property of the person. This means the
human person by nature is a free being
and that is in his or her nature to seek
FREEDOM. An important indication of
human freedom is the ability to make
choices and perform actions. The learner may also share their additional

 Freedom also requires a degree of
control from the person who exercises it.
A person becomes freer when he or she
exercises control over himself or herself,
a person becomes less free when he or
she is no longer in control of himself or
herself and instead controlled by other
forces.

KINDS OF FREEDOM

any physical restraint.

Psychological Freedom: This is called

consequences.

wealthy and influential. However, her
family faced hard times in the previous

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. She has
resorted to borrowing money from
relatives to keep up with her well-off
barkada.
2. Mang Rony’s meat stall has been very
profitable these days. He has been
