You always have the power to choose...

This debate explores the idea that no matter the situation, every individual retains the ability to make choices. I believes that choice is a constant - whether it’s in thought, response, or action - and that even under pressure, people can still decide how they react. Every decision, no matter how small or constrained, reflects our personal agency. I will counter the stance on having an illusion of choice; to state it is still in the individuals control to flip the choices. On the other hand, the opposition may argue that real-life limitations - such as poverty, trauma, coercion, or systemic oppression - can strip people of meaningful options, making true choice an illusion. This debate will test the boundaries of free will, responsibility, and the human capacity for decision-making in all circumstances.
