its uniqueness and individuality from other countries. Unlike liberty, freedom will allow Americans the rights and opportunity they were promised in America.
i like the way you compared the freedom of a dancer to express her emotions and creativity to the freedom of Americans to express their opinions.
ReplyDeleteThe connection between freedoms in dance and in America are really interesting. In your opinion, how much freedom should a dancer (and society) have? Is there a limit/what's the importance of there being a limit?
ReplyDeleteI like the importance that you placed on the word " freedom ". It really made it more impactful when you brought in the subject of dance, relating it to freedom. Do you think that there is a restriction on dancing and the freedom it has, and where do you think that stems from?
ReplyDeleteYou mention liberty a few times, but you don't really elaborate (i.e. why do we need freedom instead of liberty without explaining liberty itself). I do like how you equated America's independence to a dancer leaving his or her teacher. It connects a more modern idea to a historical thought process to prove it still exists.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you connected the freedoms a dancer has to America. Do limitations in person freedoms always hinder society and dancers? How much freedom/limitations should they have?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you uniquely connected a dancer to our country and the freedoms each enjoy. When you are comparing freedom to liberty, what definitions are you basing these words on? Why would giving dancers liberties instead of freedoms be worse or less impactful?
ReplyDeleteI liked how you connected the freedoms you have as a dancer to the freedoms we have in America. I also liked how you described what a dancer is able to do with their freedoms through their expression and performance. Do you believe that most people dance to express their freedoms through speech and movements?
