Freedom is the right to have a choice. It is choosing where you live, where you work, what you eat, what you wear, and everything else. When freedom is withheld, in order to obtain it one must first battle peacefully. This is usually in the form of a speech, protest, or document. If that does not work, freedom should be taken back using force. Sometimes violence is the only way to make people listen.

A real world example of someone exercising their freedom would be someone attending a community college rather than a university, even though they had the option to go to the university. They had the right to decide where they wanted to get an education. Being free means deciding what you do and when. An example of someone's freedom being taken away could be a parent grounding their child. Because the child is not an adult and isn't responsible enough to make decisions, the parent is in charge of them. A parent can punish a child by taking some of their freedoms away, like going out or watching TV.
