10. WHAT MAKES US FREE?
HOW DOES FREEDOM
SHARE OUR
EXPERIENCES?
LET US WATCH THIS!

11. TWO ELEMENTS OF
FREEDOM!
•VOLUNTARINESS
•RESPONSIBILITY

12. VOLUNTARINESS!
-It refers to the ability of a person to act out his or her
free will and self-determination.
-It means that a person may decide to act or not to act,
and these decisions are made out of his or her own free
will.
-It also means that a person may act even if he or she is
not required or called to take action.

13. RESPONSIBILITY!
-It refers to the person being accountable for
his or her actions and consequences. As a free
being, the person must accept the
consequences of his or her action and take
responsibility for them.

14. •Voluntariness and responsibility go hand-
in-hand in determining a person’s
freedom. In any situation where a person
is forced to do an action against his or her
will, it follows that he or she cannot be
held responsible for his or her involuntary
actions.

15. WE CAN THEREFORE EXAMINE OUR ACTIONS, HABITS,
AND BEHAVIOR BY ASKING OURSELVES THE
FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
•What should I do?
•Why should I do it?
•What will happen if I do it?
•How will my actions or behavior affect myself,
others, and my surroundings?
•Will my actions or behavior be considered correct,
proper, beneficial, and moral?

16. LET ME THINK?
WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY,
“FREEDOM IS EXPERIENCED
THROUGH THE ACT OF MAKING
CHOICES”?

17. When we make the choice to do a particular action,
we can never go back and redo our actions and make
another choices. Real life is not a movie where we can
stop and rewind events and get a “second take” on
the situation. Therefore it is very important that we
exercise caution and prudence and reflect on our
possible courses of action. That is why,
SELF-REFLECTION is vital in the proper exercise of
human freedom.
