Freedom comes in different forms when described in different types of situation. Whether, it is to be physically free from jail or internally having the ability to say whatever a person wants to another individual, whatever the type, freedom approaches in various of forms that focuses on the idea that humans have the ability to be free to do or say things. Fatalism, however, expresses the idea that God has predetermined humans past, present, and future while also determining who is going to heaven or hell before the birth of a human, making life inevitable. There is no logical evidence that supports the claim that fatalism is real because their ideas on fate are proven to be changable through freedom; fatalism turns God’s goodwill to that…show more content… Authors Douglas Burnham and George Papanderopoulos mentions in Existentialism, “freedom entails something like responsibility, for myself and for my actions.” explaining that humans are entitled to their responsibility if they have done something wrong.
