Freedom And Decision Making

Freedom and decision making

Introduction

Freedom is a concept that can be deepened and defined with a variety of opinions and arguments. However, what concerns us is an ethical freedom, where the human being can make autonomous decisions, but with positive objectives that find their own well -being and that of their fellow men. That is, that freedom must be destined for own care and others. For Foucault cited by Garcés and Giraldo, a person cannot take care of himself without knowing each other. Given what Foucault said, ignorance of ourselves, can direct the misuse of our freedom.

Developing

They must bring consequences that can affect us. As well as the people who are in our context. In such a way, that freedom defines it as an act that must be voluntary, that it can see. If we reflect it from the educational point of view, the teacher has an aging of power over the students, who in the use of their freedom can make appropriate or not decisions, and depending on these decisions they can achieve positive or negative results in such students. Given this, you can also refer that the teacher is an example for their pupils.

And that he must know himself to make congruent decisions between what he says and what he does, and thus dignify his profession and probably become someone worth imitating. The teacher must make use of his freedom, in full knowledge of his person and champion of ethical attitudes. Well, when talking about ethics, there are no middle points, or culture, or custom, that can offer another conception of it.

That is, ethics is what it is, and testifies with correct and fair actions, without lending itself to justifications from different societies. It is morality that is covered with social needs, but ethics is the purity of doing the right. 

And doing the right. Consequently, the teacher must accept the ethical condition of being a change of change, and taking responsibility for the young people in charge making a correct use of that power over them. They should avoid falling into the abuse of this power, becoming a state of unilateral domination. That is, the teacher makes use of his freedom by restricting the freedom of his students. In other words, that as teachers we avoided ourselves to make only our opinion and not respect the opinions or arguments of our same students.

The expressed is a great risk that runs in the use of freedom. Because according to Foucault, in the abuse of power it is imposed on others, fantasies, appetites, and desires, which can generate slavery. As an example of the aforementioned, teachers have a relationship of power over their students. As well as the directive part with the teachers. When that power relationship becomes arbitrary and closed to a single side, the subordinate part lacks their freedom to make decisions about their same students, in the face of impositions that may come directly from the superiors or an educational law that is notfind contextualized to the educational needs of young people.

conclusion

In this exercise we can also mention bioethics, which has a close relationship with freedom and self-care. According to Garcés and Giraldo, bioethics is the ethics of life that could be understood as an ethic of care and others. Therefore, this branch of ethics ensures that in the human procedure a correct treatment of any living being prevails. Respect for animals, the exercise of human rights, the care of the environment, among others, are concepts of life that the teacher must infer in his students, to generate awareness and concern on the part of young people did with othersliving beings.
