This paper evaluates the topic of human freedom with reference to theories propounded by famous sociologists, psychologists
and philosophers. It
examines how actions of human beings are often restricted by factors that are beyond our control. But in the areas where man is allowed to exercise his free will, his actions are based on different values and ends. It shows how before man developed any psychological or
sociological views on the concept of free will, there was always the religious view on this subject and how free will is controlled by God. It examines the theories of Thomas Hobbes and Erving Goffman, who dealt with the concept from a philosphical and sociological view and Abraham Maslow and Sigmund Freud who dealt with the subject of free will from a psychological point of view.
