23 US freedoms are fully acquired
"The land of the free" is more than an expression.
America is announced as the land of the free, but for many people who live here, which makes us exactly so free compared to other countries is not always so obvious. While many Americans reproduce by the limitations that our government plunged us, there is in fact a wealth of freedoms that we appreciate daily without even realizing it. From what you wear in the way you are parenting your children, it's time to stop taking these US freedoms for granted.

Think everyone has the same freedom? In countries like Germany, Japan, Sweden, Norway and Iceland, you would not have a chance of this type.
2 The right to a fair trial
If you are stopped for a crime in America, it does not mean that you should necessarily start preparing your new life in prison.

5 The right to be counted as an equal
Regardless of your sex or race in the United States, you are considered equal to the government's eyes. This means not only that, with the exception of some criminals, you have the right to vote in elections, but it also means that you can not be legally paid less to do the same job (which is something that many countries of the world do not even pretend). Although women in the United States are regularly less money than comparable male counterparts, if an American woman discovers that her employer knowingly committed salary discrimination, she has a legal recourse.
6 The right to an education
Although we often applaud the public education system in America, it is quite surprising that every American can enjoy free education until the age of 18. In many countries, families need their children to work to support them, and in many others there are countless obstacles to access to education, especially for women.
7 Freedom to drive
Do you want to hit the road open? If you are an adequate American elderly person to have a license - and without a major accident history under your belt - you are prompted to put yourself behind the wheel and go where you relax. Until recently, women in Saudi Arabia were not allowed to put behind the wheel. And the first group of licenses granted to the country's women have been given to people who had already won their licenses in other countries first.
8 Freedom to show
You want to take a sexy selfie and post it online? If you are an American citizen, you will not have to worry about the police who strike your door to do it. Unfortunately, in many other countries, such as Qatar and Sudan, the laws on indecency can prevent you from doing the same.
9 Freedom of religion
Whatever the religion you belong to, you are free to practice as you see fit in the United States as long as you do not hurt anyone else. The same goes for the adoption of the Garb that goes with it, which it means to carry a cross or a burqa. We can not say so many things for countless other countries, even - even France has a prohibition of religious coverage.
10 The freedom to end a relationship or a marriage
It does not matter that I just married Vegas after a few times or that you had a 50-year-old wedding, you are free to end your wedding when you see fit in the United States. In many other countries, such as the Philippines and Malta, there are serious restrictions in place on which can be divorced and why.
11 The ability to stylize your hair how you want
Do you think you look better with an OMCOT or a puff? Dark. You are invited to Styler your hair as you see fit at the US Iran, as for that, you could have serious problems for cuts like mule and false hawks.
12 Freedom of access to information
Internet gave us a mine of information at your fingertips and Americans benefit more than almost anyone else on earth. In addition to not having access to the Internet censored by the government, our use is relatively inconsiderate compared to other countries.
In China, on the other hand, you may not be able to access the websites of companies that compete with Chinese companies or even browse Wikipedia. In Russia, local media that criticize the government can be closed.
13 Freedom for illegal research
If the police arrives at your door in the United States without probable cause or a mandate, you have understood your rights to show them the exit. Americans are entitled to a legitimate expectation of privacy in private homes and some public places.
14 The freedom not to enlist
Although you know many people who have been written in the day, conscription is no longer necessary for US citizens. You are always free to join the service if you wish, but no one can force you to enlist.
15 The freedom to speak your own language
Not an indigenous English speaker? That theoretically should not be a problem in the United States. Since the United States has no official language, you are invited to speak your mother tongue as you see.
16 The freedom to travel
The United States is a large place, but fortunately for those who live there, all you have to do is hit the road to see everything, thanks to the ability of Americans to travel in the United States without visa or documentation .
17 The right to vote
Do you want to see political change happen? You are invited to do it in the United States. With few exceptions, each adult in America is entitled to his vote. On the other hand, in the Vatican, women have no voting rights and women in Saudi Arabia, women have only the right to vote in 2015.
18 The ability to chew gum
If you are eager to refresh after a meal, do not hesitate to blow up a stick of gum-if you are in the United States, that is to say. In Singapore, with the exception of nicotine gum or forms of therapeutic chewing products, the gum is prohibited.
19 The freedom to possess property
Possess a house is part of the American dream. And it is a freedom that you can not enjoy the same way in many other places. In many countries of the world, including Nigeria, where the government technically owns all lands in the country, private land ownership is a more complicated issue than simply hiring a real estate agent and save for a deposit.
20 The freedom to start a business
America is known as the country of opportunity, and it is easy to see why, given the ease of access to the spirit of mind to have a company on the ground here. With relatively few barriers to inscribed and incredible resources available, the United States makes it incredibly easy to create a business.
21 The freedom to fight
If you are physically attacked in the United States, you have the right to defend yourself. However, this is not the case in many parts of the world. In the countries of Armenia in Mali, committing domestic violence is not necessarily a criminal act and, in many others, the victims of assault are arrested.
22 The freedom to go outside alone
Do you want to go outside for fresh air or want to walk in the store? Not a problem if you are in the United States. No matter what sex, you are invited to spend as much time in public as you please without being accompanied by a man if you are on an American floor.
However, in many places in Saudi Arabia, women are discouraged - otherwise banned - to go some places without a male company. In many other countries, it is tacitly understood that women do not want to travel alone.
23 The freedom to move if you are disabled
Countries around the world make attempts to expand the accessibility of people with disabilities, but America leads the burden.
