MODULE 1 FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY
WEEK 1 AND WEEK 2
Week 1
Positive freedom
It is not just about the absence of coercion or interference. It is more than just being
let alone by others. It is the kind of freedom that requires active effort on the person who is
said to be free. The effort exhausted in the control or mastery of themselves (B. Corpuz, ET.
Al, 2016, p. 77 to 81).
Negative freedom
It is the freedom from any block, coercion of interference. By interference, it means
something that is intentionally imposed on the person. A person is negatively free to the
degree to which no human being interferes with his activity: to the extent that he enjoys
unimpeded and uncoerced choice (B. Corpuz, ET. Al, 2016, p. 77 to 81).
