1: What do the authors conclude about what freedom means to most people? 2: (With your partner, find an example of definition by negation in Jellison and Harveys extended definition and explain how negation adds to your understanding of freedom. Examples of negation should answer the question, what is freedom not?)

This question is about the article "What is Freedom?" by Jerald M. Jellison and John H. Harvey

Answer and Explanation:

1. The authors conclude that freedom means, for people, the ability to make choices. That's because they are always defining freedom as the ability to make their own decisions, to go where they want, to do what they are planning, to think for themselves, to make their own decisions, among other things always related to choices.

2. An example of denial is presented in the text, when the authors show that even though people see freedom as the ability to make choices, they do not feel free, when the options of choice are not attractive and do not seem to benefit by feeling so oppressed and forced to choose something bad. With that, we can conclude that people reframe the sense of freedom and affirm that bad feelings and negative effects are not freedoms.
