Though the Scots are ready to surrender after seeing the giant and well-prepared English army, William Wallace soon convinces them to keep fighting. He inspires them to risk their lives with just the mere mention of the word, freedom. Why is the concept of freedom so motivating? Why is it so universal? The Scots knew its worth, and everytime I watch this clip, I get chills. Many people do. And that's because we are able to empathize with the value of freedom. Why is freedom so worth fighting for?

When people hear of freedom they don't think of it as all of these individual freedoms like freedom of speech or freedom of the press. When people hear the word freedom they think of being bound by no one and being able to go anywhere and do anything without someone telling them that they can't do that. Freedom is about criticising others and not being labeled a martyr for doing so. Freedom is aboutbeing able to see those you care about without anyone standing in your way. Freedom is more then just a word or a term. It is an emotion that many people have fought over and will continue to fight over not because of the definition of the word freedom, but because of the powerful emotions that the word freedom conjours and pours into peoples hearts.
