There are many factors in my life that I consider important and that I know I take major advantage of, one of them is being able to love my God the way I desire. I am not forced to become nor partake in specific religions because of the country that I live in. I am able to love and proudly proclaim my love for Jesus Christ and to tell the world what he means to me without persecution from the government.
Many other factors that are important to me and that I know I take for granted is that I’m a woman that lives in the United States of America; with that comes freedom of speech, the ability to work if I desire, bare arms, I can further my education if desired, I can own property, I can vote, I can marry if decide to, I can be independent without depending on others if I want to, I can own my own company, I have the freedom to express my sexuality however I choose. Of course with all of these freedoms there are some consequences that may come into play. However, they are still my decisions and I’m not being told what to do.
Many of the stories that I’ve read for my world literature class are from the beginning of time. It’s rather obvious that the women back then did not have the same freedoms that I do today. With that said, I can only say, I’m extremely thankful to be a woman of the present and not of the past. I fear that if I ever were forced to go back in time, I would be beheaded for my stubborn, independent, strong willed ways!!!
I fully agree with women not having many freedoms that women in the United States have the freedom to be apart of. Its important to know where you begin from and how far you have progressed since the beginning and women have progressed. From doing nothing but having babies and kids, to working running a family and supporting it.
