Topic Proposal


I am interested in writing my research paper on whether or not humans have control over their own actions. In my philosophy class we are studying this argument. I am interested in this topic in my philosophy class, and I would like to do further research. I do have a little knowledge of this topic since I am reading about it, but we are only using one source of research in my class. There are many arguments for and against the idea of free will, and I have not yet chosen a side. If I research this topic further, then I will be able to answer my question with a firm stance. I think that most people would care about this argument, because I believe most people think they do have free will over their actions. This is why it is an issue everywhere with all people. I have read a few arguments so far, and it is interesting to me how both sides pose strong cases. I would like to see what other authors, philosophers, and scientists have to say about this subject.

  1. I love it!!! that is an amazing topic, no joke. I wonder the same thing. If there was a definate answer it could show why some people pleade insanity to crimes and stuff. If I wasnt doing my topic, this would definately be my second choice, very nice subject!

  2. This is an awesome topic to do your paper on. Theres a lot of information out there to help you too. Its really wide and diverse so you shouldn't have trouble finding information. You can even use psychology in ur paper. Such as... someone can cut through ur head and touch a few stuff in ur brain and it will make ur hands move even without ur will. Crazy i know huh? ;D
    good luck on your paper!!!

  3. An interesting topic proposal. Thats cool that you chose to do it on human behavior or human actions. The way you got into this subject through your philosophy class was a nice touch, since you already have a bit of an understanding it'll be a lot more exciting gathering information. It'll be curious to see what kind of information or examples that you will use in your issue. Sound intreguing and have a great time reasearching.
