  • Personal agency exists within a network of social and structural influences, making individuals both creators and products of social systems, with modes including personal, proxy, and collective agency.
  • The increasing interconnectedness across nations emphasizes the importance of collective efficacy, where coordinated social efforts are vital for exercising control over individual and national futures.]

@Aella_Girl Agentic is a good word! I need to check the meaning. https://t.co/0l7fvdi8sq “Albert Bundura who published the Social Cognitive Theory: An Agentic Perspective describes agentic people as self-organising, proactive, self-reflective and self-regulating as times change.”
