Eugene V. Debs stated that, “years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then…while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
H.L. Mencken asserted that, “the average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.”
Freedom House has set forth to gauge the state of freedom around the world.
Your assignment is to assess the state of freedom in the one AP country study assigned to you using the data provided in the Freedom House index. You do not have to write an essay (you’re welcome). Rather, come to class with notes (which I will collect) and be prepared to present and discuss the state of freedom in the country assigned to you.
Then read the most recent FH report of the country to which you were assigned. Take notes and be prepared to present what you learned when we meet in class. Notes will be collected for homework.
