 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 self-
determination 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.

8
 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.

 What Is It?

Two elements that define freedom:

1. Voluntariness

It is the ability of a person to act of his or her own free will and self-determination.
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 act 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 choices 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
doing 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
accountable for it.

Example of voluntariness and responsibility

Mira wanted to earn extra income to support her studies. That is why she joined
an online business that offer to sell beauty products and vitamins. At first, Mira was
making money enough to support her school needs like fare and food for one week. Her
demands grew better, so, she wanted to earn more by recruiting members to join her
company she knew nothing of its origin. Later, she found out that this company was a
hoax and several classmates she enlisted and even teachers she enticed to buy warned
that her products have harmful effects to a person’s kidney and liver. Still she continued
selling because she needed the money badly without considering the health of her
customers. One day, Mira was apprehended by the authorities for selling counterfeit
products.

This situation tells us about volunteerism on the part of Mira who at first aspires for
extra income to support her schooling by engaging in an online business which is not
bad. But when she learned about the company/s fraudulent and counterfeit products, she
has the responsibility to leave the company and report it to the authorities.

13
 Discuss:

1. What kind of freedom does Mira exercise?

2. How does truthful knowledge contribute to or limit Mira’s freedom?
3. How can you show respect for the freedom of others?

There are significant factors to consider in the exercise of freedom. These are
Prudence and Self-reflection.

• Prudence is the ability to govern and discipline oneself with the use of reason;
it is having caution and giving good judgments in making decisions. Making hard
choices is an exercise of freedom. But freedom should also be based on truthful
knowledge and wise reasoning. Hence, we should practice self-reflection on
every decision we make.

• Self-reflection allows each person to analyze his life both in small and big
details in terms of the decisions, actions and choices he make Browning, G
(2009). It is a deeper form of learning where if practiced with higher sense of
wise judgement and keen perception, the experiences he makes are more
meaningful and serve as guide for improved and informed decisions, actions and
choices.
