Do we have free will?

From Open Culture I came across this excerpted video about neuroscience research and what it tells us about the choices we make.  In discussing Existentialism and Kafka's The Metamorphosis, this video segment provides a counterargument to the belief that we are free as individuals to make choices separate from religious, cultural, and environmental factors.

Regardless of your beliefs, the video entitled Neuroscience and Free Will will provide information that you may find useful as we generate essay topics over The Metamorphosis.  Please take a look and be ready to discuss.  From the Open Culture website you can access the entire video “Unconscious determinants of free decisions in the human brain.”
