America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Some people would give up some freedoms to make a better community. A community with no starving people, no homeless people, and crime free. Well, as peaceful as this sounds, I disagree with giving up any freedoms. Think about it, what if a community full of people who didn’t starve was real? How about if a crime free community was real? Even though it sounds great it is not.

For example, in the The Giver by Lois Lowry , the community gave up decisions because the community thought that it would prevent heartbreak and bad choice. However if we gave up in today society we wouldn’t experience true love, lost of love ones and freedom. For example, in The Declaration of Independence “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equally that they are endowed by their creator with certain
In 1796, the United States of America was founded on a basic principle, the desire for freedom. Our forefathers yearned and achieved a vision of freedom of liberty, life, and pursuit of happiness. They enabled the generations that followed to live a life without religious persecutions. However, like the founders before us did in the revolutionary war, our generation like those before us and after us, have to continually fight for that freedom.
