We Have the Right

Living in the United States, we are granted many rights that allow us to live out our lives the way we want to within certain boundaries of course. One of the many rights that we posses is the right to choose. We posses the freedom to choose where we want to go to school, what religion we want to practice, who we want to associate, and so on so forth. These decisions that we make impact our entire lives and we do not realize that there are a lot of nations that do not allow their inhabitants to make these decisions for themselves. We also have freedom of speech which allows us to be informed on what our government is doing, even though at times the information that the press has is not always complete. The ability to express our opinions without getting into too much trouble is one thing that we should appreciate because some societies do not let their inhabitants express any negative opinions about the state that they are living in because of fear of centrifugal forces. We also have the right to vote which a lot of people do not even want to participate in, but hey who can blame them...the government is not too popular among U.S. citizens these days. Living in a country with unlimited rights (sort of) can be a good thing and we should take advantage of those rights.
