Document Summary
Keyword assignment #1: freedom is the ability to act, think, or speak what one wishes to exude without the restraint or influence of others; therefore, in a civilized society, absolute freedom does not exist. This is done to protect the individual rights and actions of each person from those who would seek to cause harm or strike down their rights as human beings.

Each person holds a distinctive trait, a specific personality exhibited through language, thought, and action that serves to classify the individual.
