For those of us grew up in the United States, we are brought up in a society that teaches us that we possess free will, and from that free will, we are morally responsible as individuals for our actions. However, when it comes to the topic of free will in a philosophical sense, there appears to be more than what we are taught as children. While many believe in the idea of our free will, there are others who believe that individuals are not responsible for their actions. This comes from an idea…

Throughout history free will has been debated by average people, Christians, non Christians and philosophers. There are conflicting views on the matter of free will some say free will does not exist because our life has been predetermined while others believe free will does exist and we are able to be in control over our decisions and actions. There is both a libertarian view and a compatibilist view. In this essay I will look at the question “Should Christians think humans have free will or…

Then comes the question of whether God exists and if he does, then why is there still evil and suffering in the world? If God were truly omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent, then our world would not contain evil whatsoever. There is a whole range of people who experience suffering but it is best to narrow it down to simply children.

why he believes that free will exists. Sartre goes on to explain that just because we are free doesn’t mean we get away with doing anything. In fact, he claims that we are responsible for every choice we make. Because of this Sartre claimed that we are “Condemned to be free.” Sartre's views may be viewed as liberating and logical, but our knowledge of the world firmly supports that we may not be as free as he artistically expressed. Sartre believed that all men are free. He held that we do…

main characters face conflicting emotions when given adverse news; how each deal with such conflictions relate to the fate or free will. The process of fate is something beyond the control of humans. Fate occurs without a matter of choices that someone can pick and optionally pursue; it is a matter of coincidence rather than intentional acts. In contrast, the act of free will allows a person to choose; a person can control their future implications rather than relying on a higher force to create…

John Steinbeck’s The Red Pony, a collection of stories revolving around a young boy coming of age, and The Grapes of Wrath, a novel written about a family's journey from the aftermath of the Dust Bowl to their life in California, illustrates that a person’s character changes when one goes through adversities and grows from those obstacles.

When most people hear the words “opera singer,” their mind conjures up images of bloated women, plunked down in the middle of a stage, illuminated by a spotlight, dressed in exotic costumes, and screaming at the top of the lungs in even more exotic languages.
