GROUP 3

ALEX - XABIER - JON - GORKA


 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.
