Today while students are called up to present their March book assignment, the rest will be completing the following assignments:
Which is more important: freedom or security? In other words, would you rather give up freedoms to be safe, or give up safety to be free? (Write at least half a page.)
A few examples to get you thinking:
- We fence off canals and rivers to keep people to keep people from drowning, but we aren't free to get to them for fishing or swimming.
- We have speed limit laws and seat belt laws and helmet laws for motorcyclists.
- We go through security checks at airports.
- American Fork has a curfew so kids can't stay out late without having an adult with them.
- Your parents make and enforce rules you must follow because they want to keep you safe.
