Question

Discussion Question: "Although some European observers believed that Native Americans embodied freedom, most reached the conclusion that Native Americans did not know what freedom was because they were 'too free.' On what basis did they make the claim?" In light of this supposed reality, I'd like you also to "compare and contrast European values and ways of life to that of the Indians. Be sure to look at religion, views on property ownership, gender relations, and views of freedom." - From Eric Foner, Give Me Liberty, Page 44.

Answer 1

Answer: It is true that Native American embodied freedom as it were free from the starting and if we talk about the development then we can see that there is far more better development as compared to any other countries. The native Americans doesn't know about the freedom as they were too free to do the things. They never have to be the slave of the other countries.

Comparison between European values and indian values is the most vast topic as there is alot of difference between the two. Indian culture is totally different from that of European countries. If we talk about the gender equality then still in India women are fighting for their rights. Although there is little progress in these coming years but not as much as the woman of European countries women have.

India is country of mutli culture, there is diversity in culture so as people. They celebrate different kinds of festivals, have various kinds of beliefs and cultural values. But still in the view of freedom, India is still in cage of its own situations. There is more development needed to become as one like of European countries.
