RESEARCH PAPERDo we have free will? If don’t, then explain why it seems like we areright to, e.g., think that Assad (or anyone who you think does lots of badthings and is morally responsible for them) is morally responsible for hisactions
1Introduction In this paper, I will be stating that we don't have a free will and also various philosophers stated that the instinct is not the right thing which should be followed. Further, free will is a figment of the imagination and the choices are being determined according to the event's outcomes which have occurred in the past or they might be random. In this research paper, I will be arguing that the free will is just an illusion and while following the free will, we sometimes get involved in lots of bad things. Further, the example of Assad will be taken like how he became responsible for the devastation of Syria as he was following the free will.Literature review It is being stated that the sciences have steadily grown older in the claim that the behavior of the humans can be easily explained through the laws of clockwork i.e. cause and the effect. Further, the shift in the perspective in the continuation of the revolution intellectually which initiated around 120 years ago (Dennett, D.C., 2015). Moreover, if we have evolved, then the faculties of the mental sense such as intelligence might be hereditary. Whereas, the faculties are being used by various people who have a great degree as compared to others in order to make the effective decisions. It is being stated that the ability in order to select our respective fate in not at all free rather relies on the inheritance. Furthermore, it was being stated in the year 1980 that we do not have the free will, and it was known that the activity through electricity develops in the brain of aperson before he/she moves the hands (Monroe, A. E., Dillon, K. D., & Malle, B. F. 2014). It further means that the buildup takes place before an individual consciously takes the decision in order to move. Further, the experience of consciousness in order to decide the act which is being associated with a free will occurs to be as the add-on, the post reconstruction of the ad-hoc of thevarious events which take place when the brain sets the motion in the act. The example was
2being taken in order to measure the extent through which the laborer's group had to believe in thefree will and then the performance was being examined on the job by observing the ratings of thesupervisor (Robertson, R., & Combs, A. 2014). People, who were having strong believe that were having control of the actions presented in time for the work and were given the ratings according to their capability. This showed that the free will transformed to the great predictor of the performance of job as compared to the created measures like the self-possessed ethics at work. Moreover, it was also being stated if an individual is having less believe on the free will then the chances are less that the positive outcome will occur according to the expectations (Clark et al., 2014). Also, it is being stated that in terms of science that the free will is nothing but the illusion which impacts are lives negatively to a great extent and there are fewer chances that the positive and the expected outcome will occur.Free will should not be ignored It is being stated that the free will should not be ignored because the free will shows that how strong our system of belief is in relation to the fortune. Also, we follow our free will then the outcomes are positive most of the times (Csikszentmihalyi, M. 2014). Moreover, it is being stated that the widespread of believe in the free will relies on the civilization and if the belief is being lost, then it might be calamitous. Further, the ethical code assumes that we can select freely among what is wrong and what is right. In the tradition of Christianity, it is being known as the liberty through morality which is the capacity in order to pursue and discern the good rather than being forced by the desires (Nahmias, E. 2015). Also, it is being stated that if we cannot select freely, then there is not right to say that we ought to select the way of righteousness.
