 HUMAN ACTS VS. ACTS OF HUMAN
Human Acts and Acts of Human are related concepts, but they have distinct meanings and contexts:

These are actions performed with In contrast, acts of humans refer to actions
knowledge, free will, and moral that occur without the exercise of reason or
understanding. moral judgment.
Human acts are deliberate and intentional,
These include involuntary actions, reflexes,
reflecting the individual's ability to make

choices based on reason and ethical
For instance, blinking or flinching in
considerations.
For example, choosing to help someone in response to a loud noise are acts of human,
need is a human act because it involves as they do not involve conscious thought or
conscious decision-making and moral ethical deliberation
reasoning.
 FREEDOM
Freedom, or free will, is the ability to make choices
without coercion or external constraints.
It is a fundamental aspect of personhood, as it allows
individuals to act according to their values and beliefs.
The concept of freedom is closely linked to moral
responsibility; if individuals are free to choose, they
can be held accountable for their actions.
However, discussions about freedom also consider
the influence of external factors, such as societal
norms and personal circumstances, which can impact
an individual's ability to make truly free choices.
 KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge plays a crucial role in distinguishing
human acts from acts of human.
It involves awareness and understanding of facts,
concepts, and the consequences of one's actions.
In moral philosophy, knowledge is essential for
accountability; individuals must possess the
necessary knowledge to make informed decisions.
For example, a person who understands the
implications of their actions is more likely to be held
responsible for them than someone who acts out of
ignorance.
 CONSCIENCE
Conscience is the inner sense of right and wrong that
guides an individual's moral decisions.
It is shaped by personal experiences, cultural
influences, and ethical teachings.
Conscience plays a vital role in human acts, as it helps
individuals evaluate their choices and actions in light
of moral principles.
A well-formed conscience can lead to ethical
behavior, while a poorly informed conscience may
result in misguided actions.
The development of conscience is an ongoing
process, influenced by reflection, education, and
dialogue with others.
