Journal Reflection 2 One of the concepts that I found very interesting this week is how people’s personality is shaped by the society and people tend to remember exactly what they want to remember while forgetting the rest of it. The concept of free will comes when it comes to the social information and the way people take in that information. We all have our own preferences which can turn into bias even unknowingly and when we take in any kind of information, those implicit biases tend to tamper with the information and make us remember exactly what we prefer. I think the concept of will is very important because it also determines how some people choose to follow the path guided by moralistic values even when they face inequalities while many other people choose to forcefully take what they think they deserve.
