3. Visual Determinism and free will are two opposite points of view regarding
human behavior. A determinist does not believe that a person freely chooses a
lifestyle, whereas the believer in free will contend that one is free to change one’s
lifestyle at any time. A determinist sees biological and social forces determining
one’s decisions. Conversely, a proponent of free will discount the influence of
these forces in shaping one’s life. Determinism can be a pessimistic philosophy,
free will a hopeful one.

6. Emphysema is a respiratory disease in which walking, running, and exhaling are
difficult. Some researchers suggest that the environment plays an important role

researchers have pointed to certain hereditary deficiencies in people who develop
emphysema. Cigarette smoking will also trigger emphysema in those people
whose environment and hereditary encourage this disease.
