Freedom is one of the most important thing in life...

The U.S. elections have got me thinking about the political regimes we have today. The majority of countries have a chosen democracy as their regime. But there are still some countries that have communism. Because I am from Slovakia I learned about the communist regime in our country. I watched documentaries, heard stories, watched films and learned about it in our history class. I was really moved by a documentary that was about the government snitches. When you did something against the regime you could have been punished severely. But if the crime against the regime wasn’t a big one, you could have been given the opportunity to become a government snitch. You would get paid for accusing people that talked trash about the system or just listened or watched banned material (like American bands or seeing a foreign movie). These people would continue their normal lives and they had to inform to a special department about anyone that did „illegal“ things. So you could never be sure that the person you met isn’t a snitch. You had to be very careful when talking in public because apparently there were many people that were snitches at the time. My father told me that when he was in college one of his roommates was indeed a governments snitch. Can you imagine living with someone that could end your opportunities in the world forever? If you got reported you would get immediately dropped out of college and no one would ever hire you. Well, maybe you could be a cleaning lady but my father would never be where he is today if he wasn’t very careful. And that was very hard at the time because everyone hated the system. Everyone had the urge to talk trash about the government and share their thoughts with the other people. And he was sleeping next to a person that could make his life miserable in so many ways that I am having chills just when I am thinking about it. He would never meet my mother, he would never get into the world of business and he wouldn’t get his degree ( btw he finished college with a red diploma which is the most prestigious you could have achieved). Anyway, I am really happy that the world fought against that regime and that today the most of us can live in the world where you can express yourself and be free. Because freedom is one of the most important thing in life. If you aren’t free, you can never achieve your maximum life potential.
