Freedom Vs Safety

Now that we've finally got PARCC out of the way.  We can focus on our Freedom VS Safety unit.  Here we will explore what makes up a "perfect society."  We will decide which is more important: freedom or safety?  How do we balance the two in one society?  We will be reading dystopian fiction by Ray Bradbury as well as reading the novel, The Giver.
