Module Content

  • Understanding Freedom: The most common understanding of freedom is the absence of restraints, but this is not a complete definition. Freedom is also about healthy bodies, free will, spontaneous tendencies, the possibility of choice or indifference.
  • Freedom and Limitation: Freedom is not absolute. Actions and choices have consequences on oneself, other people and the environment. If these actions hurt others, your freedom is thus limited by others' freedom. Freedom ends when another person's freedom overlaps it.
  • Freedom and Choice: A person's capacity to choose is valuable, giving the individual autonomy and making them responsible for their actions. Choices lead to consequences and responsibility.
  • Consequences and Responsibility: All actions have consequences, intentional or not. Responsible individuals take ownership of their actions and their results. Mature individuals consider the effect their decisions and actions have on others.
