seesmääratlusega

Seesmämääratlusega is an Estonian term that translates to "self-definition" or "self-determination." It refers to the act of an individual or a group defining their own identity, characteristics, or destiny without external imposition. In a personal context, seesmämääratlusega can involve an individual's conscious choice of their values, beliefs, lifestyle, or even their gender identity. It emphasizes autonomy and the right to self-governance over one's own life and being.

On a broader societal or national level, seesmämääratlusega relates to the principle of self-determination, particularly in political contexts. It signifies the right of a people to freely choose their political status and to pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. This concept is often invoked in discussions of national sovereignty, independence, and the formation of states. It underscores the idea that legitimacy of governance stems from the consent of the governed, and that external powers should not dictate the internal affairs or future direction of a nation. The core principle is agency and the power to shape one's own existence.
