Freedom and determinism in erich fromm

The argument of freedom and determinism between psychologists and philosophers has existed for many years. Philosophers search and researches are going on to get the solution of the problems that human being either free or determine. We are still not in a position to give the answer of the question regarding human freedom and determination. People who are determined assume that behavior is determined by outside and internal forces performing on the human being. For example of an outside force could be parents supporting a kind of behavior thereby encouraging it. On the other hand an internal force would be driven by hormones. People who believe in free will assume that things are a bit difficult. They know that there is external and internal factors but they believe that people are free to choose their own action. The freedom and determination debate could be finished up by the query that “could a person's behavior have been different in a certain situation if they willed it? People who are deterministic would disagree and those who believe in free will would agree.
