美国人的自由观

美国日历中最重要的日子是7月4日。自1776年以来，美国人把这个日子作为纪念日来庆祝。每逢这个节日，
游行、野餐和烟火营造出一派欢乐的气象；红、蓝、白的彩带是在模仿星条旗的颜色；充满热情的演讲使美国人
想起了他们的传统。7月4日不仅仅是美国的法定假日，它还代表着美国人的精神支柱---自由。
如果问美国的普通老百姓：“自由为何物？”他们很可能回答说：“自由就是为所欲为。”一提到自由，美
国人通常想到的是个人主义。他们更多地把自己看成是一个人，胜过把自己看成是一个家庭或社会团体的成员。
美国式的民主力求保护个人的权利不受侵犯，保证个人有选择的自由。
隐私权是说明个人权利的很好的例子。在美国，个人自由通常代表拥有个人生活空间的权利。在许多美国家
庭里，小孩都有自己的卧室，父母认为进孩子的房间也要敲门。美国人拜访朋友或亲属时，通常应首先打个电话。
即使和拜访的人非常熟悉，他们也不想打扰人家。对于美国人来说，家庭只包括丈夫、妻子和孩子，所以他们不
喜欢有亲戚或外人干涉他们的私事。如果陌生人询问他们的薪水、年龄、婚姻状况、宗教信仰等，他们就会感到
不快。
在美国文化里，自由还包括平等的意思。独立宣言提出人人平等。对美国人来说，平等是指价值和机会的
均等。每个人都有均等的机会来改善自己的生活。当然，美国远未达到这样一个理想的境界。近年来，美国的
土著人、黑人和移民一直在为自己所受到的不平等待遇而奋力抗争。
自由可以激起美国人的强烈情感，自由的理想把不同种族的人们结合到一起，但美国式的自由能否经得住推
敲却很值得怀疑。还是有人说的好：“你有挥拳打人的自由，但别人却只有鼻青脸肿的自由了”。

American Freedom is a very important day, the calendar of the United States on July 4. Since 1776, the Americans took the day as a day for celebration. During this festival, procession, picnic and pyrotechnics to create a picture of joy and meteorology; Red, blue, Stars and Stripes imitation white ribbons in the color; Americans think of a warm speech to make their traditions. July 4 is not just the United States statutory holidays, it also represents the spiritual pillar of Americans -- freedom. If you ask the ordinary people of the United States : "freedom mean? "They are probably answered : "Freedom is acted. , "a reference to freedom, Americans usually think of individualism. They regard themselves as more of a person rather than to regard itself as a family or community groups. American-style democracy aims to protect the rights of individuals are not violated, and ensure that individuals have the freedom of choice. Privacy and personal rights is a good example. In the United States, usually on behalf of individual liberty have the right to personal living space. In many American families, the children have their own bedroom, parents should hold that their children's room door. Americans to visit friends or relatives, usually should first call on the phone. Even people who are very familiar with and visit, they did not want to disturb others. For the Americans, only family including husband, wife and children. Therefore, they do not like to have relatives or outsiders to interfere in their affair. If strangers asking for their salary, age, marital status, religious belief, they will be upset. In American culture, including freedom of the meaning of equality. Declaration of Independence made equal. For Americans, equality refers to the value and equal opportunities. Everyone has equal opportunity to improve their lives. Of course, the United States is far from an ideal way to achieve this. In recent years, the indigenous people, blacks and immigrants do not always receive equal treatment in their struggle and resistance. Liberal Americans can arouse strong feelings, ideals and freedom of the people into different races together. However, the United States pushed the freedom to be able to withstand the knock very questionable. Or someone said it well : "You have the freedom to beatings with fists, but the freedom of others, only bruises."
