«For me, freedom is one of the most important values ​​of both a person and society as a whole. Freedom is given to us from birth, and our main task is to preserve it throughout our lives. Freedom is expressed in actions, goals, beliefs, and even thoughts. Many factors influence freedom: the people around us and their views; resistance to certain beliefs of each individual and methods of influencing them; public awareness and information provided by primary sources and their derivatives; the ability to filter information and maintain impartiality in one’s views. For this, it is essential to teach society to defend its borders, this is the basis for preserving freedom. In order not to be influenced by the outside and to be able to protect personal freedom, it is necessary first to understand «what is it for»? We need it for the «feeling of freedom» or «security», or maybe in general – a complex of these. It is individual for each individual. The freedom of society begins with the freedom of every citizen. Freedom must be with the awareness of owning it, without this freedom is not effective».
