Firstly, let me just state I believe in principle there is no free will as such. As we grow and integrate into a society and culture we generally fall into a will established by society, "Society's Will" if you want to put it that way. However, what if there was no "Society's Will?".
Ok here's an example. You raise a young boy from birth until he is, say, 10 years old. And then for 10 years of his life he is placed into solitary confinement until age 20, now obviously he will have some activities in his room to keep him from going crazy ya know television, musical instruments, videogames, movies, whatever.. Now, we take a send child, and they are placed in confinement with the exact same activities set before them for their 10 years alone. The question is, since there is no "Society's Will" anymore to govern what is right and wrong in these people's minds, do they branch of and create their own unique will, with its various rules and conditions OR is there a sort of underlying..
