..."Free will is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure." -Scott Adams. No words, thoughts or actions come from thin air. They are all forced on us from the day we were born, and will always be until the day we die. So with that being said, yes, I feel that free will is just an illusion. It's an illusion that is brought upon us so we don't ever realize the slaves we have become in our own world and society. We are formed by the people around us, people that portray themselves as being above us. We obey and follow rules that our society has brought to us. We agree and respect its values because they made us feel as if we do have the free will to vote and make the decisions they're actually making, In reality we...

...resting, the athlete will regain strength and his/her muscles will have built back up within the first week or so. Light workout would be expected to stay in shape, as well as not totally falling off some sort of eating schedule or plan. The athlete may begin some sort of cross training program to add a variety to training. However cross training should no longer be in the athletes workout plan prior to preseason because it is not necessarily sport specific. Preparatory Period: The preparatory season is the official off season for the athlete. For the first several weeks, the athlete will be in some sort of an endurance phase. Meaning whatever workouts they are participating in, they should aim to do low intensity and high volume. So for instance in the weight room they should be doing low weight with a higher amount of reps. Doing so allows for development of endurance base. Following the endurance phase should come the strength phase. This phase is a time where in the weight room the athlete would begin to add weight and lower the repetitions. This phase probably would not consist of as much cardio as the endurance phase depending on the sport and/or position. The third phase of the preparatory period is the power phase. The power phase is a time where the athlete would start doing heavy weight in the weight room or workouts and low reps, higher intensity workouts to start getting into competition shape. Volume is decreased to allow adequate recovery time. Competition Period: This...

...constantly did the same workouts, didn’t seem to see any new results. This is why elite trainer Tony Horton created P90X. Horton spent over 20 years in becoming an expert in various areas of fitness. Many call him the “Master of Motivation”, and others that are moved by him include movie stars, professional athletes, and normal people who want amazing bodies. Due to his vast knowledge and skills developed in this concept, he created the number one best-selling home fitness program. P90X is a 90-day home fitness system which is designed to get you in shape. The program includes 12 intense workouts that use resistance and body-weight training, cardio, plyometric, ab work, martial arts and yoga, along with a nutrition plan, fitness guide and workout calendar. The real secret behind P90X is the muscle confusion. The program uses target training phases to allow the body to keep adapting and growing on the workouts. There is a “plateau” that happens whenever a person keeps on doing the same workouts which the body already adapted to and that causes the body not to show any new results. Unlike the same old workout machines used at the gym, the P90X will keep your guessing and it won’t let your body get used to the workouts. When the muscle confusion occurs, your body won’t slow down or stop showing improvements. Some of the workouts in the program include short training cycles which challenge your muscles with intensity and variety at the same time. Also the workouts maximize the fat burning...

...A man who cannot choose ceases to be a man."Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange is a novel about moral choice and free will. Alex's story shows what happens when an individual's right to choose is robbed for the good of society. The first and last chapters place Alex in more or less the same physical situation but his ability to exercise free will leads him to diametrically opposite choicesgood versus evil. The phrase, "what's it going to be then, eh?," echoes throughout the book; only at the end of the novel is the moral metamorphosis complete and Alex is finally able to answer the question, and by doing so affirms his freedom of choice. The capacity to choose freely is the attribute that distinguishes humans from robots; thus the possibility of true and heartfelt redemption remains open even to the most hardened criminal. A Clockwork Orange is a parable that reflects the Christian concept of sin followed by redemption. Alex's final and free choice of the good, by leaving behind the violence he had embraced in his youth, brings him to a higher moral level than the forced docility of his conditioning, which severed his ability to choose and grow up. The question, "what's it going to be then, eh," is asked at the beginning of each section of the novel. In the first and third part it is asked by Alex, but in the second part it is asked by the prison chaplain. The answer does not come until the end of the novel when Alex grows up and exercises his ability to choose...

...him with all these abilities and qualities. But he also made man similar to animals in his carnal desires. And it is for man to choose if he will follow the path of spiritual development and refrain from sin. If he chooses this way, gradually he will be able to achieve perfection and to unite with God. This is the main purpose of man’s life. Creating man in his own image God let man know how much he loves man and what a great importance he places in his creation. So by fulfilling his purpose in life man participates in realization of God’s plan. But if man rejects the way of God, he will no longer be the God’s image or, in other words, he will not be man. The free will and the freedom of choice are two essential concepts here because man has been given the possibility to make a conscious choice. So only by using his free will he should slowly move to the union with his creator. On the other hand, this statement can mean that by creating man in his own image, God opposed him to the rest of the living creatures, as only man has the ability for conscious interpretation of reality, for abstract and...

