Freedom: the ideal 1. Lise regularly invites friends or family to her home for dinner and makes a point of welcoming them at the door and being a good hostess.

 

 

Points to Ponder:

• How is this story an example of the ideal exercise of freedom?
• What kinds of support do you think Lise might have had to be able to do this?
• How would you rewrite this story to make it the opposite of what it is?

 

Now it's your turn!

Think about someone you know and a time they used their freedom wisely. Write a few sentences about it and to send it to us. We'll post your story below. The more stories we can collect, the more all of us will understand about how self-determination happens in real-time.
