Free Will and Determinism

If there is is no free will in this world then we wouldn't be able to learn from our mistakes and have our own choices whether they are right or wrong. With out free will our lives would be pre-determined by god and he would know every move we make and what the consequences will be. Free will allows us to believe in what ever we want and to do things that aren't determined for us, therefor we don't know what the outcome will be and will have to face what ever consequence we create for ourselves and others, as the consequences are not only made for you but others in the world too. The whole human race together have a free will which means they make decisions for themselves, but these decisions cause consequences for all people in the world whether they haven't done anything wrong or have. Determinism is opposite to this, every human has there lives set out for them which i think shouldn't happen in this world because having a free will means you determine your life for yourself.
There are four main types of determinism, Causal Determinism; everything in the universe including all human actions and choices has a cause, one sin can lead to a big thing, Cultural Determinism; the way people are determines there up bringing, they become that way because of what happen to them, they had no choice in it, Theological Determinism; God controls everything and people have no choice, our choices are pre-determined by him, Scientific Determinism; For every physical event there is a physical cause. I think we need free will on this earth as WE get to determine who we become, and we shouldn't be on this earth to do something, but to be someone.
Causal determinism means we are determined to do something, whether it means something huge or just small, but doing something that seems like it might not have much meaning can lead to one big catastrophe. for example Billy and Suzy throw rocks at a window. Suzy throws first so that her rock arrives first and shatters the glass. Without Suzy's throw, Billy's throw would have shattered the window. Suzy caused the shattering, since even if Suzy did not throw her rock, Billy would have shattered the glass anyway, and there would have been no causal chain connecting Suzy to the shattered window. This doesn't make much sense to me but the example helps understand what causal determinism is, i think if someone does something bad it could lead to something much worse but anyone could cause it, even if it is something small and 'meaningless'. causal determinism to me means you are determined to do things that would lead to something good or something that you don't even know you could cause to happen, and it happens no matter what, you have no choice in it, and even if you cause it someone else will and it will end up happening anyway. I think that whether you or someone does something little that causes something huge, it doesn't matter who does it because no one will end up knowing who actually caused it.
Cultural Determinism means someones life is determined by the society within they were raised, how they are brought up,by there parents or guardian. If there parents raise them telling them do to bad things, they wont know right from wrong and horrible things they do will be caused because of there up bringing and beliefs, and what they got told and taught as a child.
For example i have got brought up well, so i know what is right and wrong and what my parents and school expects of me, i act in the right manner because of my up bringing and how i was taught things. two men called, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, brought up into a wealthy, smart families, and brilliant smart students that were expected by everyone to be one of distinction and honor, committed a horrible crime, just for the thrill. Leopold claimed that even murder, was an acceptable act for a superman to commit if the deed gave him pleasure. Morality did not apply in such a case. These two men committed a terrible crime, they kidnapped and murdered Richard Loebs (one of the men) cousin Robert Franks who was only 14. The two boys were sentenced the death penalty BUT, Darrow ( there lawyer ) denied that human actions were freely chosen and rationally arranged. Individuals acted less on the basis of free will and more as a consequence of childhood experiences that found their expression in adult life. How, therefore, Darrow reasoned, could any individual be responsible for his or her actions if they were predetermined? He managed to secure them life imprisonment instead, arguing to the judge that he needs to consider three mitigating factors in determining their punishment: their age, their guilty plea and their mental condition. Darrow persuaded the judge that they were mentally ill— and managed to save them from the death penalty.
 I think that Cultural Determinism in some way makes sense to me as the way people are brought up kinda determines how there life will be because, the things that they got taught by there parents is how they decide to live there life, although this sad story about the two men killing an innocent child, had nothing to do with cultural determinism, they were brought up into a perfect lifestyle, it was them who chose to murder bobby, for no reason just for the thrill of it, cultural determinism is effected in some way for peoples life's, but what they choose do be and to do is up to them, they decide for themselves, and this example is a prime reason for why cultural determinism, isn't exactly why people do what they do with there lives.
Theological determinism however is a totally different theory that states that god controls everything and everyone and that we have no choice, our actions are pre-determined by him. this means that everything we do, every move we make, has already got an outcome of what will happen, no matter what, god pre-determines our whole life. As we might think what we chose is what we want but really the other way would be impossible.
I understand that god created this earth therefor he determines how our life will be set out, but i think that he doesn't know every move we make and every problem we face, because he put us on this earth with free will, which means we get to determine our own lives for ourselves, we get to face the consequence that we made for ourselves and God chose it to be that way, none of us knowing what is going to happen, not even him. He gave us free will for us to set up our lives the way we want to.
Therefor without free will there would be no risks and we wouldn't be able to live up to the way we set up our lives, the choices we make and consequences we face all determine our future, but really its us who determines our own lives.
