Liberation implies setting free.
From the Latin liberatĭo , liberation is the action of setting free . For example: "The guerrilla group announced the imminent release of the Swiss hostages" , "The release of the kidnapped businessman occurred after the payment of a ransom of half a million pesos" , "Bolívar was a man who fought tirelessly for the release of South America” .
The notion of freedom refers to the ability of human beings to carry out an action according to their own will . Freedom is often linked to other virtues, such as justice and equality .
What is liberation
The free person is not subject to the will of another in a coercive manner. Liberation, therefore, means ending coercion and returning freedom to the individual.
The concept of freedom can also be applied to an organization or a system (such as a state or a nation). This means that liberation reaches countries, peoples, etc.
Liberation can reach people, animals or entities (countries, towns, etc.).
a political party
Closely related to religion and more exactly to the political sphere is also the one known as the National Liberation Front that exists in Algeria . This is a political party that is currently a fundamental pillar in the life of that country and that in past decades also played a significant role. And, through his army, he achieved the nation's independence from France .
In 1962 it was when it achieved the aforementioned independence and from that moment until the early nineties it was in charge of having the government of the country in its power. Socialism and nationalism make up the ideology of this party.
It is important to know that in other nations there also exist or existed Liberation Fronts of this type. This would be the case of Argentina , Peru or Albania .
Liberation Theology
A current of theology that emerged in the Catholic Church in the late 1960s is known as Liberation Theology .
This religious current is linked to Marxism and raises the freedom of human beings who are oppressed by others.
Other uses of the term
In the same way, it must be emphasized that liberation is a term that is used in colloquial language to make it clear that someone has lifted a weight off their shoulders, a burden that they had inside and that worried them. A phrase that can be used as an example is the following: “Eva felt a real liberation when she finished the course passing all the subjects.”
Release, on the other hand, is the receipt that is given to a debtor when he pays and the cancellation or expiration of the charges that encumber a property : “I am calmer: today I received the release from the bank, I no longer have debts” , “The government announced the release of charges for those properties built before 1960” .
Likewise, finally, we must highlight the existence of a media that is only found on the Internet. It is Liberación Digital , a Latin American online publication that reports on all the news that happens in economic, political, social, and cultural matters. or even sports.
