Freedom is attained only through Communal IdeologyThis paper justifies that notion that freedom is a matter of common perspective and belief rather than a self-judgment. A people standing together can beat any obstacle. We are only free people if we agree and accept that no person controls and determines our fate but rather the actions and steps we make together today. The notion that whether we are free or not depends on an individual rather than the society as a whole is unfounded.
The social constructs within which we exist in guides all our actions. Everyone is guaranteed to forge their path towards attaining freedom and equity only if the ethnic and social groups we are living in agree to be cohesive towards achieving it. People will always fight for their groups if they feel and are motivated to see the inequality and discrimination a multitude is subjected to.
In his speech “I have a dream” Martin Luther persuades American citizens to combat oppression from every state, village, religious group and race. Luther’s view of freedom is therefore based on what these different groups purport and advocate among their members. He further emphasizes that there is need to stand together in brotherhood aimed to foster a common goal. Whether one comes from enslaved groups, slave owners background or jail mates (Luther, 1).
Luther appeals to the different groups in the society to fight for freedom through ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos – “With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together.

.(Luther, 2).” Luther urges the people to continue believing in what is right as they fight the good fight against injustice (Luther, 1). Logos – “When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir” (Luther 1). Luther justifies this notion stating that the American constitution gives everyone equal rights despite the color or gender (Luther, 1). Pathos- “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.” He appeals to the emotions and feelings of Americans to observe peace in order to attain their common goal of freedom (Luther, 2).
Luther’s dream is a dam of America without segregation and injustice. A dream of a place where freedom is available to all despite where they come from. He further emphasizes that this dream can only be archived if everyone puts their hands together whether they are struggling or even being jailed for it (Luther, 2)
Freedom is attained only through Communal Ideology. Therefore, to be free is a matter of what we all believe in and have resorted to accept or dispute. If the specific groups we associate ourselves with think we are free from oppression or vice versa, then that is the direction of our mindsets.
