Answer to Question 1

Indeterminism holds that your choices, or at least some of your choices, are random and so free. Libertarians are convinced that people are able to make genuinely free choices by exercising their free wills. In practical usage, both views are often included under the general category of Indeterminism.

Answer to Question 2

Schlick agrees with mainstream compatibilists that freedom means the opposite of compulsion: People are free if they do not act under compulsion, and they are compelled or unfree when they are inhibited from without in the realization of their natural desires.
- However, Schlick contends, the feeling of freedom does not say that under exactly the same inner and outer condition we could have willed something else.
- As a result, Schlick's views in this regard accord with determinism, which holds that all human actions are brought about by previous events in accordance with universal causal laws.
- The feeling of responsibility assumes that I acted freely, that my desires impelled me.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