...ARGUMENTS AGAINST DETERMINISM: MAN IS FREE, NO MORE, NO LESS INTRODUCTION The issues of Freedom and Determinism have been sensitive issues that have sparked off heated debates throughout history. The question whether man is really free has been a hard nut to crack and as a result of this, many attempts have been made by different individuals from both philosophical and theological point of view in their effort to explain and understand this concept ‘Freedom’. The line of thought that supports the notion of free will is also called libertarianism. DEFINITION OF CONCEPTS Before delving into the argument, it is worthy of note that the terms under discussion be given a definition for a better understanding of the terms. According to Advanced Learners’ Dictionary, determinism is the belief that people are not free to choose what they are like or how they behave because these things are decided by their background, surroundings and other things over which they have no control. It is simply the view that man is not free, that his actions are determined by certain causes. On another note, libertarianism according to the same source is the belief that people should have the freedom to do and think as they like. Freedom is simply man’s capacity to take hand in his own development. Concentrating more on the major object of my argument which is against determinism, the concept freedom was supported by both philosophers and theologians throughout history. On the part of the philosophers...

...Poem Analysis Essay ENGL 102 B07: Literature and Composition Summer 2011 Linda Vaughn L24421443 June 19, 2011 APA Style Outline I. Introduction A. Thesis II. Body A. Figures of Speech B. Imagery C. Tone IV. Conclusion Introduction Who, at one point or another in their life, has not pleaded with God for some tangible, physical help? Asking Him to take over, prove Himself, so that we can know that He is real and we can give our heart to Him. In the poem “Batter my heart, three-personed God”, written by poet John Donne, the speaker is asking God for exactly that. With his use of metaphors, paradoxes, and alliteration, we can actually feel the speaker’s urgency to be saved. The violent imagery and changes in tone throughout the poem prove just how desperate he is for God to take over control of him. Body The title itself, with the metaphor “Batter my heart”, draws the reader in. It captures the attention and makes one curious as to what will happen next in the poem. It gives the reader an image of destruction to an essential essence of life; for without a heart, we cannot survive. Is he stating that there is no life without God? The title also provides the initial tone of the poem. It gives the reader the impression that the speaker is desperate, vulnerable, and seeks to be violently manipulated. As we move on, we find that the speaker believes in the Holy Trinity, as he is pleading to the “three personed God”. ...

...Shane Correia The Written Book In the stories of Oedipus Rex and The Adjustment Bureau, the authors present a conflict between fate and freewill that leaves us, the readers, questioning whether or not fate or freewill is what governs us. This leaves the human mind to debate if the choices in our lives are really choices that we have been left free to make on our own or if we are simply provided the illusion of choice by a higher power that controls our destinies. In the film, The Adjustment Bureau, David Norris, who is the main character in the film is told that Elise, the woman he pursues through love, is about to become “one of the most famous dancers in the country, and eventually one of the world’s greatest choreographers. If she stays with [David], she ends up teaching dance to six year olds” (George Nolfi). Not to crush Elise’s dreams and interfere with her bright future, David ends his pursuit of her much in the same way that Oedipus leaves his father, “the man whom Oedipus, long ago, feared so, fled so, in dread of destroying him” (56). Both David and Oedipus leave their loved ones behind to avoid causing harm to them, but through fate, harm comes to them anyways. Elise is emotionally crushed without David in her life, and Oedipus inadvertently kills his own father. Through fate, one can argue that the pain that Elise and Oedipus’ father incur are unavoidable and that the illusion of choice was only granted to David and Oedipus in order to give the appearance...

