Sacrifice?


Sacrifice: a noun meaning to give up something of value or of personal meaning to help for somebody or something else considered to be of more value or importance. Sacrificing something is a scary thought; whenever a person thinks of having to sacrifice something negative things come to mind first. When a person sacrifices something they typically miss whatever they have given up and experience some kind of loss. Personally, I don't know that I think a person should have to sacrifice freedoms for their country during war; especially when that war is a European War. I realize that in no matter what war, the economy more times than not suffers and people must sacrifice and save money on things that they would ordinarily have the money for. I think that people during a time of war should have to sacrifice physical and tangible things because sacrifice during war is inevitable. However having to sacrifice freedoms such as speech, religion, petition, and so on should not be given up. I believe that no matter where the country is at, laws and amendments about our freedoms should never be sacrificed.
