Freedom & Liberty

What is Freedom?

Some say freedom is being able to do what you please when you please simply without anyone stopping you, others say freedom is only achievable when you have something restricting you . Some say that we are all free in this modern society whereas others say the complete opposite.

My Project

I thought about different ways freedom can be achieved and out of all one stood out of me and that was that 'Freedom can only be achieved when something is restricting it' that 'something' could vary from; age to a person to a situation.

Escapes To Freedom

An escape to freedom Is anther subjective concept. Some people say their passion makes them feel free for example dancers, I have heard a number or dancers and performers say that when they are dancing or performing that they free it takes them away from reality and makes them feel free. Another example is nudist in the documentary film 'The Naked Rambler' the main character states how being naked makes him feel free and the whole documentary is basically about him expressing he's beliefs about freedom and protesting that it should be against the law to be naked in public. In my project I focus on the worse escape to freedom possible and that is by death. The harsh reality is that in some circumstances the only way to escape something is by death an example of this is guilt. If an individual is being swallowed by guilt then there comes a stage where there is nothing you can do about it and the guilt will practically such the life from you causing all types of mental illnesses I.e. Depression or schizophrenia. In my project we focus on how the character is so guilty of something he feels there is only one way out...
