The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers
freedom
noun: something (see more)
It can be like this:
Someone (e.g. Danielle) can think like this about many things:
If I want to do something, I can do it. Other people can’t say to me “I don’t want you to do it, because of this you can’t do it.”
If I don’t want to do something, I don’t have to do it. Other people can’t say to me “I want you to do it, because of this you have to do it”
This is good for Danielle.
It is bad if someone can’t think like this about many things.
"I love the freedom of living in a campervan. I can go anywhere, do anything I want to."
"Academic freedom is important to universities"
"Jackie was so glad to have freedom from her parents when she moved out."
