Paper Summary:

Are people and their situations the result of their own actions or are they merely a pawn in the game of life with every move already predetermined? Do people truly have autonomy, or are they controlled by determinism? This paper examines these questions by discussing theories related to determinism.

From the Paper:

"Determinism is often defined as a theory that some higher power or law guides every aspect of the universe, as is the case of God's law in Christianity. Every facet of the universe depends upon and is conditioned by their causes. In 'hard' determinism, every facet of existence is directly a cause by the law . In hard determinism, every event in life is a direct effect of all the events that preceded it; therefore, these events are set and predetermined."
