What is It?

What is 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 According to Merriam Dictionary, it is the quality or state of being free. It is our capacity to choose of what we wanted and an inner awareness of what is right and wrong that is traced to our free will according to Aristotle. It is also an intrinsic and an essential property of a human person which basically means, it is a part of our human nature. Example: Think of yourself as a student, your teacher told you to study your lessons for the day for you will have a long quiz the next meeting. However, as you reached home you find yourself having a good time doing Facebook and online chatting with your friends. Using your freedom, you can either choose to follow your teacher’s advice to study your lessons for your quiz the next morning or continue doing the thing which you find enjoyable. 2. Free will Our free will allows us to decide on things we do depending on the situation. It is our ability to choose between two different possible courses of action, independently. Simply put it, free will is our ability to choose things according to our moral reasoning.

2

To sum it all, our freedom then could trace down in a person’s exercise of his rationality/intellect and free will. Simply that individual actions as it is freely chosen by an individual it then defines who and what kind of person one is. We all are free to choose, to be good person and act on it accordingly or be a bad person and act in a bad way. As our actions and choices reflects us doing what is good and acting on it is what makes you a good person while on the other hand doing the negative will also give a negative impression to an individual. This has been tackled on the previous lesson that selfdetermination or the ability to choose 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 allows 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 bad way. Humans have a natural inclination for what is true and good, 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.

What is It?

There are two elements that define freedom: 1. Voluntariness It is the ability of a person to act of his or her own free will and selfdetermination. A person may decide to do things or not to do it according to his own free will. It also means that even though she/he is not required to do such things he/she could still do it or take action on it. Voluntary acts are free acts which can be assigned a corresponding moral value. One must always remember that in every action we make, in every choice we make there is an equivalent consequence. These consequences affect not just the individual who does the decision but also other people in their surroundings. With that, one must always accept the consequences that results from his or her decisions or actions and take responsibility for them.

2. Responsibility Responsibility refers to the person being accountable for his or her action and their consequences. Taking responsibility can mean either you take responsibility to your action voluntarily or other people will hold you responsible. For example, if you made a bad action it’s either you take responsibility of it or other people will hold you responsible for it.

Example of voluntariness and responsibility Michael invited Ken to a party club. At the club, Ken was very surprised to see his former classmates and some acquaintances. It was very lively, people were dancing, singing and others were drinking and smoking. But, there is something that caught Ken’s attention, a group of people in the corner doing something unusual. And to his surprise, Michael was one of them. He came near to them and Michael immediately offer him a methamphetamine (shabu). At first, he refused knowing that the use of it is illegal. However, with the persistent effort of Michael, Ken tried it. Unexpectedly, police officers came to raid the club. Ken was abducted. Based on this situation, voluntariness was manifested by Ken’s personal acceptance of the illegal drug because he uses his own freewill. Responsibility comes with Ken’s choice of action. Meaning, he had to ...
