Autonomy
Definition; - the right, or condition of self-government.
In our society, autonomy, is pretty much everything. The
right for everyone to have assay in all that effects them and in everything
they do. From a young age people are taught that their life is their life and
their life only. To an extent this is true. No longer is it working together to
get a better life for the community but work hard for yourself because it’s
your life after all, or is it? Think, think on whether your actions only effect
you and you alone or do they affect others?
Despite what we think and are taught, our actions, all our
actions, no matter what, have some effect on someone other than ourselves. Be
it big or small. This effect may not affect the person’s life much but
sometimes, that small effect may have a major impact that you’re not even aware
of. Even the actions we do that we think only effect ourselves affect others
who are close to us, even those who aren't.
So what should we do? We should try and make sure our
actions are positive or at least have positive effects on those around us as we
aren’t the only ones in the world despite what we are led to believe. Our lives
aren’t only just about us, we are a community, and a community works together
for the greater good of everyone. Self-autonomy isn’t a part of it.
Here are some articles that I recently read
concerning ourselves in relation to everyone else. I hope they open your mind
to the topic and make you think and wonder as they did to me when I read them.
I hope that
this post is of some help, if not an eye opener to an issue that seriously
needs to be addressed. Love you all,
