What is Free Will?<\/em>
\nRecently my suitemates were debating if human\u2019s have free will. The debate went somewhere along the lines of this:
\nCunndogg<\/strong>: free will is basically our choices.
\nLiam<\/strong>: our decisions are altered depending on the environment and the past, therefore it\u2019s not free will since factors can affect our decision.
\nCunndogg<\/strong>: the fact he chose means it was free will. He could\u2019ve chosen either one, and having that choice and making a decision equals to free will.
\nLiam<\/strong>: you don\u2019t make a choice based on nothing. Like one day you decide you wanted to research on your religion that your parents had, you don\u2019t just randomly do it, there must\u2019ve been factors that affected you to make the decision. Say that Sam wants to learn more about his jewish background. Why? Probably because he was shown how rich the jewish culture was one day and that excited him. He wouldn\u2019t go studying some other religion for no reason.
\nCunndogg<\/strong>: the fact that he had a choice of researching and not to research is free will. He has the choice of going to study any religion he wants to, but factors just made it more likely that he\u2019ll study jew because he was part jewish.
\nLiam<\/strong>: that\u2019s the point I\u2019m trying to make. Because he was part jewish and maybe he recently discovered more about his jewish background, he felt more inclined to study it which means it was not free will.
\nCunndogg: I get what you\u2019re saying, but I guess it all comes down to:<\/p>\n

What is Free Will?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My psych teacher gave me this quote:
\nTranscend the past.
\nTransform the present.
\nMake the future.<\/p>\n
