Balance between security and Freedom

there is a big difference between security and freedom.... freedom is something that you can stretch and do what you feel and what you want to do...security is something that controls to much freedom...but in all cases there has to be a balance between the two or the world would be like a rollercoaster ride...the balance has to be the same on both sides so that we can be free and do what we like with the right boundaries guiding us...Security should only be there when freedom gets out of control but security should never try to out rule freedom...Freedom is something that was given to us...written in the constitution and agreed by the government...security on the other hand was more recommended then given...Security is something that is put in malls so that are safety is ensured to the people in the mall.... but freedom was willingly given to us and for us to chose how we want to use our freedom...now obviously we need security for people who think that freedom is a gift instead of a privledge...That's why we have jails so that the people who think that its a free country with no rules then thats just stupid...i think that our security is our laws...and that when you do cross those laws then the punishment you get for it is well deserved unless the punishment is too harsh...i think that the punishment should match the crime... i mean there are some people who use freedom as an excuse just to get out of someting stupid... like if you do something to someone and they dont approve and they tell you to do something and then you go "it's a free country" then that just doesnt make any sense...the security and freedom in itslef balance eachother out just becasue of the definitions are the complete opposite... i mean Freedom means to be free no restrictions...and Secutrity means the exact opposite...so this is what i think that the balance between freedom and security is

amendments........

1st Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I respect this amendment and think that it has a big role in our society and I think that to a certain extent that they actually do follow through with this amendment and the fact that we have a certain amount of room for freedom of speech because if we were free then we would have the right to stand outside like criminal acts and say that this is wrong with out cops coming and telling us that we cant.... I really strongly believe in the religious one that they cannot base anything on one religion because then that would affect the whole freedom speech and would totally contrdict what is said in the rest of the amendment...

This picture represents rebellion because it looks like they are fighting for something that they believe in and are fighting against something....It almost looks like they're in a prison and are coming together to rebell against something bigger than them...
