as a person. Your actions also entails
certain responsibilities . It is possible
for a person to diminish or negate

HOW DOES FREEDOM
SHAPE OUR EXPERIENCES?

act out of his/her own free will and
self determination. This means the
person may decide to act or not to

of his/her own free will.

 HUMAN FREEDOM SHOULD BE
EXERCISED WITH CONTROL AND
RECOGNITION OF REASONABLE
LIMITS

We set limits to our own

freedom and learn to moderate
or control our thoughts,
emotions, and actions
depending on the situation. A
person can even choose to
limits his/her own freedom or
even surrender it entirely if it
will result a greater benefits.
 FREEDOM SHOULD ALSO BE EXERCISED
WITH REGARD FOR KNOWLEDGE AND TRUTH

As rational beings , it is natural for us

to think before we act. We use our
freedom to act and acquire more
knowledge, and we use this
knowledge in order to come up with
decisions and courses of actions when
confronted with difficult situations.
The ability to acquire information and
truthful knowledge regarding a
particular situation is very important,
since it aids us in making wise and
informed choices.
 WE SHOULD ALSO RECOGNIZE
AND UPHOLD NOTONLY OUR INDIVIDUAL
FREEDOM BUT ALSO THE FREEDOM OF
OTHERS

This view has led to the assertion that

freedom is recognized and guaranteed right
for all persons. Many societies identify
certain freedoms that should be enjoyed by
all, as these contribute to the quality of life
of the individual and the welfare of society.
These include the freedom to live and
determine one’s identity; freedom from
slavery and other constraints ; freedom of
speech; and freedom of thought,
conscience, and religion.