...Leslie Jordan April 19, 2010 Paper 5 Does Free Will Exist? The idea of free will has always been a very interesting topic for me to discuss, because there really is no wrong answer of if free will exist or not. No one can provide proof of us having free or not unless they can talk with God and we all know that being able to actually talk to God and he actually respond is considered “crazy”. I believe that if you believe you have free will than you have free will. As children were always told that you can do and be whatever you want as long as you believe so I figure the same rule applies to free will. I am discussing the idea of free will with in the character Billy Pilgrim. The Tralfamadorians live with the knowledge of the fourth dimension, they believe that all moments of time are happening and taking place simultaneously. Because the Tralfamadorians believe that all moments of time have already taken place; they also believe their life path has been predetermined and they have no control over it, therefore causing the aliens not to believe in free will and finding it strange that humans do. According to the Tralfamadorians earthlings are the only species that believe they have free will, humans for some reason think of time as a linear progression. Most humans believe they have control over their lives and their destiny. Billy seems to have no control in his life or any free will at all throughout this novel, his free will is constantly being challenged. In one instance...

...Discuss at least two ways the principle of “cause and effect” applies to human behavior, especially as the principle applies to criminals and to criminal justice professionals. The cause will be the criminal actions. The effect will be the consequences the criminal will have to face when they complete or attempt the crime. For instance, if they rob a bank, they will have to face the consequences if and when they get caught. Also, if a person abuse a child out of frustration, they will have to face Child Protection Services and criminal charges of child abuse. Comment on this statement: If determinism is correct, then nothing happens that was not caused to happen by a necessary antecedent event or condition – including thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions. Determinism says that every event has a cause. Menaing our actions are caused by a prior event. If determinism is correct, then our actions are influences by a prior event. For example, a little girl is being bullied at school everyday. She retaliate by stabbing another student with a pencil for continously stabbing her. The bullying happened first(the cause) then the stabbing(the effect). Take a position on which philosophy is correct: (a) “internal” factors of determinism (biological and psychological) or (b) “ external” factors (norms, belief, culture, and sub-culture). Explain how each influences the responsibility of choice. The philosophy I believe is correct is external factors of...

...Prof. Kellenberger Phil 310 Free Will When grumpy old Scrooge of the famous movie A Christmas Carol went home on Christmas eve, he had no idea what awaited him. He experienced a night of anguish and terror after three ghosts visit him. Scrooge was a grumpy mean-spirited man after the death of his sister Fan. Just to prepare him for his “life” in death, his dead partner and friend Marley, who facilitates the entire nightmare, shows him the lost lonely spirits who were mean-spirited in their earthly lives. The first ghost who visited him that night was “the ghost of Christmas past”. This ghost serves to remind him how others had been kind to him during past Christmases in his youth and how people in his past embodied the Christmas spirit. This ghost served to instill guilt and remorse. Next, “the ghost of Christmas present” appears to Scrooge and shows him how everyone is enjoying Christmas and spreading the Christmas spirit around town. It also shows how his servant Bob, despite his meager earnings enjoys Christmas with his family. It also shows Scrooge his nephew Fred enjoying Christmas with his family. The two families only show downcast moods when discussing Scrooge. However, Fred maintains hope that his uncle Scrooge can change. After that, the most dreary “ghost of Christmas yet to come” appears to Scrooge. He shows Scrooge how Bob’s son death saddens everyone and leaves them feeling a sense of loss. He then shows him a rich dead man who nobody misses and some...

...Albert Rosales Professor: Gill Intro Philosophy: 213 In writing this paper, I was apprehensive by the immensity of the task that was required of me, having never studied Philosophy and philosophers before this class and not having a good understanding of it. I could not begin to comprehend Metaphysics, Ethics Epistemology etc. if it was not for this course. This may sound ignorant but I had never really given any thought to my worldview. If asked what I believed about something I would give my belief and that was that. What exactly is a worldview? A worldview is what it sounds like. It is the way one may see the world or as Nash puts it in his book Life’s Ultimate Questions “the sum total of a person’s answers to the most important questions in life(392).” Everyone has a worldview whether we realize it or not. How does one get their worldview? Our education, our upbringing, the culture we live in, the books we read, the media and movies we watch, all can help shape our worldview. Nash says, “Worldviews contain at least five clusters of beliefs, namely, beliefs about God, metaphysics (ultimate reality), epistemology (knowledge), ethics and human nature (14).” Using these five sections I will share my worldview. In general my worldview is a Christian one. I believe that there is one God who exists in three forms who created the Heavens and the earth. In the Bible Genesis 1:1 tells of how God is the beginning of everything; he created the heavens and the earth out of nothing...
