Independence, freedom, and belief are all common rights of a human being. All are expressed every day, wherever one goes, however, while they are similar, they aren’t always exactly the same. Independence is the right to be oneself, and create one’s own decisions and not live by others standards while freedom, on the other hand, is the right to do anything that others can do without someone worrying about a person or controlling one’s every move, and belief can mainly be associated with religion, race, or personal thoughts. Some of these things may not be completely given to someone right away as one must earn the right to do things as they grow. Some things that deal with the freedom one may earn can include the ability for a child to leave the house on their own, a curfew growing larger, or a teenager finally getting their license and a car, some things that may deal with Independence may include choosing a college, voting, or moving out of a parent’s home, and as stated above, belief can mainly be associated with religion, race, or personal thoughts. There are many examples for Independence and Freedom in life that can be given. Many examples may also be given in my life, and almost every example has taken a positive toll on my life.

Name Professor Course Date Positive and Negative Freedom: According to Augustine, Mill, Berlin, and Sartre As one of the most important concepts in philosophy, freedom always attracted the attention of the thinkers. Such outstanding philosophers as Saint Augustine, John Stuart Mill, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Isaiah Berlin provide valuable responses to the problem of freedom, which are still actual. For instance, Isaiah Berlin can be considered the true ideologist of dialectic of freedom, dividing this issue into positive and negative one.

VIDEO LECTURE OF INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION Hello! We welcome you to an Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion. The study of man and the society is incomplete without the study of religion, for it plays a significant role in the development and sustenance human society.

The topic of freedom can mean so many things to every person. Theologists, Calvin and Luther, did not think human had freedom of choice, only that God had already laid out a plan for us. Erasmus, on the other hand, disagreed with them and thought that people must have a free will, because God would not punish us for the sins that he predestined us to do. Unlike in Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism believe in freedom in a sense that there is freedom after life that cannot truly be explained in words. I agree with Erasmus in that everyone has free will, but it is the circumstances in which you live that will help determine the choices you make. Death is also a form of freedom in that there is nothing beyond death, and it should be seen as a neutral. There are many views of freedom depending on your view of life, your religion, or how you were raised, and these circumstances give more probability to certain decisions from the multiple choices always available, but humans also have a lack of freedom due to the pain and suffering during life.

Moral rights have three important features that define their enabling and protective functions. The first feature is that moral rights correlate tightly with duties. As such, a person’s moral right, at least partially, can be defined in terms of the moral duties other people have toward that person. Furthermore, if a person’s moral right is to do something, then other people have a moral duty not to interfere that person. The second feature of moral rights is providing individuals with autonomy and equality in the free pursuit of their interests. This means that people have the right to choose what activities or interests they are free to pursue or not pursue. Lastly, the third feature of moral rights is providing a basis for justifying one’s actions and for invoking the protection or aid of others. This is demonstrated by if a person’s moral right is to do something, then he or she has a moral justification for doing it. In addition,

Politics and the economy are usually the main reasons behind our thoughts about environmental issues and destruction, likewise, we tend to think that implementing laws and rules are the only way to fix those issues. However, as Joseph Wood Krutch, an American writer and an environmentalist who was awarded the National Book Award for his nature books on the American Southwest, mentioned is his book: “If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.” (Krutch).
