Chris Manguno January 16, 2014 1st Period AP English III Because the world has become a dangerous place, many people chose to give up some freedoms for safety, since in most people?s minds; safety is much more valuable than freedom. This state of mind would have been laughed at in the past, but today, with the media, government, and constant control laws, many people are highly skeptical and would rather have less freedom in exchange for some more safety. Even though many people would trade some freedom for some safety, I do not think that anyone would fully trade away all of their freedom just to become a slave of safety.
