Agency, Blossoming, Better Tomorrows, and YOU
Dr. Wayne Ruga, FAIA, FIIDA, Hon. FASIDIn our world that is circumscribed by histories, beliefs, and biases - our true heritage - the natural human agency, to express ourselves freely, that we were each born with, gets increasingly constrained as we progress in our development, an inescapable paradox that most of us are blind to. 'Structure' such as norms, rules, and policies - is the insidious and ever-present constraint to 'agency', and for many of us, reproducing and producing more limiting structure is what we unknowingly become practitioners of, and rewarded for, rather than drawing upon our own natural agency to liberate ourselves, and those around us, to become more of who we were originally born to be.
