Inside Out
In the movie Inside Out it’s all about determinism. The word determinism means that every event including human action, is governed by some natural laws. Meanwhile libertarianism is the opposite. Libertarianism is basically free will, and free will means the ability to choose, think, and act voluntarily. Inside out is all determinism because Riley is being controlled. Riley does not have free will because she is being controlled.
The movie Inside Out is showing that Riley is being controlled by her own emotions. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions, which are joy, fear, anger, disgust, and sadness. These five emotions are controlling Riley through her everyday life. Her emotions live in Headquarters, which is the control center inside Riley’s mind. In our class lecture we watched the clip from Inside Out and our class basically agreed that Riley was being controlled by her emotions. We also learned the meaning of

It also says that there are differences among scientists as to kinds of determinism. The different kinds of determinism are indeterminism, predestination, and fatalism. The most tendency today is to reject mechanical determinism. Determinism is being controlled by natural laws. Riley is being controlled by her five emotions, but in the clip we watched two emotions, which are joy and sadness leave the headquarters because they get sucked up into a tube and takes them to Riley’s long-term memory. So, Riley is left with three emotions, which are anger, disgust, and fear and they have to help Riley out throughout a few days by themselves. Those three emotions are working for the first time without Joy because Joy is the one who leads them to do what they have to do in order for Riley to get through her day. So, anger, disgust, and fear have to help Riley out without the help of
In the Philosophy, Determinism has many different categories. Actually according to the textbook, the Determinism is the view that every event, including human actions, are brought about by previous events in accordance with the natural laws that govern the world. Human freedom is an illusion. Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza does not deny that people’s wishes and desires will lead to the soul, and he said, "but neglected one important
According to Adler and Proctor (2011), it talks about responding to transgressions and some examples to that would be coming to an acceptance, rejection and discussion. In the movie “Inside out” we discover how all the emotions try to steer the way to control the little girl “Riley” mind but one specific character by the name of “Joy” is basically the one in charge of them all and tries to take on more of the responsibility in situations. Throughout the movie something happens to Riley and her emotions
Libertarianism rejects soft determinism and hard determinism because libertarians believe that freedom does exist. However, libertarians believe in indeterminism because it does not believe in any predetermined causality. Also, “libertarians say that you also have to be free to want differently than you do.” (pp. 227-233, Palmer)
In part five of the textbook, Philosophy: The Quest For the Truth, the concept of freedom of the will and determinism is discussed in great lengths. The argument of free will and determinism between psychologists and philosophers has existed for centuries. People who are determined assume that outside, as well as internal forces, determine behavior. In addition to this they understand that although this is true in their eyes, people are free to choose their own behavior. According to the textbook, Philosophers assume that people seem to accept determinism, which is defined as being, “the view that events are determined or necessitated by preceding physical causes and the laws of nature (394)”. This being valid brings up many questions that
Determinism refers to the belief that everything happen necessarily and every event has a cause. Determinism believes events can happen for multiple causes but does not allowed the possibility that something results from no cause. Every action has a cause even if one believes the decision was made on their own
It has been debated over centuries whether us humans have control over our destiny, and if we are really able to decide on our own. The controversy between free will and determinism has been argued about for years. If we look into a dictionary, free will is define as the power given to human beings to be able to make free choices that is unconstrained by external circumstances or a force such as fate or divine intervention. Determinism is defined as a philosophical doctrine that every event, act, and decision is the inescapable consequence of antecedents that are independent of the human will. Determinism states that humans have no free will to choose what they wish. Due to this fact, contemporary philosophers cannot agree whether free will does exist, let alone it be a divine influence.
