Question 3

involuntary actions

Answer 3

two types of involuntary

and done under compulsion (this one)

Question 4

two types under compulsion

Answer 4

straight forward
eg no intention the actions were external and the person contributes nothing to the action therefore lacks agency and the person is not responsible

mixed
eg the action in that moment was in control ie they decided to take the action instead of the alternative but was compelled and didnt really choose or intend these actions. because there was agency the person is at fault but take in circumstance - forgiven and pardoned

Question 5

non voluntary actions

Answer 5

done from ignorance
we don’t know all the facts we misinterpret or misunderstand the situation

we responsible?

eg regret and wished we acted differently - the action was against our intention still responsible but forgiven and pardoned

eg no regret and didn’t wish we acted differently- judged and fully responsible as if voluntary action.
