Introduction
There are growing bodies of philosophers and scientists who concedethat consciousness is a distinct mental stature and settle that the idea of free will is merely amisconception, a hoax primarily initiated by our brains. In other terms, thisis perceived as a view that has existed for several decades. However, during this era, this view has intensified given that several thoughts allude to the fact that this is a misinterpretation of research. The primacy of this review remains in distinctively drawing an understanding from the literatures provided as to how consciousness plays a role in influencing our actions.

On the other hand, Zombians admit that awareness can bar particular subconscious actions and decisions, an approach and role that informs the actions of an individual. Zombians therefore support claims that the existence of addictions and compulsions are mere examples that prove why the conscious awareness may fail to control the brain and actions of an individual(Klemm, 2010). In other words, the conscious mind knows exactly when an individual plans to engage in a bad or unlawful behavior by may not do anything about such a situation to reverse the cause of action. An individual’s excuse in such a situation is that he/she is drunk because of a brain syndrome or because their brains are systematically programmed by negative or adverse events that are out of control. This lucidity is therefore used in providing explanations to the personality and behaviorimperfections of a person.
According to Klemm (2010), outstanding theories of the mind are typically wrong. Klemm therefore alleges that criminals may not be held...
