You believe that individuals and communities should have the autonomy to make their own choices and shape their own destinies.
Self-determination is a political ideology that advocates for the right of people to determine their own political status and to shape their own economic, cultural, and social destinities. This principle is often associated with the rights of minority groups and indigenous peoples, but it can apply to any distinct group. It is a key principle in international law, often linked to principles of democracy and freedom.
The concept of self-determination emerged during the American and French revolutions in the late 18th century. It was during these periods that the idea of a nation being…

How would your life be different if your choices were always decided for you?
@9KN5SVX3mos3MO
My life would be different because everyone is different which is the beauty of sonder. I may fully agree with someone on a topic but the reason we both agree on these things may be two completely different reasons.
@9KTJG923mos3MO
Having someone else opinion can inflict on their decision. So if you believe the opposite and they make the decision for you, it would be bad.
@9KN5W2KRepublican3mos3MO
@9KN5QLG3mos3MO
I would not feel heard since I cannot put in my opinion on the choices.
@9KNCQ4B3mos3MO
If every decision in life was made for me I would have no creativity, imagination, and or responsibility. I am independent when making decisions that are relevant the actions and consequences of said actions.
@9KN634N3mos3MO
My life would be more structured and I would care less about what happens
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
In what creative ways have you seen people in your life assert their independence?
I have seen people speak up for themselves and not do what they are told and follow their own path which shows independence.
Protest, vote, and give speeches about their ideals.

What does 'freedom' mean to you in your day-to-day life?
'freedom' means you have the right to live a life free of constant government regulating what you say and do.
@9JS2WB34mos4MO
Freedom to me is the will to do what you please whenever you would like
@9JS2QH94mos4MO

If you were to teach someone about a freedom you cherish, what activity would you use to demonstrate its value?
@9JCV89V 4mos4MO
Having free education is a freedom that I believe has the highest value, something I cherish the most. Education and knowledge is something that is absolutely essential, and it gives you limitless opportunity and potential. The more work you put in, the more you get out of it.
@9JHPJQN4mos4MO
A freedom I would use to teach is freedom of education. I would say how you don't have to go to college, that it's a choice. But in my case I would show them I can apply and go.
@9JCV5GY4mos4MO
A freedom I cherish is the right to higher education. I am grateful that I can learn more about my field of study in order to better myself and others.
@9JCTVQM4mos4MO
I cherish the freedom to express myself. Whether that be through the clothes I wear, the music I listen to, the art I make, etc; To be able to openly talk about what interests me and makes me happy, will always be my favorite thing. To demonstrate its value, I would give each person two coloring pages, one is for them to decide what colors and doodles go on it, the other has to be certain colors and designs and if they were to object to it, they would have to run a lap or something and then do it. idk if that makes sense 💀

How important do you believe it is for an individual to have the power to decide their own future?
@9H9JWZR6mos6MO
I believe it is extremely important and believe this is pretty much in line with America's natural beliefs.
@9H9JPW8Independent6mos6MO
Extremely important, deciding your own destination is key to becoming successful. Not being able to decide your future takes away your right to become who or what you want to be.
@9H6RH3S6mos6MO
i think that people should decide what they want for their future. I think it’s very important because that is based on what they want
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Do you think communities should have the right to govern themselves even if it goes against national laws?

In what ways do you think holding leadership positions in school activities shapes a student's future?
@9HV48JZ5mos5MO
shows management of ones time efforts , life skills,and what determination gives you.

Holding leadership positions is a good learning experience for children, as it allows them to develop critical thinking early.

In what situations do you think it is okay for a group to assert their will over a larger population?
@9HCTD6NRepublican6mos6MO
I do not think it is ok for any group to assert their will over a larger population in almost any circumstance unless a very serious situation would occur but only for a limited time

If you had the power to change one rule or law in your community, what would it be and why?
Deleted6mos6MO
Ban, fine, or weaponize the government against the pornography industry, which knowingly profits off of the human trafficking industry, the kidnapping and rape of women and children, and which does everything in its power to keep it that way. Pornography is a social evil which corrupts the minds of people who consume it, quickly leading to addiction, increasing mental illness, decreasing brain matter, decreasing academic performance, increasing divorce, and increasing sexual disfunction. These studies and articles are evidence for these claims:
Pornography addiction is nearly identical to coc… Read more
@9HD9Q6X6mos6MO
I'd advocate for a law that ensures comprehensive educational resources for underprivileged areas or a rule that mandates inclusivity and diversity education within school curriculums. Such a change could help bridge societal gaps, empower individuals irrespective of their background, and foster a more inclusive and knowledgeable community.

Why is it important to have a personal sense of purpose or mission in life?
@9KPMQNJ3mos3MO
I feel like if you don’t have self determination you will just give up too easily.
