Define Self Determination. Distinguish between internal and external Self Determination.

 Self-determination is defined as a person's ability to make their own decisions and choices. It is often considered a basic human right, but it has also been used in legal contexts to describe the rights of indigenous peoples and minorities.

Self-determination has been around since the early 20th century, when many countries were trying to gain independence from colonial powers like Britain or France. The concept was first used by Woodrow Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 when he proposed that all colonies should be given the opportunity for "self-government" within 10 years after World War I ended (this proposal was later rejected). Later on, during World War II and its aftermath, several countries gained independence from European powers because they wanted more control over their own affairs--a desire that led them down paths toward self-governance and other forms of self-determination such as economic development through trade agreements with other nations

Internal Self Determination

Internal self-determination is the ability to make your own decisions and act on them. It's the feeling of being in control of your life, rather than being controlled by others or forces outside yourself.

Internal self-determination can be demonstrated through actions such as:

• Making choices based on what you want, not what someone else wants for you (e.g., choosing which college to attend)
• Having control over how much time and energy are devoted to different activities (e.g., deciding how many hours per week to spend studying vs hanging out with friends)

External Self Determination

External self-determination is the ability to make decisions and act on them in an autonomous manner. It is an individual's ability to choose their own goals, values, and actions without being influenced by others.

External self-determination can be seen in many different scenarios. For example, if a person wants to go out with friends but their parents tell them they are not allowed because it's too late or unsafe for them there are two possible outcomes: either the individual decides not to go (because of external pressures) or they decide that it doesn't matter what others think about their safety and go anyway (because of internal pressures).

Another example would be if you were given $5 from your parents every week for lunch money at school; this would mean that you have less control over what food choices are available during lunchtime as opposed to having more autonomy over those choices because now you have access

The Relationship Between Internal and External Self Determination

The relationship between internal and external self-determination is an important one to understand. As you may have noticed, the two concepts are often used interchangeably in the literature. However, they are not the same thing and it's important to recognize their differences so that we can better understand how they relate to each other.

The first way in which they differ is in how they are defined: internal self-determination refers specifically to an individual's ability or lack thereof (depending on their level of autonomy) over their own behavior; whereas external self-determination refers instead towards how much control someone has over other aspects of their life such as finances or housing arrangements.

For example: if someone lives alone but does not feel like they have any say over where their next meal will come from or what time it comes at--this would be considered low levels of internal autonomy; whereas someone who lives with roommates but has complete control over all expenses incurred during these shared living arrangements would be considered high levels of external autonomy."
