Establishing a purpose for the lesson
Imagine you won a big contest, and you
were asked to choose just one of the
following prizes:
A.a luxury car with a non-transferable contract
B. a 4-year college educational scholarship at any school in
the Philippines
C. a 1-month all-expense paid trip to three European

• The power or right to
act, speak, or think as
you want without
hindrance or restraint is
called freedom.
Defining Freedom of Choice and its Limits
The ability to exercise one's freedom in any manner is called freedom of
choice. By law, all human beings are entitled to make decisions for
themselves in whatever way they choose to.
•The only exception to this rule is when an absolute choice harms or delimits the self
and others.
•It can be compared to a cause and effect relationship where a decision concludes
with a corresponding effect on the person or the environment.
•Freedom of choice also includes the way one acts towards another. All forms of
action, therefore, are brought about by a person's decision to accomplish them.
•All decisions, big or small, have corresponding consequences which may be good or
bad.
FAMOUS PHILOSOPHERS THAT MADE US REALIZE THAT ALL
ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
Aristotle: Power Of Volition or The Power Of Choosing
• He said, “If there were no intellect, there would be no will.”
• It means that the will of humanity is an instrument of free of
choice. It is the power of everyone to be good or bad, worthy or
worthless.
St. Thomas Aquinas: Love Is Freedom
• He emphasizes that love is the one to govern humanity’s life.
• For him “God Is Love”, so LOVE is the guiding principles of
humanity toward his self-perception and happiness.
• “ANG PAG-IBIG AY ANG GABAY NG PRINSIPYO NG SANGKATAUHAN TUNGO SA
KANYANG PAGKAUNAWA SA SARILI AT KALIGAYAHAN.”
FAMOUS PHILOSOPHERS THAT MADE US REALIZE THAT ALL
ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
St. Thomas Aquinas: Spiritual Freedom
•We are both material and spiritual that we have conscience because of
our spirituality.
Jean Paul Sartre: Individual Freedom
•From the principle existence precedes essence.
•Satre emphasizes the importance of free individual choice, regardless
of the power other people to influence and coerce our desires, beliefs
and decisions.
•To be human, to be conscious, is to be free to imagine, free to choose,
and be responsible for ones life.
THEORY OF SOCIAL CONTRACT
Social contract, in political philosophy, an actual or
hypothetical compact, or agreement, between the ruled
and their rulers, defining the rights and duties of each.
In primeval times, according to the theory, individuals
were born into an anarchic state of nature, which was
happy or unhappy according to the particular version.
They then, by exercising natural reason, formed a
society (and a government) by means of a contract
among themselves.
THREE PHILOSOPHERS WHO HAVE GREATEST
INFLUENCE ON SOCIAL CONTRACT THEORY
•You do not have many friends in school, but one fraternity—known for their
hazardous activities—is recruiting you to be part of their brotherhood.
The Consequences of Making Choices
Because making choices involves various options, it
should be realized from the beginning that some things
will eventually be given up in exchange for another.
Before coming up with a final decision, it is important to
first weigh the contributions and consequences that
may arise upon choosing a certain option. Nevertheless,
all choices result in a particular effect that you, as a
decision maker, should be ready to face.
The Consequences of Making Choices
What consequences may arise from the following scenarios?
•deciding not to attend the institutional orientation at the
start of the school year
•playing online games instead of studying for a difficult exam
•making fun of your classmate and being caught by the
teacher
While exercising the freedom to choose is attainable by all
people, it should always be realized that decision-making is a
linear and complex task that requires accountability and
commitment.
