Examples Of Causative Verbs

There are several differences between correlation and causation. Correlation is if an event happens and is not related to another event and it is a coincidence. This would be if an event happened but it was not connected to another. An example of this would be catching a foul ball at a baseball game. It would be a correlation because you just happened to be in that place where the ball was hit and were able to catch it. Causation on the other hand is a cause and effect. One thing happens because another thing previously happened. An example of this would be if a person drank caffeine late at night, then they would be up all night. Another example of this would be if someone slipped on ice coming out of class.

Suppose that every event or action has a sufficient cause, which brings that event about. Today, in our scientific age, this sounds like a reasonable assumption. After all, can you imagine someone seriously claiming that when it rains, or when a plane crashes, or when a business succeeds, there might be no cause for it? Surely, human behavior is caused. It doesn't just happen for no reason at all. The types of human behavior for which people are held morally accountable are usually said to be caused by the people who engaged in that behavior. People typically cause their own behavior by making choices; thus, this type of behavior might be thought to be caused by your own choice-makings. This freedom to make

The highest or worst degree of culpability is to act purposely. According to Kaplan, it is a person’s “conscious object to engage in conduct of that nature” (206). To act purposely is to act intentionally, for one to do the thing that one

The difference between acting intentionally and acting knowingly is somewhat subtle, but the following example should clear it up a little.

There is not much disagreement over whether intention plays a role in assigning moral blame. After all, someone who intends to cause suffering is clearly different

Lastly, everyone possesses hypocritical actions and takes credit for their actions either socially, emotionally, physically, or mentally. Outside influences including other people and societal conditions play a key role in also taking credit for people's actions. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne,

Legal causation: When the cause for offense is known, then a review is observed and it is whether the law is involved in the action or not.

The Mercantile Theory denies causal fault. Causal fault is laying the guilt and blame of an incident upon an individual who,

Within life many people tend to blame others for their misfortunes because of a mistake or decision made by someone else. However, in many cases it was their own decisions that caused their problems to worsen. The others may have put said person into a situation but they dug themself deeper than they were to begin with. In the end people are the masters of their own decisions, it just depends on if they listen to themselves or if they listen to

Placing blame on outside forces can also be a tragic and misguided reaction to events that people encounter. Armand makes this mistake when he can see no other cause for his anguish and blames God for what he sees as a cruel injustice placed upon him. “He thought Almighty God had dealt cruelly

In the paper, “Human Freedom and the Self” Roderick M. Chisholm offers his theory of human freedom and defends it against a couple objections. One of the objections we will talk about which is the second objection is connected to the concept of immanent causation, where causation is by an agent, he argues how the statement “the prime mover unmoved” (page 391) has been subject to difficulty. Chisholm explains immanent causation as being an agent causing the event A to happen, but although the agent is causing A to happen the agent is not moved by anything. The argument to this objection is that “there must be some event A, which is caused not by any other event but by the agent” (page 391). Well since A was not cause by another event then the agent couldn’t have produced anything either to bring A about, so “what did the agent’s causation consist of” (page 391). Also another point that was made in the objection was the question “what is the difference between A’s just happening and the agents causing A to happen” (page 391). Chisholm responds by saying that there is a difference between man causing A and an event causing A. The two are not the same because transeunt causation is connected to determinism, which makes the train of events, happen and immanent causation as he explains it is when the agent causes the event. He then sums up his answer by saying the reason “lies in the fact that, in the first case but not the second, the event was caused by the man” (pg. 391) He

every action we do is of our own design, and therefore we are morally responsible for the result of those actions. Of course there are exceptions such as being held at gunpoint, being hypnotized or driven by some psychological disorder. No-one would hold you at fault for actions you were forced to commit, but we do hold you responsible for other actions, ones we feel they were free to make. We feel appalled when we see someone kill, or act in an amoral way. This feeling - Campbell thinks - is what shows we must have free will; because without free will we can’t be held responsible for our actions. Yet when you see someone do something you as “why did you do that?” or “what made you do that?”; we ask for the
