Freedom: Do not get confused. Freedom is not doing whatever we want.
any moment, it is something much bigger and deeper. It is about the
the ability that human beings have to choose their own path. That is, the
the ability to NOT do something that we could do and we feel like, because
WE KNOW that it is incorrect and we believe that it does NOT fall within the values that
we want to continue.
In a society, we are free when we can decide without threats and we can
opt to have certain ideas and express them freely, always and
when they are ideas that respect others and democratic values.
We also have the freedom to choose political representatives. In a
democratic and free society we can also assert our right to
live where we want within everyone's possibilities, choose the clothes
what we want to wear or the local stores and brands we want to consume.
Exercising freedom in a responsible manner is necessary for society
functions in a satisfactory manner and is a test of maturity both at the level
individual as a level of democratic and free society.
An interesting topic for debate could be whether it is a demonstration of freedom.
Does it renounce certain expressions of it or is it self-repression? For example, in
a complicated political moment or if the country is experiencing a critical situation, should it be

even if it can lead to serious political problems?

to boast about their successes. A humble person will accept others in this way.

lack of sincerity, or proclaiming the pride one feels for an achievement even if it may

Justice: Being fair to others does not mean being judges. We must not
to judge all the acts of others but to treat them all equally
and equitable. As a society, there must be equal justice for all, which
guarantee our security, the fulfillment of our rights, and the resolution
of conflicts in an effective way.
Justice provides us with the ability to differentiate what is our own from what belongs to others, it is
to say, to respect private property and also the rights of others
people in our environment.
Respect: Respect as a value teaches us to understand that we can be
equal in our value as people, but different in terms of ideas or
beliefs. Defending our thoughts does not have to imply disregarding the
on the contrary. One of the human feelings on which respect is based is
in empathy. This is the ability to put oneself in another person's shoes and be
capable of understanding their reactions and thoughts even when they do not

basic rights of people then we should resort to the

soon, like for example the equality of races in the USA?
Equality: Social equality implies that all citizens must have
the same rights, without imposing on each other or having discrimination based on
reason of sex, race, ethnicity or any other ideological factor. There should be no existence of the
superiority of some people over others based on no assumption and the
the state must ensure that all citizens have the same
opportunities and equal consideration before the administrations.
Equality does not imply uniformity, and this is well expressed in a slogan of a
campaign against discrimination that took place a few years ago in Spain and that
It was titled 'We are different, we are the same.'
Solidarity: We could define solidarity as the support for those
weaker individuals or social sectors to help them obtain what
necessary. The taxes we pay to the state are partly to pay
social services and solidarity aid for the most vulnerable.
But in our day to day we can exercise this value by helping people with
our environment not only in the material aspect, but also in the emotional part
of convivencia.
Solidarity gives us a sense of unity as a people and mutual aid that
makes us feel safer.
The capacity for dialogue: It is a very important value as it brings together many of
the other exposed values. Respect for different ideas, humility in the
defense of one's own and the well-exercised freedom when debating opinions.
The rules of behavior: If you share a bedroom with a sibling

so that the other doesn't trip or invade all the space with our things. In
the same happens in society. Some of these norms are collected in the
laws and regulations, but others are based on common sense and we respect them logically
and because we know that they favor coexistence among people.
