Freedom or Equality? (Essay)

1.   
1.      Would you rather have complete freedom or complete equality in society? We have seen the importance of equality throughout history as oppressed groups have struggled, and are still fighting, to gain equal rights, such as the Civil Rights Movement. Yet, we see that even when BY LAW we are equal, this is not always the case IN PRACTICE. Media provide us with countless examples to defend this. The community in The Giver has “Sameness”. Does that mean everyone is equal? What did they need to sacrifice for Sameness?

  1. I prefer to have freedom and it's enough to have equality in laws, cause in practice sometimes i don't want to be equal... i respect when man opens door for me or helps to carry a heavy bag, i like when men invite me for a drink and pay for it. Of course i can do it myself , but why should i do it? It's just simply about being nice to each other and nothing about equality. Women please stay womanly!!!
