I particularly like the freedom to fail. It showed me that failure isn't the end of the world. When one fails, all he/she has to do is to stand and strive for success. I think this is a great book and I recommend it to you adults.

From the five freedom, the freedom to fail was so real. It shows no pressure should be mete on individuals if things doesn't go as planned. The minors need to know as well.

I am proud of the freedom to build. When it reaches a point in a country where anyone, including immigrants, has the freedom to develop their entrepreneurial skills, it is a great step. I believe each one of us has different skills, and together we can improve the economies of our countries.

In discussing "Beyond the Golden Door: Seeing the American Dream Through an Immigrant's Eyes" by Ali Master, choosing the most impactful freedom among the five freedoms listed in the book might vary based on personal values and experiences. For me, freedom of religion stands out as particularly significant.

Freedom of religion is a foundational aspect of the American Dream, allowing individuals to practice their faith without fear of persecution. This freedom is especially poignant for immigrants like Ali Master, who might come from countries where religious persecution is prevalent. The ability to freely express and practice one's beliefs not only provides a sense of security and acceptance but also fosters a diverse and tolerant society.

This freedom is integral to America's identity and is something to be proud of because it highlights the nation's commitment to upholding individual rights and respecting diverse backgrounds. It enables people from various religious and cultural contexts to coexist and contribute to a rich, multifaceted community, which is a cornerstone of the American Dream.

Freedom to fail because success and failure are quite intertwined. Success can equally be birthed from failure through continuous hard work backed with determination. When this knowledge is very much accessible, people won't find it difficult to make decisions or start something new.

I will go for freedom to love. This is because even when we fail we need love from people dear to us to try again. Most times people fail over and over again and never give up because of a single person that believes in them.

I agree that the freedom to fail is important, but I have been taught so strongly that failure is bad that I don't take advantage of that freedom. Success and failure are often beyond our control. However, we can learn from failure and gain valuable lessons from it.

I'll pick the freedom to love. We humans are fragile and our emotions get the best of us most time. Love is real so should it really matter who we feel it for? Understand I am talking about Love and nothing else. Just love.

Hi!

All the freedoms listed were very powerful and needed in our lives. However, out of the five freedoms, I would choose freedom to love. Everyone needs love to function in our lives. Love is the center of our world. Love leads many to positiveness in life. When you feel loved, you feel strengthened and case face life challenges easily.
