1) In the first case for Compatibilism, Hard Determinism and Libertarianism Dave is not

morally responsible for his actions since he does not want to kill Todd and had a
muscle spasm which is out of his control. Since he is not responsible for his action
and external factors (brain tumor) determine his actions.

2) For Hard Determinism external events controlling Dave’s action for that reason he is
not morally responsible. Because Dave do not have free will to stop himself not to kill
Todd because he was suffering from shell shock and see hallucinations which is an
external cause. Although for Libertarianism and Compatibilism Dave is morally
responsible for his actions.

3) In this case Dave morally responsible for compatibilism because he chooses to go to a

psychiatrist and believe the psychiatrist. He can choose to not to believe the
psychiatrist as well as he can look out for better psychiatrists. For the reason that,
Compatibilism determines free actions those that are voluntarily people always act
freely and responsible for their behavior, even though their behavior is inevitable. In
that case Dave have the free will to not go to psychiatrists. For the hard determinism
and Libertarianism Dave is not morally responsible for his actions.
4) In this case Dave is morally responsible for his actions for Libertarianism and
Compatibilism. He showing off the gun and he was handling carelessly. So, he should
be aware of guns are dangerous and could kill people. In this case Dave has the
whole responsibility for death of Todd. Libertarians believe that we have the capacity
to be morally responsible. However, for Hard determinism Dave is not morally
responsible for his actions.

5) For this case we can say that Dave is morally responsible for his action in the case of
Libertarianism and Compatibilism. Because he has the capacity to not to drink that
much alcohol. Maybe what Dave did is unconscious but he has the will to not to be
drunk. Because what Libertarians claim is free choices are grounded in the free will of
the person and hence are not the inevitable result of previous case. For the Hard
Determinism Dave is not morally responsible for his actions.

6) In this case we can see the effects of Hard Determinism because Dave’s actions
determined by external functions. As B.F. Skinner said that a person’s behavior is
controlled by his genetic and environmental histories. In this case Dave is not
responsible for his parents and because his environmental history he tends to do
something aggressive. So, for Hard Determinism, Dave is not morally responsible his
actions. However, for the Compatibilism and Libertarianism Dave is morally
responsible for his actions.

7) In this case we can say that for Libertarianism and Compatibilism Dave is morally
responsible for his actions. Since he has an affair with his friend’s wife and wanted to
kill Todd. Because Dave has a freedom and capacity to not to kill his friend Todd but
Dave did it anyway. But for the Hard Determinism Dave is not morally responsible for
his actions.
