The concept that human beings have
inalienable rights and liberties that cannot justly be violated by others or by
the state is linked to the history of democracy. As before, Philippines had its
freedom after the long years of Martial Law, but luckily we’re still having
that democratic system.
Democracy defines as free and equal representation of
people; the free and equal right of every person to participate in a system of
government, often practiced by electing representatives of the people by the
majority of the people. We people have that right; right to speech, walk, dance
and everything we desire to do. We have it equally, no matter what is your
state in the society, either your rich or poor. Those higher authorities
shouldn’t rule our lives because we have equal opportunities. Equal
opportunities to do what others can also do.
Although we, people have this kind of liberty, we have
the limitation to bear in mind for whatever we do. It is not the grounds for
doing things which were not correct and acceptable in the society and in the
eyes of God.
