Hello!
I'm glad you've found my blog...now let's hope you find it interesting. This blog is designed to examine the nature of human nature from a psychology student's perspective. But not only do I recognize that my background in psychology will influence the way in which I view the material covered in the course, I also understand that my race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, age, and gender may influence my approach to the subject matter. This can easily be said for everyone in the class. Our environment has shaped the way we react to, approach, and think about everything that confronts us and also everything we freely chose to ponder. I'm already referring to the nature vs. nurture debate! Once I've read the assigned article for the first Q & A, I'll discuss free will and determinism here.

I look forward to it.
I agree that at some level our "free will" choices are influenced by the multiple factors you listed and as PJ said in class, they are too numerous and incomprehensible to enumerate.
