Abstract
This is a question of perspective and of side. Depending upon the side you find yourself upon, your ideology, and your religion, determining who is fighting for the greater good and who is simply a terrorist is an impossibility of perception. Culturally, there is a great deal of support for freedom fighters. They are associated with the development of anti-oppression movements that we most closely associate with the American Revolution. To the British, the Boston Massacre was the suppression of terrorists, to the Americans, it was the massacre of innocents seeking nothing more than personal and communal freedom. This is how the world perceives Afghanis, members of Al Qaeda, and the combatants in Chechnya - as either terrorists or freedom fighters. It is the purpose of this paper to examine differences in perspectives on terrorism and how each group is perceived.

Abstract
The paper discusses freedom of speech in the American and the Mexican systems in light of the fact that the two countries are growing closer together in trade. The paper states that American individuals and businessmen need to understand the differences in the laws and customs on freedom of speech, as well as other cultural and legal differences between the two countries, in order to understand the meaning of actions and statements made by Mexican leaders. Examining the issue of freedom of speech in Mexico as compared to the U.S. can illustrate the differences and some of the reasons for those differences. The paper concludes that both systems are protected and neither can be seen as perfect in the degree to which it protects these freedoms. The Mexican government wants to be represented well in American thinking and to work with the American government for an improved economic situation for Mexico. Freedom of expression has been guaranteed by the Mexican Constitution, and now that promise has to be strengthened in order to assure that it is maintained.
Introduction
Mexico and the U.S.
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Expression
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The United States has a long tradition of political freedom, while Mexico does not. The United States as a nation is more than 225 years old, while Mexico as a nation is a little more than a century old. The United States emerged from its Revolution as a country with a new form of government, one crated as a counter to the kind of rigid and hierarchical society the settlers had known in Europe. In the U.S., freedom of speech is divided into freedom of speech and freedom of the press as related concepts differentiated largely by whether the expression is written in a publication or expressed verbally or through actions (in some cases). Case law has established both these types of expression as fundamental rights based on their inclusion in the Bill of Rights in the First Amendment."

Abstract
This paper explains that academic freedom is the concept that faculty, and in some cases, students, should be able to study, write, and publish the truth as they see it, free of doctrinal interference from the administration, the church, the corporation, or the state. The author points out that the concept of academic freedom, which is more prevalent at Western colleges and universities, has its roots in the 17th century, the beginning of the modern era. The paper relates that the power of alumni to shift the direction of a university tends to be limited because most alumni do not have sufficient money to make much of a difference, but this cannot be said for corporations, such as drug companies, which often have almost inconceivably large amounts of money and clearly focused needs and desires.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The development of a more fully modern concept of academic freedom came about in the 17th century not because of the work or writings of academics themselves but rather through the work of scholars such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. Locke and Hobbes were not in fact particularly interested in the rights of university faculty per se; they were, however, interested in the rights of all members of a society to certain basic freedoms. Their arguments about liberty and individual rights helped to define the era of the rise of modern democracies, one element of which has been the university that is freed from the church."

Religious Thinkers and the Treatment of Freedom, 2006.
A discussion regarding Kierkegaard, Nietzsche & Dostoevsky, and their interpretation of the relationship between religion and freedom.

Abstract
This paper discusses Friedrich Nietzsche, Soren Kierkegaard, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, who were all for all intents and purposes religious thinkers in a manner of speaking; no less importantly, they were religious thinkers who also placed a great deal of emphasis upon human freedom. The paper will examines the relationship between the faith which animates the writings of these individuals and the heavy emphasis each man places upon freedom. In conclusion, this paper contends that Nietzsche's view of what constitutes freedom is not genuine freedom at all because it makes no allowance for the fact that mental and spiritual freedom (the sort of freedom brought about by peace of mind and by spiritual contentment) is just as important as any other form of freedom, emphasizing the satiation of the physical senses.

The right to religious freedom is established in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States."

From the Paper
"As participants in traditional 12-Step Programs have sponsors, the counselor could also be a spiritual Seven Step sponsor. Together, the former addict and the counselor can review the Seven Steps together, ensuring that the addict remains bondage-free. The counselor can also assist in removing items of "false worship" from the former addict's home. These could include false idols and tools of the occult, such as innocent-looking tarot cards. The counselor could also be on the lookout for items which may trigger addictions, such as magazines showing glossy liquor ads or even hidden drug paraphernalia."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, according to Erich Fromm, the connection between modern society and our willingness to give up our freedom lies within the breakdown of our primary ties, our feelings of powerlessness, and our insecurities. The paper looks at how Fromm contends that to have freedom is to have fear, fear of the unknown, of the choices we have to make, and of the alienation of ourselves to society.
From the Paper
"In modern society, people are free to make their lives whatever they want them to be, but this doubt has lead to their weakness, as opposed to a strength. The isolation with this freedom has lead every member of society to seek out a purpose. They can't go on their own blind journey to find out who they are. People want to be told what they should be doing with their lives because they can't stand the fear of the unknown. Those who are smart and ambitious enough know this, and use it to their advantage, such as the link between religion and consumption. Even before the protestant reformation, when Catholicism reigned, the church had all of the power, and controlled all of the money. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the oldest and most cordial pedigree of religious autonomy can be found in U.S.A., where public policy says that religious beliefs must be a matter of individual scruples and entirely resistant from any intrusion by the state. The author points out that the separation of Church and State is vital, but the State can?t be a religion-free zone that goes in opposition to the foundation of religious freedom and freedom of idea. The paper relates that United States? dedication to religious freedom has become a part of its overseas policy as stated in the breakthrough legislation, the International Religious Freedom Act, which fights against religious harassment in foreign countries.
From the Paper
"Religious liberty is one major cause for the origin of our country. The notion of ideological and spiritual freedom remains as strong these days as it was at the time of the founding of the United States. The founding fathers left their homelands for a country, which assured freedoms to all. Representatives at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia (1787) deliberately avoided making strong declarations concerning religion due to a firm conviction that religious necessities were needless to protect religious freedom. This oversight was not taken calmly by six states, which went on to offer amendments guaranteeing religious liberty."

