For me‚ the social system of the Philippines is neither conservative or liberated‚ maybe both. Because there are conservative people that still uses old practices and beliefs. There are also liberated people that go with the new world‚ they do what Americans and other races do. They also do not treasure practices and beliefs anymore. The current economic system of the Philippines for me was very bad because the rich is only getting richer and the poor is only getting poorer. The rich families have

Kant‚ a soft determinist‚ said that in order to make a moral decision we must have freedom. Kant believed that the ability to make moral decisions lay within the existence of freedom; stating that if we are not free to make our own decisions those decisions could not be moral as we were never free to make that decision in the first place. Kant thought that a person could be blamed for an action if they could have acted differently; for example if a person’s family is held at gunpoint and they are
