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.
