Peace and freedom would not be recognized the way they are today if it had not been for
the struggles many generations have fought against. Without the doings of protesters, civil rights
leaders, politicians, and even everyday citizens the way my generation experiences peace and
freedom would not be the same, if it hadn’t been for the individuals who gave it all they had we
wouldn’t be able to do many things we take for granted. So yes, I could make a quick Google
search and find the definition, but what would it teach me, what would I learn from tapping a few
buttons and having an answer? I would see but I would not know. I would hear, but not learn.
The true meaning of peace and freedom are ever changing, but I wouldn’t know that or
experience the feelings of peace and freedom if it hadn’t been for the doings of the people before
me.
