Preferences in sentences

Hi, I was wondering if there's any difference in meaning in the following sentences: "Society owes individuals their freedom." " Society owes every individual his or her freedom." If both sentences are grammatically correct, is there a preference? Also, I was slightly confused if I should say, "Society owes individuals his or her freedom," but I figured individuals is plural. Thanks! I arrived to America about 7 years ago, and I'm still shaky on some of the rules.

Preferences differ from person to person, of course. I'd say "Society owes every individual his freedom". CJ
