TUNAY NA KALAYAAN NG TAO
Pakinggan ang awitin ni Ka Freddie Aguilar hinggil sa Huwad na Kalayaan.
Ang kalayaan ay pagiging malaya
sa lahat ng mga ginagawa mo. Ito din ay malaya
sa mga karapatang pantao na mahalaga sa bawat mamayan.
Ang kalayaan ay isang responsibilidad na kailangang bigyang halaga ng bawat isa at kailangang pangalagaan.
Ang kalayaan ay kailangang yakapin ng may paninindigan at pagtitiwala at higit sa lahat ang hindi paggawa ng kung ano ang nais mo.
Narito ang modyul hinggil sa kalayaan. Basahin at sagutan.

WHY DO WE NEED TO DO GOOD?
We do good to others because!?
We do good to others so that!?
Altruism and Connectedness
We do good to others so that!?
In 2007, a
construction worker named Wesley Autrey was standing on a subway platform in
New York, when a young man nearby had an epileptic seizure and rolled on to the
track. Hearing the approach of a train, Wesley Autrey impulsively jumped down
to try to save the young man, only to realise that the train was approaching
too fast. Instead, he jumped on top of the young man’s body and pushed him down
into a drainage ditch between the tracks.
The train
operator saw them, but it was too late to stop: five cars of the train passed
over their bodies. Miraculously, both of them were uninjured. Asked later
by The New York Times why he had done it, Autrey said: ‘I just
saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right.”
The question of why human beings are
sometimes prepared to risk their own lives to save others has puzzled
philosophers and scientists for centuries. From an evolutionary point of view,
altruism doesn’t seem to make any sense.
According to the modern
Neo-Darwinian view, human beings are basically selfish. After all, we are only
really ‘carriers’ of thousands of genes, whose only aim is to survive and
replicate themselves. We shouldn’t be interested in sacrificing ourselves for others,
or even in helping others. It’s true that, in genetic terms, it’s not
necessarily self-defeating for us to help people close to us, our relatives or
distant cousins—they carry many of the same genes as us, and so helping them
may help our genes to survive. But what about when we help people who have no
relation to us, or even animals?
Altruism and Connectedness
It’s this
fundamental oneness which makes it possible for us to identify with other
people, to sense their suffering and respond to it with altruistic acts. We can
sense their suffering because, in a sense, we are them. And because of this common
identity, we feel the urge to alleviate other people’s suffering - and to
protect and promote their well-being —just as we would our own. In the words of
the 19th century German philosopher Schopenhauer, ‘My own true inner being
actually exists in every living creature, as truly and immediately known as my
own consciousness in myself...This is the ground of compassion upon which all
true, that is to say unselfish, virtue rests, and whose expression is in every
good deed.’
In other
words, there is no need to make excuses for altruism. Instead, we should
celebrate it as a transcendence of seeming separateness. Rather than being
unnatural, altruism is an expression of our most fundamental nature—that of
connectedness.
