The question of freedom

Last meeting in L&C IV, while analysing the basic elements of political systems and applying them to the republican system, the question of freedom arose. That same topic had cropped up at the beginning of the year in L&C III, as a result of our preliminary approach to modernity. On that occasion, the debate moved us to see the short Brazilian documentary "Ilha das Flores," and to continue our exchange in If I may say so…

 

I invite you all to have a look at what we wrote and discussed then, and to resume the debate. You can also watch the video there.  Just click here

After watching the video and reading the comments I sadly recognized that it is true that we are not free at all. Maybe the video can be seen as dramatic and cruel but it is exactly what it is happening nowadays in many countries, and also here in Argentina. While many people is looking for their food on others´ garbage, those who don´t need so, are depending on money for living(or survive!)Everyone depends on something for living and it is sad to think that we are not really free at all.VERONICA.
