Abstract: Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without any constraint. Something is “free†if it can change easily and is not constrained in its present. There are many types of freedom. One among them is social freedom. It simply meant there is pressure or restrictions from the social institution as well as other social organizatons. We feel free to behave without any fear or favour. Our all behaviour in society is not free; we have a lot of inhibitations and restrictions, that affect our personality.
