ETHICS

To be free means that you have all the rights to do something that you want, and no-one has to say to you anything about something that you do.

 This period of time that we  live in, we have not any freedom, and  we are slowly having less and less of it. But I think that freedom has got limits because the liberty here isn´t same that in Africa for example.

In many parts of the world people have fought for the freedoms they now possess. Yes, it is true of America, but it is also true for many other countries around the world. Freedoms are personal, religious and the ideals of pursuing happiness. There are those, however, who absolutely fear the notion of freedom. This fear is known as Eleutherophobia.

These are two important people that have given their opinion of freedom.

JOHN STUART MILL

Mill´s On Liberty addresses the nature and limits of the power that can be legimitaly exercised by society over the individual.

NELSON MANDELA

He won freedom for black people in South Africa. 

Human rights in Burma under its military regime have long been regarded as among the worst in the world. International human rights organisations including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have repeatedly documented and condemned widespread human rights violations in Burma. The Freedom in the World 2011 report by Freedom House notes that "The military junta has... suppressed nearly all basic rights; and committed human rights abuses with impunity." In 2011 the "country's more than 2,100 political prisoners included about 429 members of the NLD, the victors in the 1990 elections." As of July 2013, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, there were about 100 political prisoners in Burmese prisons. 

PERSONAL OPINION

I understand for freedom that is what you need to live your life. It is neccessary. Freedom must be in all the continents of our planet, but unfortunately, there isn´t freedom in many of countries. Freedom is doing what you want, and no-one has to say to you anything about what you can do or can’t do.
