“A person’s freedom
ends where another
man’s freedom begins.”
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
As a free human being, “he is
responsible not only to his self
but to the community. To be
free means to be responsible
of one’s existence”. (Amizola
et al., 2016)

The people around you
can support you but it is
always you who are going
to decide.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
“A person is free but freedom
does not mean a license to do
anything he or she wants. A
person is free but he or she
does not exist alone.” This is
the reason why man’s
freedom is limited.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
He cannot just do anything
that he likes to do. He needs
to think of the other
individual.
“I am condemned to be free.”
-John Paul Sartre

Freedom &
Choice
Our capacity to choose is as
precious as our lives.
Living a life where you are deprived
of your freedom is not living at all.
It is worse than being put into jail.
Hence, according to Sartre, “it is
through choice that man lives an
authentic human life.”
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Freedom &
Choice
“The act of choosing or the ability
to choose is valuable because it
gives the human person the reason
the make deliberate actions out of
motives that reveal his autonomy
as an individual.” (Caraan, 2016)
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Freedom &
Choice
“If a person can choose, then that
person can be held responsible over
the consequences of his actions.
Hence, the person becomes
prudent with the choices he
makes.” (Caraan, 2016)
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Freedom &
Choice
In making a choice, we need to
consider lots of things and the
action is done, the result of the
actions, the consequence after the
act is done.

Always remember freedom affects
others.
Our decisions affect other people’s lives
whether we are aware of these effects or
not.
The consequences of our choices affect
not only us, but everyone else that is
directly or indirectly involved in the
context of our decision. (Sibs)

For example, Mario decided to cut his
class knowing that he played a vital
role in his presentation that day. Since
he is not around, the teacher gives
everyone a low grade because they
failed to present. With his decision,
others were affected.

This consequence may be good or

factors, the doer’s intention, how

Importance of Prudence in
all Choices
Everything that happened cannot
be changed and undone.
So, before making decisions think
a thousand times for us not to
regret.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Importance of Prudence in
all Choices
“To evaluate and exercise prudence in
choices means to be careful before
completely making up one’s mind about
an important decision. It is to avoid
making a big mistake that may result in
an unmanageable problem. Most of
these include choices that could have
lifelong consequences.” (Fuertes, J, n.d)
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Importance of Prudence in
all Choices
In making a wise choice: first,
“one should determine the ugly
effect to avoid the greater risks
and second, make it sure that all
available options have been
criticized and thought carefully.”
