In the media, there is often talk of "freedom of choice". The underlying idea is that all adult, mature individuals can make their own choices. Because they make their own choices, they themselves, and no one else, are responsible for their lives.
Or? No person can be said to be independent of the society he or she lives in. We live in societies that make certain choices easier and others more difficult. And we have different income, power and status. Thus, freedom is limited. And not everyone can make the same choices.
