Keywords:
human, freedomAbstract
One of the features that qualitatively distinguishes man from all known creatures on this earth, is freedom. We experience it every day, especially when we are faced with important decisions, or whenwe experience serious dilemmas. The truth of our freedom confirms the striking diversity of attitudes among the people: some act prudently and responsibly, while others are guided by instincts and emotions. Among the creatures that surround us, only a person can be held accountable for their actions, because only a man can do in a conscious and willingly. Freedom is not only distinguishes us among other entities. How to use this freedom differentiates us and between us and the people. Not all people understand the meaning of his own freedom. There are those who use freedom in such a way that they lose it. Mature use of freedom is not an innate but acquired. The purpose of this study is to present conditions and threats to human freedom, and the sense of freedom and the criteria for adult use that ability.
