Romeo And Juliet Freedom Analysis

Today we are given a privilege to make our own choices. Whether it is as simple as choosing what you want to wear, or what career you would like to pursue. Every day we make these decisions unconsciously. If one day, this privilege is taken away from us, we would not know what to do and how to act upon it. It is essentially a privilege that every person in this world desires. In America and the majority of this world, if we didn 't have the option to choose our limitations and restrictions, this world would not be shaped like how it is today.
