In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the macro and micro implications of the classic philosophical debate of Free Will vs. Determinism. We look at how one's overall social, cognitive, and physical environment plays a crucial role in shaping one's beliefs and behaviors. Furthermore, we look at Free Will and Determinism from a management perspective, even going into personal responsibility and moral duty toward shaping our environments. Lastly, we have a look at so-called Stand-Your-Ground laws and brazen/brutal attitudes toward personal accountability applied to the poor or those otherwise environmentally disadvantaged.
