One might also consider the impact of simple concepts such as context or scale on these ideas.
In the scale of the single individual one might be said to be free to take individual action with the framework of under or overlying forces.
In societal terms one might say that our actions are determined by external factors such as environment, upbringing etc.
In scientific terms, on a smaller scale our world is dictated by the interactions of atoms and on a cosmic scale by forces such as by gravity.
In short, the question of "freedom" might be best assessed within a given context - a form of deterministic relativism, so to speak.
