Freedom rests from our realization that we exist and from here we create the
meaning of our life. Metaphorically, freedom is whatever floats your boat, if it
doesn't sink mine. It is the right to do as you wish, so long as it does not harm
others' ability to exercise their right to do as they wish. It has to have certain self-
preserving restrictions - this is essentially the ironic restriction that must be in place
for everyone in a society to be equally free.

The module will start with a pre-assessment which will adjudge your prior
knowledge on the topic. Series of activities and discussions will encourage you to
explore and understand more about the topic. Through this module, the objectives
below are desired.

FREEDOM
FREEDOM is an intrinsic and essential property of the person. This means that the
human person by nature is a free being and that it is in his or her nature to seek
freedom.
- An important indication of human freedom is the ability to make choices
and perform actions. Our freedom to act sets us apart from other beings.

Let’s compare how animals and human persons behave to get a better
understanding of freedom.
We see some animals behave like human beings because they seem to perform
actions in response to commands.

5
Example: A well-trained dog can perform certain tasks on command such as “stay”
or “fetch” because it has been trained and conditioned to perform them. The same
cannot be said about human beings, you cannot just approach a stranger, toss
him/her a ball, and say “Fetch!”. A person will not respond automatically to the
command “fetch!” because he/she is not conditioned to obey like a dog.

You expect your dog to always respond in the same way to your commands. With
us humans, our inherent freedom makes us very dynamic creatures and our
actions do not necessarily follow a set pattern.
Example: Your mother may ask you to do the laundry one day and you will follow
her instruction. The following week, however, you may decide not to do the laundry
when told because you feel lazy. The week after, you may decide to do the laundry
without being told. These actions indicate that you are exercising your freedom.

Freedom is also understood as the power to be what you want to be and ability to
decide and create yourself. Though we have certain inherent traits such as physical
attributes and temperament, many of the characteristics that define our personality
are often a product of our choices. Our talents, for instance, are developed to their
fullest only if we choose to dedicate time and effort to improve them. Our
preferences and views are other aspects of our personality that we freely adopt.
You may have also imagined yourself as a successful professional in the future.
Your nature as a human person gives you the ability to imagine that future. Your
freedom, meanwhile, gives you the ability to strive to achieve that goal.

Freedom is rooted in the human person’s self-determination and the exercise

of intellect and free will. It means that a person’s every action is freely determined
and these actions define him or her. We can choose to be a good person and to
act in a good way. A good act makes a person better while its opposite has a
negative impact on him/her as a person. This is the nature of Self-determination:
that a person’s actions determine what kind of person he/she becomes.

Look at the situation below. Marco, a grade 12 student, is carrying a heavy load
of books along the hallway when he suddenly loses his balance and drops all the
books.

Freedom gives us the choice to undertake one of these possible actions. It also
enables us to come up with new choices. Freedom requires a degree of control
from the person who exercises it. A person becomes more free when he or she
exercises control over himself/herself. On the other hand, a person becomes less
free when he/she is no longer in control of himself/herself and is instead controlled
by other forces.

Example: Persons suffering from addiction to certain substances

People who are denied their freedom by other individuals, groups, and institutions
are dehumanized. For instance, Slavery (this is a dehumanizing act because a
person is forced to work for life without the possibility of ever leaving a life of
bondage.) Another example is, a person who is imprisoned because he/she is
denied his/her freedom and is confined to prison life. And that same person
(verdict) also dehumanize his/her victim (person whom he/she wronged.)

10
KINDS OF FREEDOM:

1. PHYSICAL FREEDOM – It refers to the absence of any physical

restraint. The person has the freedom of mobility to go where he or she
wants to go. Your freedom allows you to move from one place to another
and to go wherever you want to go.
2. PSYCHOLOGICAL FREEDOM – It is also called freedom of choice.
The person is free to act or not to act. This is innate and cannot be denied
a person because no outside forces or influences can compel a person
to take action against his/her free will.
3. MORAL FREEDOM – It refers to using freedom in a manner that
upholds human dignity and goodness. Freedom is not an object that a
person may use in whatever way he or she pleases. A person becomes
more free if he/she uses freedom well, but becomes less free when
he/she uses it in a bad way.
WHAT MAKES US FREE? HOW DOES FREEDOM SHAPE OUR
EXPERIENCES?

2 ELEMENTS THAT DEFINE FREEDOM:

1. Voluntariness – It refers to the ability of a person to act out his or her

own free will and self-determination. This means that person may decide to
act or not to act, and these decisions are made out of his/her own free will.
It also means that a person may act even if he or she is not required or
called to take action.

Let’s analyze this scenario and figure out how voluntariness was expressed
in the situation.

Mang Lito was walking down the street when he suddenly saw a boy crossing the busy
road. The boy was chasing after a ball that had bounced off into the road. The boy
had his eyes on his ball and did not realize that there was oncoming traffic on the road.
At the same time, a taxi was passing along the road. The taxi was about to hit the boy
when Mang Lito decided to take action, ran across the road, ang grabbed the boy to
safety.

11
Now, reflect on your own experiences or actions. Have you ever made a voluntary
action to address a bad situation? If yes, did you choose to act or not? Why?

________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
______

2. Responsibility – It refers to the person being accountable for his/her actions

and their consequences.

Example: Going back to the situation presented earlier, If Mang Lito was able to
rescue the boy from being hit by the car, he could take responsibility for his heroic
action. The people who saw his act may regard him as a hero and express
admiration for him. On the other hand, If Mang Lito was unable to save the boy in
time, the taxi driver could be held responsible for hitting the boy. Mang Lito could
even hold himself responsible for failing to save the boy.

Without this two elements, human freedom is diminished, and the person makes
imperfect actions and unwise decisions which may have negative effects on the
self and others.

We can therefore start to examine our actions, habits, and behavior by asking
ourselves the following questions:

What should I do?

Why should I do it?

What will happen if I do it?

How will my actions or behavior affect my self, others, and my surroundings?

Will my actions or behavior be considered correct, proper, beneficial, and moral?

12
Another reality that we have to face as we exercise our freedom is the fact that
freedom is experienced through the act of making choices. Having the ability
to choose and enact a course of action does not automatically mean that we should
take action every time. When we make choice to do a particular action, we can
never go back and redo our actions and make another choice.

Real life is not a movie where we can stop and rewind events and get a “second
take” on the situation. Therefore, it is very important that when confronted with
choices, we exercise caution and prudence and reflect on our possible courses of
action. Self-reflection is vital in the proper exercise of human freedom. As free and
rational beings, we must recognize the importance of exercising freedom
responsibly. This requires us to reflect on our actions, consider their effects, and
make the proper choices regarding the most beneficial decisions or actions.
