Document Summary

A systematic study of human action in context. And how these things appear in particular historical, cultural, economic, and social contexts. Free will that each individual has, the options that we have and the choice to pursue them at any given time. How our social location constrains the types of opportunities that we have and how it in uences all of our choices. For example, every sport has rules that lay out what is or isn"t allowed in the game. Players are still able to make choices while playing, such as using different strategies or moves, the agency part, but yet these choices are constrained by what is permissible or not, the structure part. The idea that we have 100% agency, structure doesn"t play in any role of this, there are no. What you achieve in life = what you choose.
