It is important to value the freedom you enjoy. Maybe you like to go out with your friends, make decisions for yourself and express your opinions. In order to do all of these things, you must be free. As you will see throughout this unit, there are many people in the world who have been denied such freedom.
Watch the music video for the song ‘Freedom’ by Pharell Williams and make a note of all of the images shown that are associated with freedom or a lack of freedom.
Hold on to me Don’t let me go Who cares what they see Who cares what they know? Your fi rst name is Free Last name is Dom We choose to believe In where we’re from
Man’s red fl ower It’s in every living thing Mind, use your power Spirit, use your wings Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom Freedom Freedom
Hold on to me Don’t let me go Cheetahs need to eat Run, antelope Your fi rst name is King Last name is Dom Cause you still believe In everyone
When a baby fi rst breathes When night sees sunrise When the whale hunts in the sea When man recognizes
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom Freedom Breathe in
We are from heat The electric one Does it shock you to see He left us the sun? Atoms in the air Organisms in the sea The son and yes, man Are made of the same things
