Okay so the first thing I had to do before starting this log was to understand the concept of autonomy. How? I googled it of course and this is what i found.
• Independence o freedom, as of the will or one’s actions: the autonomy of the individual
• The condition of being autonomous; self-government, or the right of self-government; independence. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/autonomy)
Well now that i understand it the concept lets see how far it extends. Personal autonomy basically means independence. I think having independence is a vital component in any ones life. Especially in the lives of women. It definitely something we girls need to have.
Its all about doing things for yourself, carrying your own bags, driving your own car. Making you own decisions and making up your own mind. Wow, think of all the possibilities for women all over the world. Personal Autonomy is definitely important.
As far as how far it extends goes, I think it depends on the person. You can extend your personal autonomy as far as you want it to go. You set your own goals and dreams and only you know if you will be able to achieve it. We are the bearers of our own sorrow and happiness so it is up to us to decide how far our personal autonomy extends
