FREEDOM AND ITS KIND
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
● Realize that “all actions have consequences”. (PPT11/12- IIa5.1)

LET’S IDENTIFY!
 The ability to make choices and
perform those choices.
WHAT IS  The ability to be what we want
FREEDOM? and to decide and create
oneself.
TWO (2) CONCEPTS OF 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.
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.
● 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.
LET’S DISCUSS!
KINDS OF FREEDOM
1. 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.
2. PSYCHOLOGICAL FREEDOM
● 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.
3. MORAL FREEDOM
● refers to using freedom in a manner that upholds human dignity and
goodness.
REMEMBER!
 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.

LESSON 2: ELEMENTS OF
FREEDOM
● Evaluate and exercise prudence in choices

● Realize that:
○ Choices have consequences.
○ Some things are given up, while others are obtained in making decision.
TWO (2) 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 take action on it.
TWO (2) ELEMENTS THAT DEFINE FREEDOM
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:
ANSWER:
TWO (2) IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN THE EXERCISE OF FREEDOM
1. 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.
“SELF-REFLECTION is very important in exercising

freedom”
TWO (2) IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN THE EXERCISE OF FREEDOM
2. SELF-REFLECTION
● allows us to be more rational in making choices, because
sometimes human beings tend to be slaves by their
emotions and moods whenever they act certain things. As
free beings, exercising our freedom responsibly is very
important. Thus, it requires us to reflect on the actions that
we are going to make by considering its possible effects and
the benefits it has to the people affected by it.

LESSON 3: Exercising Freedom in a
Responsible and Beneficial Manner
● Show situations that demonstrate freedom of

choice and the consequences of their choices.
Freedom should be exercised with control and reasonable limits.
● As humans, we enjoy freedom, but we need to understand

that it is not absolute. Meaning, we should exercise our
freedom with control and reasonable limits.
Examples:
1) A student may be first in line in a grocery store but chooses to

give way to an elderly woman next to her.
2) You may be very upset to a friend for losing a thing she borrowed
but refuses to confront her because you already know that she
already feels bad of herself for the thing she had done.
3) You may be very angry with your teacher for scolding you in front
of the entire class, but you refrained from answering back at
him/her since it will be considered as disrespectful act.
Freedom should be exercised with regard for knowledge and truth.
● As a rational beings, it is natural for us to think

before we act. We use our freedom to acquire
knowledge, which in turn are useful in making
right and sound decisions essential in dealing
with our life situations.
Example:
● To correctly answer a multiple-choice item in an

examination, a student has to study his/her
lessons. Otherwise, he/she cannot answer the
test.
Freedom should be exercised with regard for knowledge and truth.
● We should also be equipped with the ability to

acquire information and truthful knowledge
because it will aid us in making wise and informed
choices.
Example:
● In casting our votes during SSG election, we will

not vote to a candidate because of she/he is
attractive or appealing but because she/he is
knowledgeable on the important school issues.
Freedom should be exercised to uphold the freedom of others.
● Freedom is recognized and guaranteed right for

all persons. Meaning, freedom should be enjoyed
by all. But it is important to remember that
freedom should be exercised not as a tool to
restrict the freedom of others, but as a means to
enable others to fully enjoy their own freedom.
Example:
1)A teacher doing his/her class discussion under

the Narra tree instead of having it inside the
classroom.
2)You shared your hard-earned money to cater the
needs of your friend who is in dire needs of it for
the realization of his/her school project.
