Lewis (agency)

Lewis (agency) refers to the concept that individuals or entities act as agents with their own autonomy and decision-making power, operating within a larger system or structure. In this context, agency emphasizes the capacity of these agents to make choices, influence outcomes, and navigate their environment independently, while still being influenced by external factors such as social, economic, or institutional forces. It highlights the dynamic interplay between individual actions and broader structural constraints, recognizing that people are not merely passive recipients of circumstances but active participants shaping their own lives and contexts.