Philosophers' Conceptions of Human Freedom, 2008.
Compares Karl Marx's conception of human freedom to that of John Stuart Mill and Jean Jacques Rousseau.

Abstract
This paper stresses that philosophers have long pursued a deeper understanding of the nature of human freedom. The paper describes the beliefs of Jean Jacques Rousseau, which purport that human freedom is achieved through the rejection of the modern and the material in an effort to reach a more primitive and natural human state. The paper then relates that John Stuart Mill accepts modern society but dictates that it must be structured to facilitate happiness in the greatest number of society's individuals, thus arguing that human freedom is achieved through personal-political freedoms. The paper then suggests that both of these philosophies are too unrealistic, allowing for little or no clear path toward freedom. The paper concludes that a more realistic Karl Marx provides the idea that society can only move toward freedom after understanding the material conditions of society.
From the Paper
"Marx would say that this definition of freedom is too abstract. By Marx's terms, Mill's definition is not really freedom because it does not take into consideration the many factors of politics, society, and history. For example, a man in Mill's ideal society cannot achieve freedom simply through the pursuit of happiness and the lessening of pain. The man must still work, whether or not he is encouraged to choose the type of work. In a capitalist society, a larger body or industry will inevitably control his work."

Abstract
The writer looks at the levels of religious tolerance by the British government and subsequent formation of America's standard. The paper explains that while both the United States and Britain have long traditions of religious freedom, Britain had more bloody confrontations over religion in her history than America has had. The writer provides background information on religion in Britain and provides relative information for America.
From the Paper
"Religious freedom in Britain was achieved gradually from the 17th century to the present. Laws that discriminated against minority religious groups were gradually administered less harshly and then finally repealed, and heresy ceased to be a legal offense with the passage of the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Act of 1677. The Toleration Act of 1688 granted freedom of worship to Protestant minority groups. The Test and Corporation Act was repealed in 1828 to give nonconformists full political rights, after which it was possible for them to be appointed to public office. Roman Catholics gained political rights with the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829."

Freedom of Religion, 2002.

Abstract
This paper uses the experiences of two historical figures in early America, Bartolome de las Casas and Anne Bradstreet, to reject the notion of the right to religious freedom in America. Bartoleme de las Casas, while more humane than other Spaniards of his time, still represented the dominant philosophy of Spain during early America, that religious freedom meant the freedom to convert others to one's own religion. Bradstreet is described as belonging to a community, typical of the Puritan era, that rejected the rights of others who chose to believe differently.
From the Paper
"Bradstreet does not discuss the issue of freedom of religion in her poems but seems rather to live that freedom herself. She determines meaning by contemplation rather than by repeating lessons learned from some authority, for instance. She concentrates most on her family rather than on God and religious issues. She contrasts in this regard with Edwards, who gives all his concentration to religious matters and who judges everything in the community on the basis of how it accords with his religious beliefs."

"Beyond Freedom and Dignity", 2007.
A discussion of B.F. Skinner's controversial book, "Beyond Freedom and Dignity."

Abstract
The paper describes how in 1971, Skinner wrote "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" as an answer to the problems of the modern world, including crime, poverty, violence, pollution and overpopulation. Skinner argues that the classic theories of freedom and dignity are outdated and no longer apply to the "modern scientific understanding of man." Skinner asserts that humans are essentially animals that could be controlled by using his previously discovered and published observations about the domination of animals. The paper stresses that "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" goes far beyond psychology and enters into sociology, philosophy and politics. The paper contends that if viewed within these parameters, it is a work of value for generations to come.
Outline:
Abstract
A Synopsis of "Beyond Freedom and Dignity"
Skinner's Concept of "Freedom"
Skinner's Concept of "Dignity"
Conclusions
From the Paper
"A most interesting theory that Skinner puts forth in the book is the idea that, based upon his earlier research into animal motivation and control, that humans are essentially animals that could be controlled by using his previously discovered and published observations about the domination of animals through motivation and deprivation, subject to the same laws of stimulus-response that he observed in his "rat boxes", or what has come to be known as "Skinner Boxes" in psychological circles (Todd & Morris, 1995) . In the book, Skinner denies the existence of a "human mind", personal responsibility and any type of "inner personality" (Skinner, 1971). To him, free will, thoughts, and emotions only "seem" to exist."
