Vill How Free is Free?
In a one page written response, discuss the concept of modern freedom. What freedoms are we
guaranteed in the contemporary (modern) United States? In what ways are individual freedoms
limited? Have certain subgroups (ethnicities, religions, etc.) been granted fewer freedoms in the
past with resonances into the present? What essentially does freedom mean to you? What
choices are made for you?
