<p>Prompt: Are we free to make our own choices in life or are our decisions always limited by the rules of society?</p>
<p>Essay:</p>
<pre><code> Freedom, the ability to do what one wants to do is a pervasive topic in many institutions. As humans, we have the right to choose what we want to do even if it seems unorthodox to the scoiety. For example, although Mahatma Ghandhi, John Wilkes Booth and Adolf Hitler were going against the contemporary rules of society, they choose not to be derailed by that impasse.
Mhathma Ghandi, the pacifist freedom fighter for India successfully led the peaceful protests against Britain. Although his efforts seemed futile he remained obdurate and continued his efforts even though some viewed his decision as surpassing the rules of society. Therefore it is apparent that, one is free to make his or her decision in life and cannot be undermined due to the rules of society.
In addition, John Wilkes Booth, the assailant of Abraham Lincoln, is an additional example of choosing to live free rather be limited by societies rules. Booth's decision to assassin President Lincoln at the conclusion of the war, although a despondent moment, proved that he chose to make that choice. Even though it is evident by the rules of our society that commiting murder is unconventional, he chose to do so. Evidently, this furhter bolster's my thesis that we are free to make our own chocies.
Finally, the corrupt leader, Adolf Hitler is an additional example of us having the freedom to make our own chocies. During the despondednt era of world war II, Hilter extended his inhuman ways by ordering to exterminate a race from this world. His decision to ultimately kill six million Jewsih civilians was his personal choice. Although this decision is reproched by many, if not all, it was still Hitler's personal decision to do so. Therefore it is apparent that, although this behavior has been greatly admonished by the public, the limits of societies rules has had no impact on Adolf Hitler as he chose to commit this crime.
In conclucsion, we are free to do what we want to do inconsequential of our decision being limited by societies rules. Mahatma Ghandhi, John Wilkes Booth and Adolf Hitler are primary examples of people who have shoosen to make their decision, either good or bad, regardless of the rues of society.
