Content Introduction: If freedom is one of the most important values in today's world, it would likely face little objection. However, the infinite amplification of freedom across all levels of society has made it seem like a given, yet it has brought a crisis to morality. Absolute freedom has led to people feeling less free and even escaping from freedom. If freedom is a natural right for everyone, then responsibility must inherently exist. The speaker will start from the concept of freedom, point out its limitations, conclude the current lack of morality in society, and attempt to find a strong basis for moral practice in life by considering egoism and altruism.
