Freedom With Responsibility
9/1/15
To me, freedom with responsibility means being able to do what you want, but with certain restrictions. It could mean being able to go out with friends, but you have a curfew. Your freedom is going out with your friends. The responsibility part is making sure to come home by the curfew. Having this responsibility means that people trust you enough to do things by yourself, although you must show them that you can handle it. If you don't show them that they can trust you, you won't have the freedom. Freedom with responsibility is all about trust.

To quote Sigmund Freud, "Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom assumes responsibility and most people are afraid of that responsibility." This explains how freedom with responsibility is about trust. People don't want to be trusted with having certain responsibilities, so they are afraid of that freedom and responsibility.
Also, students themselves should know what freedom with responsibility means to them. Here's a quote from another freshman, Hallam George: "Freedom with responsibility means to me that I have the ability to do what I please with my life but with that comes duties that I must fulfill to myself and others to maintain this freedom." As he stated, you must complete certain responsibilities to earn the freedom. You will not and can not be given this freedom without some aspect of responsibility.
