The first part of this philosophy is that humans have a freedom of choice. Kierkegaard argues that‚ “...life is a series of choices and these choices bring meaning to our life” (Case). Basically‚ to live Existentially one must make it a priority to live as authentically as possible. These choices are what make humans unique and make life worth living. Every action made is a choice.

It is one of those "moments" in Chinese history that is the epitome of Mao Zedong’s willingness to experiment‚ as well as his political genius in seizing control of the forms of government out of the hands of his intellectual and political adversaries within the Communist Party of China.
