Freedom within the modern world
Talking about the modern world and the characteristics that encompass this, is an extensive and controversial issue, especially if it derives in how happy it is the human being within this system, this can be uncertain if we take into account the various interpretations on this quality, something that ends up leading us to the idea of an existing perspectivism in the population.
But first of all we must focus on trying to understand the concept of modern world, for this it is necessaryIn most of the world and have influenced most aspects of human life.
Freedom within the modern world
A fundamental aspect to understand and check if the modern world is the only source of genuine human happiness, is studying the existing freedom and limits under this concept, from the global field.
Modernity has been characterized by the constant struggle of society in breaking the bonds that torment humanity, in all aspects of life, thus becoming an idea that has taken relevance to this day to this day. Without leaving behind concepts that fluctuate within this study, such as the State and society, the exception between them, the role that positions man within this sphere, and the great importance that this concept has taken in political thought,that without a doubt it has remained in a constant debate, being the forum for permanent discussion during the course of time, under what programs lies liberty.
The term freedom can be seen from various edges that collide with each other and do not understand a unique theory within the research framereverse and that society enjoys certain freedoms because people have decided to reduce others, through norms.
Some authors such as John Locke mentions that "human beings are naturally in a perfect state of freedom to order our lives as we consider that it is fine, without depending on the will of any other" while much before Montesquieu wrote "freedom is a rightto do anything that the laws allow: and if a citizen could do those who prohibit, he would no longer be a holder of freedom, since his fellow citizens will have the same power ”.
From the historical point of view and the struggle for freedom authors such as Erich Fromm consider that “it is the oppressed who try to conquer new freedoms in direct opposition to that class that wants to preserve privileges. The aspiration to freedom is rooted in all oppressed, which express an ideal that tries to cover all humanity. However, those classes that in a stage fight for their freedom against oppression, end up aligning with the enemies of freedom by having to defend the new privileges acquired ”.Source of the appointment.
The truth is that this struggle for emancipation throughout history, has been full of difficulties, however, the possibility of man from self-governing himself arises, making his own decisions and choosing his own destiny, but as we mentioned earlierThe degree of autonomy that the human being is empowered to live as desired within a society is limited by certain values that he has decided together as a community, such are equality, laws, security, public order andhappiness of each person, but in turn these norms are disputed by the pluralism in the population, reminding us that human ends are multiple and that this causes, that not all of them are considered and that the freedom of society suppresses freedomindividual, even in a democracy.
Before we must make it clear that people are free as long as others do not interfere with the realization of their activities, every time they have the power to be able to do it, that is, they are not free when it is already a person or institution makes it impossible for the otherDo something that could do if they did not prevent it, bone only implies the premeditated interference of other human beings within the scope in which I could act. However, many times the inability to carry out these activities or to obtain certain things, is due to economic oppression and class struggle, under a capitalist system, where rich frequently have greater freedoms than the poor, although some skeptics point outThat if I see that I cannot do or achieve what I want, I just need to limit or extinguish my aspirations and desires, and with it I make myhave been taken by others.
We must also consider the vigor of freedom and law, avoiding power and sovereigntpossibility of self-determination of peoples.
For this reason, when we talk about human relations and try to frame them within a picture of measurement of freedom, it seems relevant to consider Feyerabend who considers that: “My intention is not to replace a game of general rules by another;Rather, my intention is to convince the reader that all methodologies, including the most obvious have their limits."For this reason and including this contribution to the gaze of democracy, we understand and consider that there are clearly own limitations belonging to all types of political system.
Moreover, believing that one of the many ways of thinking created by man isRulence and that in turn, locking itself into an ideology, without first examining its advantages and its limits does not allow usState and the Church must be supplemented by the separation of the State and science, which is the most recent, most aggressive and most dogmatic religious institution. Such separation could be our only opportunity to achieve humanization that we are capable but that we have never fully performed ”.
Even although we can reach this separation, there are our own freedoms that are abandoned by the need for human survival and over it due to the importance of our interpersonal relationships. From this point of view, freedom and respect for the freedom of others is a dance of life where you must learn to travel fluidly as a piece of Vivaldi in the 4 stations.
Each station brings its own, like the sun, the cold and the rain dance allow us to survive on the planet Earth, with each harvest, with each flowering of a fruit. Believing that everything is summer, is democracy, but not everything is summer, everything brings its benefit, even winter, some anarchy and some freedom of thought are required to continue questioning our environment and our reality.
Finally, it has been that ability to rethink with each season that we have allowed us.
Freedom is an intangible emerging, the more it is persecuted less, since freedom as a religious, value, human and political concept is changing, as the growth or decline seasons of the human being. Moreover, the human being will always include this concept within his personal paradigms, since the human being intrinsic ways of living that allow him to go beyond human experience, in other words, every human being seeks ideas or pathsthat they lead him to transcend this same humanity and not be oppressed. Unfortunately, the spirit of modern man is oppressed by the parents who promised to free him today, modern science and democracy.
To agree within all these possible aspects, although as we mentioned initially the modern world is in a persistent attempt to solve and deliver the condition of freedom to all its individuals, we assume that there are still enough impediments for this condition notIt is fulfilled in its fully, especially when the freedom of some depends on the restriction of others or when an vast majority is intended to be governed under certain standards imposed since its conception, we ask ourselves then, what is the meaning of freedom for those thosethat they cannot exercise it? Since if we analyze it from a perspectivist perspective, each human being seeks different freedoms depending on its social and economic position, but the minority that already has it has achieved it using the one who does not have it, this position makes us believe that the statement that the statement that the statement that the statement ofThe modern world enjoys freedom is ambiguous and uncertain.
