Looking at my own past life experiences, I believe that a lot of my experiences have been outwith my own control (determinism) and that I could not have done anything to change these. However, I do believe that I am here, on this course, completely of my own free will - but can only stay as long as conditions allow. Thus, I feel that we do have free will, but this is within the restriction of parameters that are determined by other factors/forces/people/events.

Free will is an illusion we have created for ourselves. In reality, all of our "choices" are infuenced by third party operatives. We are motivated to do things because we fear consequences.

I personally believe in free will but think that compatibilism is an easier concept to except that we do have free will to the extent that we have free will but that is dictated by our culture and background

If we look at Determinism in a different way as 'not implying control or constraint' then it is easier to believe in Compatibilism where there is no conflict with Free Will and our actions are determined.

Certain members in our group argue that free will exists if you believe it to exist. Free will allows us to apply blame and responsibility on those whom we believe have acted wrongly. However, some of us agree that physical laws are the reason behind why we act in a certain way.

We think that our backgrounds and experiences influence the decisions we make. Surface freedoms are easier choices for us to make, so harder choices are maybe the ones that are influenced more by our past experiences.

We do have free will but it is extremely influenced by multiple forces around us (third parties).

Some of us agree more with the idea of determinism because we are constantly being influenced by internal and external factors. Therefore all decisions are subconsciously pre-determined.

if determinism is true, I see no reason to think it would be impossible to think about my options and to make choices based on which option seems best
