Independent. What does it mean to be independent? Does independence mean the same thing as being free? Everyone experiences independence in different ways. Some experience independence in little tasks, such as a young child learning to zip their own coat on a cold winter day.

The Free Will Problem Hard Determinism is the best possible answer to the free will problem. It is the theory that past event’s directly cause future events, therefore, the future is casually determined. While this may seem like a daunting thought, it isn’t.

They believe that we are able to directly influence events that happen, and how they happen, directly choosing our future.…

In “Of the System of Man’s Free Agency” D’Holbach explains his argument that human action is determined by the laws of nature. He proposes that humans are part of the natural world and therefore governed by necessary laws, so they have no free will. On this essay I will argue that D’Holbach’s argument on motive is not a good one; I will explain the argument, present why do I think the argument fails and consider ways to defend the argument from my own attack. D’Holbach’s Argument D’Holbach…

Free will is a term that has been in debate, for many years now and still is a concept of modern philosophy. As this idea of free will can be seen as one thing or another. For example, as in the reading of “Free Will” by Sam Harris it is mentioned how free will is just a delusion and how the belief in free will ties up to all that humans appreciate. Additionally, as others may say that we are the aware source of our ideas and movements in the present. Harris also remarks on the reading how “You…

everything happens because something causes it to happen. If someone’s actions are causally determined, could we say he or she had the free will to choose them?

The reality of “stable natural laws” and the human environment such laws facilitate is that they are conducive to free-willed creatures making real moral choices (Morris 274). People find themselves challenged daily to make decisions that impact their value system. Consequently, individuals have the opportunity to grow and learn from the choices and mistakes they make…

“'Time management' is really a misnomer; the challenge is not to manage time, but manage ourselves. The key is not to prioritize what is on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities,” philosophized Stephen Covey. Time management is all about delegation. One of the most difficult things I have ever undergone thus far in my twenty-one years of life is to efficiently find a healthy balance among my Penn Foster studies along with my job, family and other activities and responsibilities. I am a…

According to The Free Dictionary, mindset refers to a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations of situations.

For instance, yin and yang (dark and light), one cannot exist without the…
