How much can people be blamed for their own wrongdoing? Is it unrealistic to think we might curb the extent to which we judge one another?
If the universe is taken to be essentially determined, then surely this impacts the way everybody's behaviour should be evaluated. Very often, people's ideas on determinism and free will go straight to issues of criminal justice and 'retribution', so we'll spend a good amount of time considering these. There's also some quick religious perspectives, and discussion related to one of the great incubators of human judgement - the schoolyard.
