[PASSED] Are We Truly Free? [PASSED]
by Gildarts 28/9/2014, 7:47 pm
Are we Truly Free? My Opinion: No, Freedom is an illusion. We are being controlled in one way or another but it is important here to not generalize control as purely evil. We are free from some kinds of control and this gives us the illusion of freedom. Our behavior is not determined by ourselves but by "reinforcers" in society that are present to promote or stop certain behavior. |

Being free and having freedom arent necessarily the same thing. We have a lot of freedoms, but in some sense you need all the kinds of freedom to be considered free.
Anyway, who do you mean with reinforcers? Media? Political figures? Because sure they all influence our thinking, but we are allowed (if sometimes unable) to analyse their influence on our own and as such have a certain freedom from those influences.
