Even though decision making is an everyday responsibility it sometimes can become overwhelming when trying to decide what is the best decisions to make because we are all at free will to do whatever no matter good or bad. We should be mindful of the decisions and choices that we make because of the effects it has on our lives and others it is also our moral responsibility to be accountable for actions because of the effects that it has on our life. , “We believe we have free will when we view ourselves as agents capable of influencing the world in various ways.

When we are aware of our ability to think and of the consequences of our choices we have. Also the concept that we can claim responsibility for our actions. These are the meaningful differences that give rise to the concept of freewill. To know that this does goes against the concept of free will and makes you question is that really free will that makes it determinism. When contrasting the theory of free will verses determinism the theory of Universal Causation helps to demonstrate the many differences. According to (Farlex, 2015) Law of universal causation. the theoretical or asserted law that every event or phenomenon results from, or is the sequel of, some previous event or phenomenon, which being present, the other is certain to take place.” This mean that no matter what decision you choose your still going to generate the same results. The universal causation theory says that everything including the decision and actions that humans make has some sort of effect to it. As if everything is predestined to happen. Determinism is the cause and effect of things it is what we see as the logical explanation. An example of determinism is saying that things will happen exactly the way they are supposed to no matter what chose you choose things will just happen in the example in the paragraph above there is an example of a girl who can chose between two guys to date one being violent like her parents …show more content…
For example people that battle with depression, bipolar disorder and other emotional illnesses that allows them to lose control of their different decisions.

With that being a very hard decisions with an unstable state of mind they still have to choose if they want swim or sink in their problems. According to (Wood, 2014) “In the Bootstrap Model, mental illness is your fault. Depression is a choice. You need to pull yourself up by those bootstraps, put on a happy face, and exercise (or pray, or work, or smile) those blues away. But while it’s true that forcing yourself out of your apartment and going for a run can be a great cure for the blahs, the Bootstrap Model does exactly the wrong thing by implying that depressed people (who often already feel tremendous self-loathing and guilt) ought to feel even guiltier about what’s happening to them.” With the determinism theory people who receive the cause on the decision that they make in life have something to place their decisions on.
