Definitions:

Soft Determinism

A thesis that accepts determinism but claims that certain kinds of causes—namely, a person’s character—will allow us to call his or her actions free. The soft determinist is therefore a compatibilist, who believes in both freedom and determinism.

Responsible

Having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role.

Determined Actions

Refers to actions whose outcomes are influenced or dictated by prior conditions or laws, suggesting a lack of free will.

Compatibilism

The thesis that both determinism (in some interpretations) and free action can be true. Determinism does not rule out free action, and the possibility of free action does not require that determinism be false. They are compatible positions.
