Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard's stages can be connected to freedom of speech. In America, citizens have the right to life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However there are people, commonly teens, that abuse these rights. In knowing they're free they may say things that it is not their place to do so, or may even start riots like the recent ones at Keen state College. Theses people know their rights, and therefore think they are free to do anything they please. They are in the Aesthetic stage. Others, such as police officers they know their rights but use their power for the good of society. They comprehend that aesthetes are not truly free because their impulses are controlling them. They believe that the others are "acting off their impulses." Thus, they obtain a spot in the Ethical Stage.
