Briefly discuss two types of determinism

one type of determinism is biological determinism. this type of determisism states that behaviour is purely a result of an individuals biological make up, i.e. genetics, hormones etc. it doesnt take into account an indiividuals environmental situation.

another type of determinism is hard determinsim. this type of determinism states that an individuals behaviour is completely controlled by factors outside of their control, be it biological reasons, or environmental reasons. according to this approach, humans have no free will.
