Answer:

I think this was around the time I was in the sixth or seventh grade or something.  Anyhow, while we were sitting there in the classroom, the nun had me get up.  

I used to be an altar boy, and we had to speak our prayers in Latin.  She was going over the Latin prayers with me to see if I knew them all, pronounced the words properly, had them memorized and all that.

I knew I was doing it correct.  But she kept yelling at me and telling me I am saying it wrong.

So she had a belt, you know, with three knots in it.  She took that and started whipping me, telling me, "You were saying it wrong," and all that.

After the third or fourth time saying I am doing it right with no tears in my eyes -- I am too stubborn to cry anyhow.  I looked at her and said, "I am saying it right!"

She said, "You are saying it wrong!"  

So she started whipping me, and I lowered my shoulder and put it down and plowed right into her.  She was up by the blackboard.  You know those big, long blackboards we used to get up to write on.

That thing collapsed and fell right on top of her!

I said, "Oh, I am in trouble!"

I headed toward the back of the room and there was an open window there.  Everybody was busy with their work.  That window was next to a tree.

This was on the second floor up.  I jumped out that window and onto that tree limb and got down that tree and escaped.  They were busy talking care of that nun with that blackboard on top of her.

I escaped.  It was one of those times I ran away.

Humboldt challenged European nations about the American Continent, this sentence implies that Humboldt contradicted some comments about the continent.

The philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to choose to act other than the wa
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Free will.

Explanation:

The choice of an individual to make up his own mind and decisions unimpeded is known as free will. This is a state of mind giving full access and authority to the individual to do what he wants and what he likes without being influenced or helped by an outside force or individual. This ability of the person to act without the help or forced will of someone else is infused on everyone and it is up to us on how we use our own free will. The issue of fate vs. free will had been an ongoing debate within philosophers, even theologians but there had been no definite solution to this debate.

Thus, we can say that<u> free will</u> is the philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to chose to act other than the way they do.
