What comes to your mind when you hear the word FREEDOM?
WHAT IS 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.
Freedom is also understood as the power to be what you want to be and the ability to decide and create something for yourself.
Freedom also requires a degree of control from the person who exercises it.
THREE TYPES OF FREEDOM
Physical Freedom – refers to the absence of any restraint.
Psychological Freedom – is also called freedom of choice.
Moral Freedom – refers to using freedom in a manner that upholds human dignity and goodness.
TWO ELEMENTS THAT DEFINE FREEDOM
Voluntariness – refers to the ability of a person to act out of his or her own free will and self-determination.
Responsibility – refers to the person being accountable for his or her actions and their consequences.
HOW FREEDOM IS EXERCISED
Human freedom should be exercised with control and a recognition of reasonable limits.
Freedom should also be exercised with regard for knowledge and truth.
We should also recognize and uphold not only our personal freedom, but also the freedom of others.
