You are going to read an article about Traveling during COVID. Seven sentences have been removed from the article.

Choose from the sentences 1-8 the one which fits each gap (1-7).

There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.


(1)____________________ The connection between freedom and responsibility may hold the key to the solution.

Nowadays, this is a popular question. The urge to say “yes” or “no” misses the chance to separate the concerns confronting travelers, such as the fact that our freedom to travel brings with it a personal responsibility – as it has always done.

(2)__________________ The noise of the pre-COVID travel party and the freedom cocktail we all shared drowned out most of the discussion about personal responsibility in travel.

Then COVID-19 arrived and put a huge halt on everything, even our preconceptions. It deprived us of travel and handed up some forced introspection. It also appears to have duped us into believing that some of the ethical concerns behind our travel selections are novel when, in fact, they are not.

As our personal health and well-being have become more prominent, so has the health and well-being of others — something that should have been at the top of everyone’s priority list all along.

(3)_______________________ That freedom is accompanied by a sense of duty to ourselves and others. We have the option of ignoring that duty. If we do, we gradually – and generally quietly – undermine their liberties.

(4)______________________ We all live in rubbish if we toss trash on our streets and everyone else does the same. We crash if we stroll down the sidewalk as if it were ours alone, and others do the same.

Similar dynamics are at work when we travel, although the playing field is a little larger.

The broader lesson in Frankl’s remark as it pertains to travel is that while we exercise our freedom, the care and responsibility we choose to carry really shapes, meaning, and values our lived experience. (5)____________________________

However, the work pays off. Do the right thing while seeking pleasure and experiencing altered states of consciousness (yes, that is what we do when we travel), and your journey will be more meaningful because you have cared about others.
This happens all the time, whether it’s in the context of COVID-19, climate change awareness, or wandering the streets of a new city.

(6)_____________________ Perhaps we should recognize that it is difficult to live a fully ethical life. If that is our objective, we will achieve fatigue. Instead, perhaps we should forgo purity and perfection and do our best by being mindful of the consequences of our actions on others.

We may begin by thinking, caring, and respecting one another. We may devote a few cycles to educating ourselves, conducting research, raising awareness, and acting on some of what we learn. (7)_______________________
