FREE WILL
This article considers the causal impact of a disbelief in free will with a specific focus on law and ethics. Studies conducted to determine the impact of disbelief in free will. One impact is that when people have doubts about free will they tend to have less support for punishment aimed at making a person suffer for her misdeeds.
If someone runs over a boy because they were not paying attention and other does it but it was because the boy suddendly run in the street, those people who doubt free will both of them have the same responsability. Otherwise, the people who believe in free will, would say that the first one should be punished but the second is not morally responsible. One rather important point is to consider what view we should have regarding free will. I take a practical view of this matter and believe in free will. As I see it, if I am right, then I am…right. If I am wrong, then I could not believe otherwise. So, choosing to believe I can choose is the rational choice: I am right or I am not at fault for being wrong. we cannot prove that we have free will. After all, deterministic, random and free-will universes would all seem the same to the people in them.

REASONING WITH EXPERTS
People often believe an expert's opinion just because they are an authority. But sometimes experts don't agree and they have opposites opinions. So on one knows who's right. If you know about the field in question you can read both opinions and get your own conclusion.
People tend to pick an expert based on the fact that seh agrees with you alredy believed. This is a fallacious reasoning. They also use reasoning of wishful thinking. Other prejuice that people should avoid is judding factors like height, appearance, gender, age personality, religion, etc.
Some factors people have to see when they believe an expert are:
-the person has enough experience in the subject.
-the claim being made by the person is within her area of expertise.
My personal opinion about this is that this is really interesting and the advices are good and useful. From now, all of us shpult try to follow all of them and leave our prejuices. I'm gonna use my capacity of reasoning in the better way posible, look for information and other experts opinion when I have to give my opinion and arguments at something.

Introduction
Heeey,
My name is Lucía, I'm from Tomares, Sevilla. Well, I should introduce myself and stuff I guess, but I find it boring as well as worthless. However, I'm supposed to write posts, my thinkings and my opinions in this blog, so the presentation it's not that important ´cause you'll know me better in some time. Even though I am really bad at expressing myself and I don't wanna do the introduction right now, I will have to try it due to the fact this will have a mark, I want to pass this subject. Alright, I absolutly love music, especially dubstep and rap. Seriously, I love it, it's much better than listening to dumb people, isn't it? Other things that I like? My dog. She's the cutest dog ever! She's now almost two months. We've called her Nora, it has been difficult to name her, finally we agreed in Nora though.
I also enjoy doing karate. I've been practising it for 8 years I think, I hope to continue doing karate for a long time. In my free time, I watch series, usually online owing to the series broadcast on TV are.. How to say it politely? ah yes, are done badly, including the dubbing into spanish. Nowadays, I'm watching The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, The Vampire Diaries and Game of Thrones. I've alredy finished Breaking Bad, Skins, How I Met Your Mother and so on. I have to include that I love horror films, not forgetting 'Saw'.
One important thing about myself, well, it's not really important due to being the teacher the only one who is going to read this. Whatever, I'm always awfully bored, principally at school. To be honest, I hate school. Too many people hate it, actually, it even causes mental issues in a few students although most people don't think so. They should be concerned about that, anyway they won't.
I've written enough, haven't I? So this is me, thank you for reading!
P.S. Teacher give me a good mark please (5 is ok) , I've worked on it. (Whether you get mad at me for this I'll apologise, but don't suspend me plz).
I'll write soon! :D
