Agency

Agency is the capacity to act and may be classified within the Concious State Theory (CST) where there are 21 concious states in the Conscious State Model (CSM). Within each, people typically have some sort of immediate awareness of their physical activity and the goals that the activity is aimed at. With varying degrees of direct control or guidance over their own behaviour and the outcomes.

The capacity to act is the fundamental essence of a person, because without this capacity there is no autonomy, individuality, or opportunity. A person's mental state is the most crucial part of anyone’s life, closely followed by emotional maturity, which also has a major effect on the person’s thinking and behaviour.
