The Big A

Ms.Lees question was "was a person's life path determined before they were born? Is it today? Or can a man change his stars as the clip suggests?"
My opinion toward the fact the person's life path is already determined before they were born, I don't agree with the fact that "fate" or destiny" is there to fully decide our life but i agree that the person's path can be slightly determined, such as environment around them.
To support my first point that you can change your destiny any time. It simply requires strong determination and will to change your future. Appius Claudius, Roman statesman once had said "each man is the architect of his own fate." This means that everyone can do whatever they wish to do and change any time they want.
But not everyone has strong determination, to some people they give up because of their environment that is surrounding them. To give an example, kids that have alcoholic, violent, or who does drug, parents it is highly likely the child is going to grew up different then as most of kids who was raised by loving family. The reality is quite harsh, there are lots of kids who has been raised up that way, and when they became an adult, not many of them became a person who we really want it to be when they grow up.
In conclusion, the person's life path is not fully determined before they were born but environment around them can affect them as their way of living.
