ONE DAY AT THE PARK'S RESIDENCE, A GRADE 11 STUDENT NAMED AIELLE ASKED HER MOTHER ABOUT HUMAN ACT.
Mom, what does it mean by human act?
Hi Aielle, so a human act is carried out by a human being when a person is responsible, when they know what they are doing and have the desire to do it. There are also two essential components of human action: knowledge and freedom.
That's right Aielle! Knowledge is necessary for every human act and the opposite of this is ignorance. Freedom on the other hand is the actual choice or voluntariness of a person doing the act.

In carrying out an act or decision, freedom has three stages. The first is before the act, when you consciously consider the reasons for or against a specific action. Second, during the decision, a person is conscious of freely giving consent and thus performing an action with extreme caution.
Lastly, is after the decision. A person is aware that a different decision could have been made, with sole blame or credit for the regret or credit resulting from such action.
Wow that really answered my curiosity. I really do learn a lot of things from you! Thanks, Mom!
