In this chapter will explore and examine the ethical and moral person as well as ethical and moral actions. Human actions are difficult to understand at the best of times. Numerous influences affect our decisions in everyday life. The chapter will identify and analyze several influences on human behaviour.
Freedom is a concept that is often misunderstood. Some individuals claim that freemom does not exist while others say that we have control over our lives. This chapter will also explore the concept of human freedom from various perspectives.
Throughout time, humans have tried to analyze and understand human action. This chapter will also explore a framework from which to analze human action.
"Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others."
The Dalai Lama

"You are what you do"
The actions you make, make the person that you are. If someone asks you to do something, you are the only one in the end that will ultimately do it. No one can MAKE you do anything, it's up to you and the person that you are.
It’s not our intentions that define who we are, it is our actions. The road to hell is paved with good intention, for I doubt anyone performs an act of evil willingly, I refuse to believe such people exist. However I will disagree with the previous comment, I think people can make you do things against your will. Others words can make you do things you would rather not. Words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with extortion, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and subjugation. And where once I had the freedom to object, to think and speak, I now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing my conformity and soliciting my submission. I refused it all. Respectfully. I regret defending my principles for the sake of truth.
What you do stems off of, who your parents are through genetics, hwo oyu were raised, and what community you grew up in as well as life experiences with peopel and things which may have shaped you. All these things that you do shape oyu as a person into further choices which define further who you are till the day you die.
