The American writer of Russian origin Ayn Rand once said: “Man is a being endowed with free will; therefore, every man is potentially good or bad, and it is up to him and him alone (through his reasoning mind) to decide what he wants to be. The meaning behind Rand's words is that an individual has the power to choose between good and evil and it is precisely this power that allows a human to truly live as a human. However, it is when this specific power, these choices, and the freedom to act on these choices are removed that an individual is not truly considered a being. Without the power to choose, without choice and free will in one's life, a person, even if he breathes, is not truly living. Free will is an extremely important part of human life because it is what makes us human, what allows us to live and lead a life different from countless other individuals in the world. The subject of the power to choose between good and evil and that of free will can be perfectly expounded in Anthony Burgess's philosophical and dystopian novel, A Clockwork OrangCrime And Criminality Case Study - 2439
