Individual Agency

Individual agency refers to a person’s capacity to make choices and act independently, based on their own preferences, beliefs, and values. It involves the ability to influence one's circumstances and navigate life’s opportunities and challenges actively. While external factors like social, economic, or cultural influences can impact us, individual agency emphasizes personal control and decision-making in shaping our path. It highlights the importance of personal responsibility and the power individuals have to effect change in their lives and environments.
