From the Paper:

"Freedom is often a concept that is taken for granted, misunderstood, and, as Carlos Fuentes notes, is often defined for the citizens of the world by institutions that have no other ultimate interest but to limit the freedom that appears to be so fleeting. Novelist, essayist, and traveling diplomat, Carlos Fuentes' quotation on what freedom is inspires the reader to think about what freedom truly is. It envelops concepts familiar and new, traditional and rebellious, and in the end encompasses the multitudes of facets that have founded nations, inspired societies, and given rise to revolution. In the beginning of Fuentes' thought provoking quote, he notes that freedom is freedom based on people seeking it. This thought is comprised of two primary parts. First, without the quest for freedom, freedom would not exist. It is the process of striving for freedom that ensures that the concept continues to exist."
