Freedom, Consequence and Results

We all agree that freedom is paramount to man's existence. The consequence of freedom is that Human beings contribute to the well being of the broader society they live. The results are there in many liberal western democracies in the West. However, this may be only one part of the story. Is Liberalism leading to the ultimate stagnation of freedom? It is quiet safe to argue that it might, considering the troubles that the world is facing.

Terrorism and economic recession seems to be leading to stagnation in this concept of freedom. Terrorism is accelerating the decline of freedom. Several liberal democracies have contemplated laws which puts several sections of the population under the scanner. The recent economic depression seems to be destroying the reasoning of the people. Already tense with terrorism, they are now worried about the future of the economy.

The consequence factor is being tested here. Ther are some discrepencies in the system which is making people paranoid. Is it the economy or the unpredictability of Terrorism? It should be argued that people have not lost their sense of reason and rationality altogether. People are going on about their daily business normally, but they are worried.

Taking freedom for granted has to be stop now. The era of vigilant freedom has to come. It is too much to expect anything from the media, because they are caught up in their own commercial tangle. Since, economics and business are the main aims of majority of the media firms, the watchdog role is out of the window. Nobody expected that freedom might take the bite off the media. Freedom of this time must be taken up by Rational Citiznes, within the purview of common goodness.
