Blog 20

I could not find another quote that I could integrate for today's blog. I therefore have nothing to write for today's blog. I guess I will just write more discussing the idea of freedom. Freedom has been an issue for human beings most likely for the whole time we have populated the earth. Dictionary.com defines freedom as “the power to determine action without restraint” (Dictionary.com). Freedom is the ability to choose what you want to do. Freedom allows for a person to choose their own profession, choose what they want to eat, and how they want to spend their time. As long as people interact with one another, their will be constraints on our freedom, yet being mostly free is entirely attainable. I am writing about freedom because it can be easily connected to the current struggle in Libya today. It is obvious that the people of Libya feel as though Muammar Qaddafi has taken their freedom from them. He has taken their safety, freedom of press, and freedom to elect government officials. Qaddafi has brought the revolution upon himself because he refuses to listen to the claims and needs of his people.
