Project
1.
Find a philosophical definition of freedom and state
your opinion and give reasons.
Freedom of action is
the property of being free from constraints, especially from external
constraints on our actions, but also from internal constraints such as physical
disabilities or addictions. Political freedoms, such as the right to speak, to
assemble, and the limits to government constraints on associations and
organizations such as media and religions, are examples of external freedom.
- In our opinion
this definition of freedom is right, but we disagree because addictions are
addictions until you give up with them and you do whatever you want. At the
same time addictions sometimes don’t let you get rid of them so they don’t let
you be free. Everything depends on how addicted you are and how much willpower
you have.
2. What do you
understand by “fear of freedom”?
What we understand is that when you give too
much freedom to people it is like when you watch Spiderman and they say that a
big power entails a big responsibility,
so big freedom entails big responsibility and
you have fear of it.
3. Find quotations
of famous people about freedom.
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the
oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
-
Martin Luther King
“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the
enemy of growth.”
-
John F.Kennedy
4. What is freedom
for you? Write your point of view.
We think freedom is a kind of lifestyle in which
you can do whatever you want. For example you can create a company, to act
politically in society, to live in any country, etc. But all people can´t have
this lifestyle, for example African people were considered a lower ethnia.
5. Is our society
free nowadays? Find examples of countries where people are not free.
We think our society isn´t free, because the
laws which we have to accept, for example; we can´t kill people, we can´t
steal, etc. For example in Siria they kill people just because they don’t agree
with them.
6. Try to support
your ideas with a piece of news or an article you find in the web.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2015/oct/26/refugees-on-slovenia-croatia-border-drone-video-footage
In this article we can see Sirian people trying
to pass to Europe, but they can pass a only from a few places, an example is
Croatian small cities, and increasingly more cities can´t pass to Europe.
