What is the belief that the individual has free will and should be accountable for his/her actions?

Stoicism
Naturalism
Humanism
Nonconformism

The correct answer is: Humanism

Humanism is the belief that the individual has free will and therefore is responsible and accountable for their own actions. This philosophy encourages self-reflection and personal growth, emphasizing the importance of making conscious choices and taking responsibility for the consequences. The other options are incorrect as they do not advocate for free will or individual accountability. Stoicism is a philosophical school of thought that promotes emotional detachment and accepting fate as it is. Naturalism states that all phenomena, including human behavior, can be explained through natural causes and laws. Nonconformism is the belief in deviating from societal norms and expectations, but does not necessarily focus on individual accountability.
