Throughout history, there has been debate of whether a person is morally responsible for something that was completely out of the person’s control. This could also be known as the debate over moral luck. Is there any immunity from luck? It would most likely depend on the situation and the public’s interpretation. People seem to be committed to the Control Principle, that we are only morally assessable to the things within our own control. Although this is our main ideology, we make our judgments…

In Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, the narrator’s ambivalent feelings about Kurtz indicates Marlow discovering Kurtz intentions. The literary elements such as point of view, tone, diction, and paradox assist the narrator in understanding Marlow’s feelings when learning about Kurtz.

Such models place people along a continuum in regards to readiness for action and these models assume that a person’s action-behavior is a result of their intention to perform that behavior (Schwarzer & Luszczynska, 2008).
