Within our society‚ it is usually assumed that we have free will. If you were to ask a random person on the street‚ they would most likely respond to the question‚ "Do you have free will or is there Fate" with the affirmation that they make their own decisions‚ because God gives us free will.

A smoke-free campus Smoking is bad for everyone. When people have a non-smoking area‚ they really appreciate it. However‚ some people ruin the place where there are signs that is prohibited; they still smoke in that place. On the other hand‚ almost every school‚ college and university is smoke-free.

Free Will The concept of free will‚ as well as the debate surrounding it‚ is and has always been exceptionally convoluted.