“Anger” influenced Riley to steal money from her parents to fund her ticket home. Riley was unable to deal with the changes she encountered in San Francisco. Riley missed her friends back home and had difficulty making new ones. She was so out of touch with her other emotions such as joy, sadness, fear, and disgust that anger influenced all of her behavior. Riley was no longer relying on her memories to bring her joy because all of her memories were back in Minnesota. She had been sad for a long time and refused to go to her family for support. Due to Riley internalizing all of her emotions for so long, she was unable to feel Joy, disgust, anger, or fear but she was able to feel sadness. Sadness eventually influenced Riley to report back home to her
A persons emotions communicate said persons personality and also determines their state of mind – either ‘unhealthy’ or ‘healthy’. The protagonist, Riley, possesses 5 out of the 6 (the latter being surprise) universal emotions in her mind that were determined by scientist Paul Eckman. Her 5 emotions work together to keep her safe and happy and make her who she is.
Comparatively, another scene where it was evident that every emotion has a purpose is when Sadness and Joy finally returned to headquarters together. Sadness is the only one who can get the idea of running away out of Riley’s head. If she couldn’t feel eternal sadness within her own mind about leaving then she most likely would not have been able to realize the error in her ways and return home. The scene emphasized the importance of emotions as she would have been numb to the whole situation had it not been for her true feelings of sadness to
The character Joy always wants to be in authority over Riley’s emotional experiences; she refuses to acknowledge Sadness’ role in helping Riley grow up. Joy finds ways to keep Sadness in a corner and away from the control center of Riley’s mind, just as society tends to treat depression and sorrow with contempt. Instead of accepting that other emotions are equally as important in experiences, society and Joy just want to recognize the jovial moments in life. Similarly, when Riley and her family first move into the new home in San Francisco, her mom explains to her to ignore her father’s stress and just “put a smile on her face”. Instead of encouraging Riley come to terms with her unhappiness, her mom advices her that she will get through it by bottling up her feelings, as society leans toward praising happiness and suppressing “negative” emotions.
A number of psychologists engage determinism without thoroughly embracing the full parameters of the concept. This is the faint impression that can be seen in the contention on the topic of free will. In essence, determinism is a principle that holds to the inevitability of the “occurring” of an event. The links and structures of causes are so potent and incontrovertible that what can be stated is that all situations and their results are inevitable.
Determinism is the doctrine that all events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes external to the will. The determinists’ view has many mechanical connotations and uses the laws of physics and nature to explain how everything in our universe is planned. A particularly interesting argument for determinism comes from neurological experiments in which subjects are required to make a simple decision and document when they chose while being monitored by an fMRI. The researchers observed neuron firing in the subjects’ brains seconds prior to making their choice. It is possible that our consciousness is simply observing the brain’s reactions to a stimulus. On the cognitive position of determinism, our brains are not as self-aware
Determinism claims that all events are inevitable to have certain results at the end, since conditions are met and nothing else would occur. And it could apply to everything in the universe with causal laws. With the discovering laws, we could make predictions. Over the years, there are more than one determinism been developed over time.
The determinists believe that people are molded by outside forces such as human nature, their environment, psychological forces, and social dynamics (Chaffee, 2013, p. 173). Human nature refers to the inborn nature that every person is genetically hardwired with. In other words we can’t have free choice because we cannot alter our fundamental character (Chaffee, 2013, p.173)
The film Inside Out (2015) produced and directed by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, is a movie based on the emotions of a 11-year-old girl called Riley. The film’s principal characters are five emotions located in Riley’s brain. These emotions are Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. All of them work together inside Riley’s mind to accomplish one goal: Her Happiness. Everything revolves around Riley because she is facing a hard move with her family from Minnesota to San Francisco, leading to big changes around his life, attitude, and behavior. Most of the movie is set inside Riley’s mind, where the emotions operate her brain’s control center. The film explains that our brain has functions that control our responses to certain situations, and the ways that we handle these situations are controlled by our emotions. Also, it explains that our personalities and identities are defined by certain emotions, which shape how we handle and express to specific situations. The decisions and actions that the emotions choose to do in Riley’s life will drive the plot. Inside Out (2015) will not only explain through its colors, lighting, and camera shots the storyline of the movie, but also the importance of emotions and how they play a big role in our lives.
