Every single person in the world has rights and responsibilities. But in order to get our own rights we must first have done our responsibilities. Some people argue that people they don’t have rights but most of the times they don’t have it because they don’t do what they are supposed to.
Some people also don’t know how to use freedom. Some people just think that freedom is just doing whatever they want but that is incorrect. I think you can think whatever you want, you can believe whatever you want but you can’t do whatever you want. You can do it but you must respect the laws of the place you’re living in. If you don’t respect it, you might start losing your freedom. In every place of the world it is prohibited to assault a bank. If you do it, you go to jail. In this case you’re doing what you want but without respecting the laws, so you start losing your own freedom.
There are also countries that had fight for freedom in the past and sometimes still in the present. But most of them, are fighting for being independent and being free of doing what they want and ruling themselves.
To conclude, people must not confuse the meaning of freedom, otherwise if they don’t respect the rules or laws. They will start losing their own freedom.
I agree with your post Alejandro, there is a lot of people who think freedom means doing whatever you want, and they are actually wrong. I also think that what you said about countries fighting for their rights of freedom is very interesting, because even though some countries do have it a lot of Muslim countries do not.
ResponderEliminarIn this blog Alejandro has a very good point of view talking about freedom as Savater explains it in chapter 6, as you can see I have comment in all of Alejandro posts because I like them a lot. Freedom as he say is something we must learn how to use and we must choose how to use it. People should make a good use of their own freedom if they do not want to loose it just as Alejandro said.
