    Key Terms

    Constitutes(used to explain how practice creates the concept of responsibility)

    James(as the philosopher being discussed)
    William James, an American philosopher from the late 1800s who developed a theory called pragmatism—the idea that beliefs are true if they work well in practice and help us live better lives.
    discrete experience(describing individual units of consciousness)
    A single, separate moment of awareness or perception—a distinct unit of what you experience, like one thought or sensation that's separate from the next.
