Free Will

An individual with “Free Will” is capable of making vital decisions and choices in life with own free consent. The individual chooses these decisions without any outside influence from a set of “alternative possibilities.” The idea of “free will” imposes a certain kind of power on an individual to make decisions of which he or she is morally responsible. This implies that “free will” would include a range of aspects such as originality, moral value, and self-governance. However, in life, individuals may not be free in making decisions. The aspect of freedom could entail remarkably a high status action and achievement in an individual’s life whose attainment could be close to impossibility. Often, people make

Freedom is the insurmountable, unobtainable goal of every man, to do whatever they want without suppression. Free will is the concept proposed by the mind and executed by the body, to openly control its actions without outside comments. Freedom and free-will come at a price. Millions of people across the span of time have laid down their life to close the deficit to pay for these two things. During the Revolutionary War, the United States fought for their freedom against the United Kingdom and eventually gained their independence. During the Civil War the Northern states fought against the Southern states to gain freedom for slaves. And even today, wars are being fought

I do believe that humans have free will to make their decisions. However, those decisions may be based on their personal environment, circumstances, unbringing and maybe even education. Each individual is responsible for

Gideon frowned lightly at the letter and shoved it away in a pocket. "Something wrong?" Wali asked who noticed Gideon's frown out of his peripheral vision. "Yeah...just something me and Aria need to talk about, nothing to worry yourself with kid." Gideon replied in monotone and Wali nodded and he threw his arm up in the air. The hawk on instinct ascended upward. "Return to Aria!" Wali replied the hawk then flew off.

Free Will is relevant within the criminal justice sector because I do believe the vast majority do have control of what they which is why they should be held accountable for their actions as well. However, determinism does have a strong relevance within the criminal justice system as well. The reason for my bias answer is because those who have clinically proven diagnoses of psychological mental disorder should be taken into consideration when committing crime. When one research the word free will the word is define as the ability to choose how to act (Free Will, n.d.). Then when researching the word determinism is defined as a theory or doctrine that acts of the will, occurrences in nature, or social or psychological phenomena are causally determined by preceding events or natural laws. Clearly the both are incompatible but they can work with each other in the criminal justice ethics

Freewill is the ability to act on his or her own accord. It is a major factor that makes one human. Many born into this world know that they have the ability to speak and do things on their own without second thought. It is something that few rarely doubt. Majority of people believe that they truly do have freewill. To them freewill is like a comfort device. It gives them control over his or her own life. The word ‘freedom’ is also associated with freewill, giving one a sense of liberty and independency in the eyes of those who believe they truly have freewill. As well as being self-reliant and having self-responsibility.

Free does not mean caused, in any aspect. The problem of free will and compatibilism is that will is determined by prior events in the casual chain, which causes and determines the actions of those involved. It has been suggested that chance and random occurrences is an explanation for freedom, however if something was truly random then it would break the casual chain. It could then be argued that because of chance outcomes from an individuals action that they could not be morally responsible. It is common for philosophers to counter this argument by stating that chance is an illusion, Albert Einstein once stated “God does not play dice” implying that everything has a cause even if we have not figured it out

Freedom of the will is the choice between first order desires which creates a will. It is not limited by freedom of action, it is rather a question of whether it is a will we

Cave believes that “free will is an illusion” (Cave). For the sake of his argument, free will is thought of as “the capacity to discern and pursue the good, instead of merely being compelled by appetites and desires” (Cave). This is reminiscent of the medieval Aristotelian ideas of Thomas Aquinas, but they come to two separate conclusions. Thomas Aquinas felt that in spite of being fated to do “good,” we have free will in how we pursue that goodness (O’Connor). Cave, however, chooses to use evidence to show that science has been slowly revealing a picture in which free will simply doesn’t belong and extrapolates that if we had the whole picture, we would know that free will doesn’t exist (Cave). Some of the cited experiments of this claim include an experiment of electricity in the brain by Benjamin Libet, which he believes concludes that we do not have free will. In contrast, however, he cites a study which showed that people who did not believe in free will had a higher tendency to cheat on math tests (Cave). Therefore, we must stare cognitive dissonance in the face, as “when people stop believing they are free agents, they stop seeing themselves as blameworthy for their actions”

What is free will? The general concept of free will is the ability to make choices of your own without anyone or anything impeding them which, consequently, makes you morally responsible. Free will, however, is non-existent. This is explained with the theory of determinism and solidified via hard determinism. Our actions and behavior can be traced to our desires and beliefs which are directly caused by our genetics and environment.

     Free will is one of the features that separates us as humans from animals and allows us to attain intelligent thought and reasoning. Of course, all of the features mentioned are unique to humans; the ability to exercise free will enables us to engage in all

“There’s no insecurity, and you realise you almost sound desperate” Serena creased inside as she realised that is almost how she had come across in the build up to her attempts to land the CEO job. “I don’t have feelings for you, I never have. I’m not going to Rome with you, and diamonds are really not my thing, you would know that if you ‘loved’ me.”

Bringing her body back to his level, she kissed his and mumbled inaudible words, until the kisses deepened, gripping onto his shoulders as one of Ric’s had slid on to her neck and the other to her inner thigh. Serena felt her body feel too weak to continue; she was overwhelmed with the experience and from here Ric thrusted from below her until the orgasmic end; releasing him from her body, she remained upon his as she rested her chest against his and in a breathless whisper, she asked, "Tell me you’re glad I came"

We are raised to believe that we are the makers of our own destiny. Every decision we make is our own, and we are free citizens in every sense of the word.

Down in the depths of the ocean, in the places light could not touch lived dreadful things.
