Free will vs determinism

• Free will- the notion that all humans have the choice over how to behave and their behaviour is not determined by internal/external factors
• determinism- the view that behaviour is outside of our control and is caused by natural/ environmental influences
• Types of determinism- hard determinism- the view that all behaviour is caused by forces outside a person's control- genetically predisposed, had traumatic experience as a child, has experience with role models.
• soft determinism- the view that behaviour is still determined by internal and external influence forces but, an individual can still exercise control over it- influenced by many biological, environmental and unconscious factors but has made a conscious choice to behave that way.
