Choices in A Modern First World Society Agency is the ability to have a choice to make and the way one acts upon that choice.

He links a relationship between agency and choices. The Bystander Apathy Experiment depicts conformity and…

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.

If not, then the premise that every effect has a cause is untrue, and God could not have created the universe because he could not have been "the first cause." There is just as much evidence that some other phenomenon created the universe, such as the Big Bang. Another argument for atheism examines the presence of evil on Earth. If God is omnibenevolent, how can he allow such evil…
