Americans most time proclaim their nation as a sign of freedom compared to the rest of the world and with this notion they dismiss nations such as China, Cuba and Saudi Arabia which have been categorized as non-free countries. Objectively, the part of the debate that America is a free country could be half right because countries such as China, Saudi Arabia and Cuba lack fundamental individual rights such as the due process that places these countries far away from the definition of free. However, the United States have a lot of aspects common to these regimes to admit. Unlike the United States, these countries that are far away from being free have purported to have constitutions that guarantee its citizens rights and freedom but there governments instead have a wide discretion hidden in denying citizens these rights and another revenues of acquiring rights that are challenging to its citizens. This is evident in the problem of new laws in non-free countries. However, the United States has so much more in common to these countries from the list of powers acquired by the United States government after the 9/11 attacks that has placed it citizens in a rather troubling concern.

Even with the new laws that cause America not be very free, I believe American citizens still enjoy the freedom. Many people have criticized the United States due to the fact that they are in possession of the most free, leniencies and liberties unlike China and Saudi Arabia. America is really a free country because of its constitution wrote by their forefathers that grants them the freedom. American citizens enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of due process unlike China and Saudi Arabia which are founded on traditional aspects. For instance, in Saudi Arabia everything is performed in Islamic religion and most foreigners have to join their religion in order to be free as much as Saudi Arabia citizens.

Despite America’s short comings, I believe generally, America is a free country. Apart from using word of mouth in declaring the freedom and rights of individuals, America has set aside a portion of its constitution to reinforce what they mean by freedom of religion, speech among others which is envied by the rest of the world. China and Saudi Arabia on the other hand are still rooted in traditional beliefs like disrespect in maintaining eye contact in a one on one conversation.

Women in American are presented with the chance to further their education, go out and be the best they can be, wear what they please, pay their bills, speak out their mind in the presence of their husband and this is the free culture in America. Saudi Arabia for example, women are not free to acquire education as they please, women are not able to own their own cars let alone drive them, and women do not have the freedom to dress as most times they are wrapped in hijabs and cloths that cover the whole body to leave out the eyes only.

In terms of trade and business, America is free regulated and have the ability to do business with anyone without restrictions. The aspect of free trade is what has placed America at the position of the world’s super power compared to countries such as Saudi Arabia and China who have to first approve businesses that are within the limitations of culture. There is a lot of competition in America; healthy competition that drives citizens to cooperate and perform economically. Freedom for America has thus brought the nation together. However, because of the increase in crimes and criminal activities, I believe that freedom should be constrained for security purposes. A considerate restrain should be the close monitoring of business activities and citizens with the use of GPS technology systems.
