The age old question. Are leaders made or are they born? My belief on this – I believe that a leader is made‚ not born. Why do I say that? Before going further‚ lets be clear on one distinction – when we say a leader is made‚ it does not mean that someone can be taught to become a leader by attending leadership courses. While it helps‚ it is not enough. Warren Bennis (a leading leadership researcher) believes that one cannot be taught to become a leader but one can learn to become a leader over the

In philosophy‚ free will is “the power of self-determination” (Vaughn 219). If we have free will that would mean that we are free to make decisions about our lives and our future. We can decide all kinds of things from if we are going to get out of bed in the morning to if we are going to worship God. These decisions are not just what we are going to do‚ but also what we are going to think and what we are going to believe or disbelieve. In addition‚ in philosophy‚ there is the doctrine of determinism

Free will is fundamental to human existence (Arnason‚ 2011). Neuroscience implies that free will is not a defining feature of humanness‚ but is in fact an illusion concealed by biochemical complexity (Burns & Bechara‚ 2007).

Various experiments into the phenomenon appear to show that we do not have conscious free will‚ however these experiments have

צָפוּי‚ וְהָרְשׁוּת נְתוּנָה” – “Everything is foreseen‚ and free will is given.” Most commentaries understand this mishna to be referring to the philosophical paradox of free will and divine foreknowledge. Thus‚ this statement of the mishna‚ that “Everything is foreseen” and that “free will is given” is seemingly based upon the following underlying assumptions: (1) that Hashem is indeed omniscient and knows the future and (2) that free will is indeed given to man. The first assumption‚ Hashem’s

only 8 years old. It was not I whom had been bullying others‚ yet others had bullied me. American Born Chinese hits home for me because I was once in that position where being in the “United” States had made me feel more isolated and forsaken than any other event in my existence. “You’re in America. Speak English” (Yang‚ 2008‚ p. 31). This is something that I have heard on numerous accounts. American Born Chinese is not only relatable to me‚ but it can also be described as something many “foreigners”

Free speech is extremely important‚ but there were times in the past when it was limited‚ for example‚ the Klansas City Kable and the Alien and Sedition Act‚ when the government was justified for doing so. Free speech plays an essential role in our democracy. Where would we be without free speech? There is no point in democracy if you can’t express yourself. Our freedom depends on free speech. If we didn’t have free speech‚ we wouldn’t be able to freely state our opinions. Another reason why free

Is Man Born Good Or Evil? I do not think that man was born neither good nor evil‚ I believe that man are raised into there chosen behavior because of the society‚ environment‚ family‚ culture‚ or even the media‚ but I believe man has this natural instinct to be good or evil.I do believe that man is both good and evil.
