college were free, then the public would be more educated. With free college the crime rates would lower and more students who wouldn’t have a chance or want to go to college now can.

America is known as the land of the free. Our country was founded on freedom. Our government was created with freedom in mind. But as our country continues to develop in newer, harsher times, our freedoms are slowly being taken away from us. The American dream that so many people strive for always seems just out of reach. America in general is not as strong as it once was. If America continues on its same path, it will no longer be the great, thriving country it is. Simply stated, democracy is a

Whether we are deciding between major, life changing paths, or simply, opting to wear a sweater instead of a t-shirt on a given day; the selections we make
1. Solomon Northup: Free Man In Chapters I and II, Northup tells of his life as a free black man living in upstate New York. Born in July 1808, he was the son of an emancipated slave. He grew up working on a farm at his father’s side, and also was educated to a degree of competence in reading and writing. Additionally, he learned to play the violin, a skill that would be both a blessing and curse to him in coming years. At age 21, he married Anne Hampton, and they settled down to raise a family.
Although America is known as the land of the free, how free and fair is it? Since the countries conception America has been filled with hate, and discrimination. Even after we abolished slavery, America still faces racial issues and tension in society today. These noticeable issues also effect citizen’s jobs, and their wages. Illogically, even though two people may have the exact same training and resume, one may get payed more for the same work because they are for instance, a male or Caucasian

Frankfurt and Free Will within Addicts In “Freedom of the Will and the Concept of A Person”, Harry Frankfurt makes the argument that individuals lack moral responsibility for an action if one could not have done otherwise. Frankfurt uses the examples of three addicts: the willing, non-willing and wanton addicts to make his argument that having free will exists if one has identified with their desires. I will argue that Frankfurt’s argument is plausible because having free will may depend on the
your own choice-makings. This freedom to make your own choices is free will.
Determinism, a philosophical doctrine against freedom, is the theory stating that all events, physical and mental (including moral choices), are completely determined by previously existing causes that preclude free will. This theory denies the element of chance or contingency, as well as the reality of human freedom, holding that the "will" is not free but is determined by biological, environmental, social, or mystical
“The truth will set you free-- but first it will make you miserable.” Misattributed speakers of this quote range from Mark Twain to James A. Garfield. Although their history remains hazy, the words clearly ring true for all aspects of life, spanning eons of time-- even as far back as Shakespearean-era England. British literature is rich and diverse, but the idea of truth weaves its way into numerous novels, plays, and essays. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the truth harms

person with Celiac Disease, living gluten-free is not a cure, but only a treatment to an improved health and well-being. Not eating gluten does not cure the disease, it just stops the symptoms.

Even though the labeling of gluten free is expensive, companies are now price
Free will is the known as the capability to decide between different potential courses of action and is a highly questioned topic in the philosophical world.

Baron d’Holbach views free will under the idea of Determinism, which entails that only one sequence of actions

A Future Free of Paper Cyberculture is a term that over 15 years ago you would have not given much thought to. Computers were still foreign and scary to many of us then.

Saving Free Speech It's difficult to imagine America as a country that tolerates open discrimination and harassment of people of different race or ethnicity.

Free Trade A brief definition of free trade is: Free trade refers to a general openness to exchange goods and information between and among nations with few-to-no barriers-to-trade.

always questioned if we have free will, or if we are unconsciously controlled by someone, and to understand or to answer the question, first we have to understand what free will is. According to the Oxford dictionary, free will is the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one’s own discretion. However, most philosophers have decided that there might not be one single concept of the definition of free will. The question of free will has been around for ages
have all been raised to believe that we are free to make our own choices and create our own lives. We have all been told that we can do anything we want, and achieve anything at our own free will.

When talking about the philosophy of freedom and free will there are two ways the world can be. Determinism

significance, such as what we choose to eat for breakfast. On the other hand, some may change our lives forever, like deciding where to attend college.

The notion of free will is what makes us human. What separates humans from animals and in the case of Americans free will is what defines our country. Staring in the face of determinism people cling desperately to the belief that they hold the power over their own destiny and the choices they make are unique and spontaneous.

downward, regardless of the direction of its motion at any instant. The symbol “g” is used for this special acceleration at the Earth’s surface. The value of g is approximately 9.8 m/sec2. Since we are neglecting air friction and assuming that the free fall acceleration is constant, the motion of a freely falling object is equivalent to motion in one dimension under constant acceleration. Therefore the constant acceleration equations can be applied. Objects falling downward only under the influence
The idea of free will as an illusion has become a hot topic in neuroscience, still even nearly twenty years after this article was penned, due to the controversy it attracts regarding morals and self-determination. Tom Wolfe argues, in a rather snarky tone consistently seen throughout the article, that the concept of a self is dead—much like Nietzsche’s preceding declaration that God is dead. However, the concept of self is not yet dead in neuroscience like Wolfe predicted. Rather, more recent
The Right To A Free Trial One of the most important freedoms in the American judicial system is the right to a jury trial. This allows a minimum of six Americans, chosen from a list of registered voters, to determine a person's guilt or innocence through deliberations.

If they feel that a law is unconstitutional, evil, or even unfair they can void it for the circumstance by declaring
