The roles of agency and structure are very important in everyone’s lives. There can be no individual without an agency and a structure moving forward in life. Agency is the power of an individual to make independent choice. It is the independent thoughts of an individual. It refers to the “capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices” (courses.lumenlearning.com ). Structure is something that often shape our agency, sometimes in favor of the structure and sometimes independent of the structure. It refers to the “recurrent patterned arrangements which influence or limit the choices and opportunities available” (https://www.asanet.org/).
