Lesson 5: Freedom of the Human Person
Freedom is innate to human person; freedom allows us to enjoy the life given to
us. It gives us the ability to choose what the best is for ourselves. In this module, you will be
able to understand and learn more the value of freedom and how important it is to use our
freedom responsibly in a manner that it will be of good not just for yourself but also for
others.

What I Know (Pre-Test):

Activity 1: 10 points
Picture Analysis.
Analyze the picture below and answer the questions asked.
Write your answers in your activity notebook.

1. What do you think is the message the picture below is trying to convey?
• In my opinion, if you do a good thing it will return good things also and if you do
bad things it will return the same too. We must be careful in making a decision,
always choose to do what is right. Never be the cause of someone's else downfall,
lift yourself and it all will have the real success. Each person takes responsibility
for their actions because your actions will define on your future.

2. How do you think does the picture relates to the previous lesson?
• Based on what I have learned in the previous lesson, freedom is deciding and
acting the way we want it, whether it will cause harm or prosperity. Once we
made a decision there is no turning back, so we should always reflect first on the
possible outcomes of the choices that we are going to make. If you are not free to
make decisions for what you do, you cannot be held responsible for the actions
impelled by an outside force. Every decision made by a free mind is morally
right or wrong according to its own choice of values.

What I Can Do
Reflection: Write your answer on the space provided. 10 Points

1. Reflect on your past experiences and identify a moment when you believed you had “no
choice” regarding your actions or decisions, or you made a choice that you eventually
regretted. Reevaluate the situation and how important is it to apply prudence in making a
choice.

When I was five years old, I use to visit my grandparents in Santa Ana Cagayan Valley.
I love my grandparents a lot, especially my grandfather, whenever we visit, he suddenly
grabs me and kisses my forehead. When the weather is good, we visit the nearest island
to go for a picnic. I remembered that I still waiting for my grandpa to come back after
they go fishing. Until one day he suddenly died, it’s been ten years since I last visited my
grandparents. If I had known this would happen, I should visit more often. The fact
that I couldn’t visit my grandpa because we having financial problems at that time is
my biggest regret. I will never get to click any photo with him. I won’t be able to ask
how is he doing or call him to let him know that “I love you Tatang”. He won’t be able
to touch me, hug me, make me laugh to everything I say. I know a lot of people have lost
someone dear to them but I am hating the fact that you will remain as a reflection of
memories, perceived only through old photos and recollection of your thoughts and all.
The most important is your decision reflects on your past experiences and identity a
moment when you believed you had no choice regarding your actions or decisions or
you made a choice that you eventually regretted.
