situation. Harrison starts out by conversing about how people wondered how much freedom they really had. All of these questions that were asked back then are still asked today. An example relevant in the United States is that we have freedom, but as the laws become stricter, how much of our own freedom can we really control, what is the best way to use it? At this point, the first chapter brings up the point that there are different types of freedom: mental and physical. In the example of the…

Every day of one’s life, we are presented with choices. These choices vary from simple, such as taking a different route home from work; to difficult, such as picking which law school we want to attend. No matter what choices we are presented with, no one will remember those. All anyone will ever remember are the decisions we made in life from our presented choices. Take Young Goodman Brown, for example; a man whose every decision in life has been the right one. This is a man who, not only is a…

Throughout the play Antigone many of the characters are confronted with situations that lead to their downfall. Most of the characters actions and choices are the source of their ultimate demise. According to Aristotle, a Greek tragedy must possess a protagonist that contains a harmatia, or tragic flaw, that leads to their own downfall. Aristotle believed that the protagonist of a true Greek…

We “know” our decisions are our own. Is that nothing but a pathetic illusion? No. On one level we are free. This is because we are acting in accord with the law of our being, wherever it came from. We are delighted to obey our inclinations, wherever we got them. To do otherwise would be merely to kick against the goads, not really freedom, mere defiance of whomever issues commands we find abhorrent. The factors…

In the majority of cases, it is easy for others to be certain that an individual is responsible for their actions. This is less accurate in circumstances where an individual has presumably no other choice; people tend to believe if for some reason you have no choice but to do something it is inherently not your fault.
