“That’s when training is helpful, because if you put people in situations where they can practice feeling in control, where that internal locus of control is reawakened, then people can start building habits that make them feel like they’re in charge of their own lives—and the more they feel that way, the more they really are in control of themselves.”
This seems to ignore the limitations stemming from any number of sociological and political limitations that are inherent in certain areas of society, specifically those in marginalized communities. In a system that is built on hierarchy not derived directly from anything tied to human agency, like a meritocracy, it would seem that at some point this inner locus would be defeated.
