Differences in Freedom
	“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does" ( Sartre, Pg. 233).  Obviously, Jean-Paul Sartre had some radical ideas about freedom. Jean-Paul Sartre believed that human beings live in anguish not because life is unpleasant but because we are “condemned to be free”. Mlk on the other hand, felt that people needed God in their lives to find a purpose in which to use their freedom. I stand with Jean- Paul Sartre’s idea on radical freedom because it forces people to be responsible for their own actions  and to take actions to become who they want to be. However, I do acknowledge that what Sartre and Mlk share in common is a willingness for direct action in the face of injustice.  Overall, it is up to the individual to decide on how they should exercise their own freedom in order to truly discover their place in this world.
	While Mlk has some admirable ideas about what it means to be free, I believe Sartre’s theories exemplify the spirit of freedom. In 13 theories, Stevenson includes an example of Sartre’s idea of freedom when Sartre is visited by a young Frenchman. The French soldier has to choose to join the French forces at the time of the Nazi occupation or to stay at home to be with his mother who lived only for him. Stevenson includes a quote from Sartre who states, “ You are free, therefore choose” ( Sartre, Pg. 239). Sartre reminds us in this quote that we are all responsible for our actions and that our choices affect the people we become. What is also implied by Sartre in this quote is that no moral question ever has a right answer and that we have the freedom to choose what we think is right even in the complex situation.
