au·ton·o·my the state of existing or acting separately
from others
I have never heard of this word before, but now that I know
the definition I think that it relates really well to college students. In high school we were told what to do,
everything was laid out clearly for us. College
is way different. In college students
are expected to think on their own and be independent. I think college encourages individual
autonomy. Students need act individually
and be an individual.
Some other vocabulary words for the week are volition and constrain. The word volition relates to autonomy. Volition
means the power to make your own decisions and choices. In other word it is to be an independent person
and to think for yourself. The word constrain
is control that limits or restricts someone's actions or behavior.
