Question

Write down your thoughts on the importance of freedom.

Answer 1

The importance of freedom is that it allows us to develop our morality and our consciences.

If we lack freedom, we cannot truly become mature human beings. When we are forced to do things or not to do things, we do not have that many choices. We are not allowed to make our own decisions. Because of this, we are not really able to have fully developed morals or consciences. Look at it this way -- if your parents keep you locked up in the house all the time that you are not at school, how do you develop a true conscience and moral sense? You never have the freedom to get into trouble or do bad things, so you develop no morality or conscience.

If we have no freedom, we really are not able to become full, adult human beings.
