Question

definition in your own words; key characteristics: what makes the thing the thing?; word: freedom of movement; examples; non - examples: list things that do not fit the definition to help clarify what it is not.

Explanation:

To complete the Frayer Model for "Freedom of Movement":

Definition in your own words:

Freedom of movement is the right of individuals to travel, relocate, or move within and between areas (like countries, regions) without unjust restrictions, as long as it follows laws (e.g., not violating others’ rights or safety).

Key characteristics:

• Legal/ethical right: Recognized in human rights or legal frameworks (e.g., constitutions, international law like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).
• Voluntary action: Movement is by choice, not forced (e.g., not deportation or imprisonment without cause).
• Geographic scope: Applies to movement within a jurisdiction (e.g., city to city) or across borders (e.g., immigration, emigration) with lawful conditions.
• Limits by law: Restricted only when necessary (e.g., criminal detention, quarantine for public health, or border control for security).

Examples:

• A citizen driving from one state to another in their country without undue police stops.
• A refugee moving to a safe country under asylum laws.
• A student traveling abroad for education with proper visas and documents.

Non - examples:

• A person under house arrest (court - ordered restriction on movement).
• A tourist denied entry to a country due to invalid travel documents (not a violation of freedom of movement, as documents are required by law).
• A prisoner in jail (loss of freedom of movement as a legal punishment for a crime).
