Q="The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
---Albert Camus
A= One of the most common statements that the United States is the "land of the free", however, the statement isn't accurate. There have been many acts of enslavement towards different races and individuals. In a symbolic aspect, it is even possible to say us citizens aren't free because of the amount of constraints that the U.S has implemented on us. When thinking of this quote, what exactly would be considered as "absolutely free"? I disagree with this statement because in order to be absolutely free, you must be able to do ANYTHING without being critiqued about it negatively by others. There may be a very small amount of solutions to be able to achieve this standard, but it is certainly possible. When I personally think of a world that's absolutely free, I envision how animals are in the wild. They live in a world without any punishment for actions, discrimination, or currency that causes many people to go through life a horrible way. Nothing but how life was attended, the ideology of Survival of the Fittest. There are many reasons why this will happen no time soon. There's the invention of technology, the advancement of what human beings consider as ethical, and the savagery that most of us do not have.
One of the reasons that this is unreachable is because of the invention and advancement of technology today. In the year 2017, human beings have never depended on technology as much as we have. The recent struggle for teens are that the can't live a day without their cellphones or the internet, me included. Also, if the technology weren't available, humanity would most likely have been wiped out by diseased where animals either go through with the disease and live, or die. Humans can never do that because of how dependent we are with these resources that have been made by man. *timer up*
