Individual autonomy

Individual autonomy refers to a person's ability to make their own choices and govern their own life without undue influence or control from others. It emphasizes the right to decide what is best for oneself, including personal beliefs, values, and actions. Autonomy respects each person's independence, dignity, and freedom to pursue their goals and make informed decisions, as long as they do not harm others. It is a fundamental principle in ethics and human rights, supporting the idea that individuals should have the authority to determine their own path within a society.
