Discussion
The American students mostly thought of different freedoms protected by the US government: freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, etc. "Choice" was also an important word because freedom of choice is a big deal in public debates and everyday life. I think the French students though of more abstract things; emotions like "pride" and "joy". There were some similarities between the negative associations with "freedom," mostly alluding to certain freedoms not being a realitiy (freedom as an illusion.)
What kinds of phrases or slogans are associated with "freedom"?
Are there any "freedoms" that are major sources of debate?
