In The Ethics of Ambiguity, Simone de Beauvoir calls for action against social injustices. De Beauvoir states that once marginalized people have the ability to break the boundaries that limit them, they must do so to take control of their situation. De Beauvoir states: “when a possibility of liberation appears, it is a resignation of the freedom not to exploit this possibility, a resignation that implies dishonesty and which is a positive guilt” (Beauvoir). We were born into a world that is not our choice, but we have a responsibility to leave a world that we helped create and improve. In thought Memo 14, I state that in order not to lose freedom one must reject the tensions of one's situation at every possible moment. Now, at the end of my current journey through philosophy, I must apply this to the blatantly intrusive constraints from which so many suffer. I must be distinct in choosing what to defend and what I allow to continue unquestioned in our society. Choosing to look the other way and choosing not to push the social injustices that have become normalized means we condone this practice. The gravity of choosing not to act is just as immense as the gravity of choosing to act. The immense gravity of choosing inaction is greater
