What Is It? What is Freedom? What is the essence of freedom? -

The ability to make choices and perform those choices. The ability to be what we want and to decide and create oneself.

Two concepts that will help us fully understand freedom: 1. Freedom itself Freedom is commonly characterized as having the capacity without restriction to act or alter. Someone or something is “secure” if they can easily and responsibly do or alter something. An individual or an animal has the right to do things that are not prohibited by other powers, in theory or practice. But freedom, beyond itself, has its particular limits because it is bound by the effects of its acts either to encourage goodness or to destruction to itself or for other people. Example: Your teacher gave you a pen and paper. The goal here is to make these two items useful for you. You can either use the pen to write a letter or draw something on the paper. You can also transform the paper into a paper airplane and write a message on it and throw it in the air until it finally lands to another person’s lap. Using your freedom as an instrument to create action without constraint is its true meaning. 2. Free will Free will is the ability to choose different courses of action without restrictions. If we exercise our free will, we get to decide on things that will lead to results, either good or bad, beneficial or not. The actions that we do depend on the values we uphold and the acceptance and expectations of the community we live in, including family members and friends that we care about. To be precise, free will is our ability to choose things according to our moral reasoning, which can also be related to our previous lesson on selfdetermination or the ability to select on what is right and wrong, that a person’s action determines what kind of person he or she becomes.

KINDS OF FREEDOM 1. Physical Freedom Physical freedom refers to the absence of any physical restraint. The person has the freedom of mobility to go where he or she wants to go. He or she is not impeded in his or her actions by any physical force. Granted that the person has natural limitations, physical freedom enables him or her to act and move in determined manner. You cannot be everywhere at once, but your freedom allows you to move one place to another and to go whenever you want to go. 2. Psychological Freedom Psychological freedom is also called freedom of choice. The person is free to perform actions that he or she considers right and wise. A person is also free to act or not to act. Psychological freedom is innate and cannot be denied to a person. No outside force or influence can compel a person to take action against his or her will. 3. Moral Freedom Moral freedom 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 must use his or her freedom to grow as a person. A person becomes freer when he or she uses freedom well but becomes less free when he or she uses it in a wicked way. Humans have a natural inclination for what is right and moral, and when a person uses his or her freedom to do acts that violates human dignity and goodness, he or she dehumanizes himself or herself and effectively negates human freedom.

Activity 2: My Reflection.

Write your reflection in your activity notebook if you chose to write an essay. Send to our GC if you chose to produce a two-minute video. Listen to (or View) the message of Ruth Chang via Ted Talk on making hard choices through https://www.ted.com/talks/ruth_chang or read the transcript below. You can make a two-minute talk video about your own difficulty in choosing (career path, relationships, studies, etc) and send it to our GC or write a 5 paragraph (300 word) essay on “The Choice I Make”. The idea here is whether you made a good or bad decisions and its effect on you as a person. Have fun and enjoy!

Ruth [Chang-] : How to make hard choices (transcript) According to her rational individuals are not merely discoverers of reasons but creators of them through the activity of commitment and by owning full responsibilities of your choice or decision. She is a philosopher, lawyer and researcher.

Summary People definitely say that they have some hard choices. They think that hard choices are big and hard, it matters to them but they can't choose one because they are stupid. However, the speaker who studies hard choices and is a philosopher, tells us that we shouldn't choose one because there is no best option. It means that we misunderstand hard choices but we have to choose one. 1) If you start with two things that are equally good, and you improve one of them, it now must be better than the other. This is not the case with options in hard choices. 2) You assume that the choice has a good answer that is greater or lesser or equal. However, the value of the choices can't be measured by something. She calls this "on a par." 3) In fact, the alternatives are in the same area and at the same level. It's very different in kind of value but you don't realize.

4) The choice means to create reasons for yourself and make yourself into the kind of person who you want to be. It's not dictated by reasons given to you. The reasons create to you like you became the authors of your own life. In other words, how to make hard choices doesn't have the failure, because you can make yourself in the space of hard choices where you get to exercise your normative power. The power creates reasons for yourself and makes yourself fit the reasons. You can decide your life by yourself. This is the answer on how to make hard choices. You can enjoy it. 10
