Free education

the choice an individual made. Then we want to ask what caused that choice and that leads us to the character/ psychology of that individual. The psychology/ character of that individual were caused by human nature, environment, genetics, customs, education and many more reasons. This would make us wonder what caused all those factors and we can continue the long casual chain. We can conclude that everything has a cause as was shown by the continued chains of necessary causes. If we even wanted…

answer an important question: do we have free will? Though the answer may seem as simple as “of course we do, I can make my own decisions independent of what you are doing.” Significant philosophers like Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Lock have tried to tackle the issue of free will (Ekstrom 1). Today, there are three major types of arguments for free will: the hard determinist, indeterminist, and compatibilist. Knowing the veracity of free will is something we both want and do…

philosophers have argued the existence of free will; determining its existence is a challenge. Clearly, it is an ontological issue because experts in the field have difficulties defining its nature of existence. Free will is the doctrine that states that all human beings are free to make independent choices. Free will has the potential to judge the outcomes of our actions by explaining that no external force was involved in them and, therefore, we are free to make our choices. Thus, it is…

Man exists not to be controlled, not to be ruled, and not to be restrained, but to live free. In the world today, people of all genders and races have the freedom of choice without control.

We We hhumans need to embrace this blessing of freedom to live a prosperous. Freedom allows us to live for ourselves and without it we need no longer…

Alexis Barbieri PHIL 006 Fate vs. Free Will Many times we are asked the question is human life fated or is it free, or maybe it is something in between? There can be very good arguments made for both of these things. Those people who believe in fate believe that everything that happens in our lives and everything that is going to happen is predetermined by a higher power; whether you’re a religious person and you believe that higher power is god, or you just believe it could be a natural or…

Free/functioning philosophy can be defined as a way of focusing on or assisting individuals to make the best health decision for themselves based on the person knowing they have the freedom and independence to do so (Black p. 82). For example, a provider is dealing with a patient that is obese, and their health problems are progressing. The provider educates the patient on different exercise and diet plans that would assist the patient in their particular state with getting back on a healthier…

According to the dictionary, free choice is defined as the ability to choose, think, and act voluntarily. One would think we practice free choice in every embodiment of the tasks we perform. However, what if the choices we make every day were not as voluntary as we once thought? You would this to be impossible, would you not? I eat when I am hungry, I drink when I am thirsty, I wash myself when I am dirty, I sleep when I am tired. Are these not examples of free choice? Well, according to…

We like to think that we have free will that we have a choice in how to live our lives that we can achieve anything we want in life as long as we choose to work hard and stay motivated. We hear about those great success stories about people making it to the top thanks to their efforts. But it is not always that way. For most people the story is different, even though they choose to work hard and sacrifice in many ways, they still cannot achieve their goals and dreams. Sometimes it is not up to…

criminological perspective that corresponded the most with my beliefs. Beginning in 1920s and 1930s it emphasized that even though individuals have different beliefs, their family, peers, neighborhoods, schools, unemployment, poverty, and lack of education hugely impacts individuals and makes them more prone to crimes (“Perspectives on the U.S. Criminal Justice System”). However, the primary variable are factors beyond one's control that results in crimes, therefore making individuals less…

torn my mind. Yes, he is guilty. Yes, he should be punished. Yet, was he morally responsible for the crime? Upon reading the article and learning about his life and how it was always headed in a downward motion. While I want to believe that he had free will and was able to stop the killing if he wanted too. He didn’t have to kill those people, yet causal determinism would argue this. Causal determinism states that every action, belief, and desire is a function of causes that are out of our…
