Well for a start define determinism Every action has a cause, a part of the causal chain so you have no choices, no free will. Every action is caused by something. You are not held responsible for any of your actions For example: You are brought uo in an abusive household and so you will go on to abuse your own family. You will not be held morally responsible for your actions because that is how you were raised, you did not choose to be that way. Those who believe on free will will argue that the person had e choice to be abusive to their own family, they could have chosen to seek help and deal with the problem but they chose not to, Another idea is that of genetics, Say alchoholism runs in the family, it is in your DNA you cannot be held responsbile for beong an alchoholic because it is a genetic predisoition. It is INHERITED and yiu cannot control or choose your genes. I hope this made sense!! If it doesnt then i will fail my philosophy exam (!) so i hope it does. Haha

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle as well as wave-particle duality prevent any form of determinism at the quantum level.
