Introduction

Aristotle maintains the point of view in the context of the responsibility that the actions people perform shaped up by their habits and must be viewed in the perspective of this theory. Aristotle also lays the foundation of his point of view on the act of necessity, that the habits individual tend to adopt will ultimately shape up their actions and be dictated by it whether it is according or against the law of the land (Amelie, 1980). However, the individuals are fully responsible for the habits which they tend to adapt in the context of the situation; therefore, their acts should not be seen in Isolation rather in the context of the whole picture.

Many philosophers are of the view that the cause itself is adequate in order to craft an action out of rather than the inevitability of that action, which is infect is in agreement to the argument of the Aristotle (John, 2000). This theory of Aristotle, is in direct confrontation with his earlier theory where he discusses the fact, the individual should only be held accountable for the acts a person does knowingly. He is not in any way is responsible for his actions, performed, unknowingly. Although his present theory, accepted by many philosophers and for me the ground this theory holds is much stronger than the previous one (Christopher, 2007).

Considering the Aristotle theory, of responsibility I tend to agree with the argument he built that people behave, in a certain way because they have shaped up themselves in that way. If everything tends to be controlled by the god, then why is this brain given to the human being, given alternately to change his surroundings.
