CRUZ DISTRICT** **ACOJE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL** **Introduction to Philosophy of Human Person 11** **September 26, 2024** **Freedom** **Lesson 1** **Instruction: COPY THE DISCUSSIO AND COPY AND ANSWER THE ACTIVITY** **Introduction to Freedom** **What is Freedom?** Freedom is a fundamental and intrinsic aspect of being human. It is the power and ability to make choices, determine actions, and shape one's life based on personal decisions. Unlike animals that operate on instinct, humans exercise free will, allowing them to think before acting and make decisions based on reason and judgment​(Intro-to-Philosophy\_Q2\_...). Human freedom is experienced in three main ways: 1. **Physical Freedom** -- The absence of physical restraints, allowing individuals to move freely and act on their desires. 2. **Psychological Freedom (Freedom of Choice)** -- The ability to make choices according to personal beliefs and desires, acting out of one's own will. 3. **Moral Freedom** -- Using freedom in a manner that upholds human dignity and goodness, making ethical decisions that benefit both the self and others​(Intro-to-Philosophy\_Q2\_...). **Why is Freedom Important?** Freedom allows individuals to exercise control over their lives and actions, shaping their future and personal growth. With freedom comes **responsibility**---the obligation to face the consequences of one\'s actions. This combination of **voluntariness** (acting out of free will) and responsibility forms the core of human freedom, guiding individuals toward ethical and responsible decision-making​(Intro-to-Philosophy\_Q2\_...). Freedom also involves setting **reasonable limits** on oneself and making informed decisions. Responsible freedom considers the impact of actions on others and acknowledges the importance of truth and knowledge in decision-making. Activity: ***Assessment*** **Direction:** Analyse the following situations. Give your recommendations on how the persons involve can exercise freedom more responsibly. Write your answers in your activity notebook. 1. Julia's family is well-known for being wealthy and influential. However, her family faced hard times in the previous year. Her father's business closed and they were forced to sell most of their possessions and live a much simpler life. Julia however, wishes to maintain her image among her friends. So she has resorted to borrowing money from relatives in order to keep up with her well-off barkada. 2. Mang Tony's meat stall has been very profitable these days. It turns out that he has been tampering with the weighing scales and has been selling less meat at increased prices. One time, some meat went stale and he decided to mix it with the other fresh meat so he could still sell it. 3. Bernard was asked by his teacher to photocopy handouts and reading materials in their English class. His teacher unknowingly inserted a copy of the final exam in the stack of papers she gave to Bernard. When he saw the copy of the final exam, Bernard quickly took it and place it in his bag. 4. Gladys was very angry when she heard that her friend Julia was spreading mean gossip about her in school. When Gladys found out that Julia has been pretending to be rich when in fact her family is now poor, she contacted her friends and told them about it.  **Republic of the Philippines** **Department of Education** **REGION III-CENTRAL LUZON** **DIVISION OF ZAMBALES** **STA.
