9 November - World Freedom Day
Freedom is the ability for you to do whatever you want right up until the point where what you want to do infringes on the rights of others.
The ancient Greeks pioneered free speech as a democratic principle. The ancient Greek word “parrhesia” means “free speech,” or “to speak candidly.” The term first appeared in Greek literature around the end of the fifth century B.C.
Declared by then US President George W. Bush, World Freedom Day was created to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. Freedom means different things to different nations. The five freedoms it protects: speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government. Together, these five guaranteed freedoms make the people of the United States of America the freest in the world.
