Rethinking Freedom

No one can just say I think the meaning of freedom is such and such; one has to really experience this first hand.  For me going to Tehran, Iran and seeing such a disassembled country, made me appreciate everything I have here in America.  “Most people would be excited about freedom; I’d thought…Power not freedom is the real object of desire” (Alford 11).  This is exactly what it comes out to be if one is deprived of freedom, they solely want to get power and rise above others.  Creating this paradigm shift in what really is the meaning of freedom.
