self-determination is often seen as a moral and legal right that every nation is entitled to a sovereign territorial state, and that every specifically identifiable population should choose which state it belongs to, often by plebiscite. It is commonly used to justify the aspirations of an ethnic group that self-identifies as a nation toward forming an independent sovereign state, but it equally grants the right to reject sovereignty and join a larger multi-ethnic state.
Self determination gave rise to decolonization/independence movements in Asia and Africa. Resource Wikipedia.org

The ability for a nation or people to decide their own sovereign status. This ability is granted to nations only when the United States determines that it has nothing to gain or too much to lose by invading and/or instilling a coup. Subject to change at any time.
Did you see the thing about Australia?
Yeah, yeah. It's such a shame when a country gets its self determination revoked.
Crazy, isn't it? And not even a month after they found that massive oil deposit.

An argument that most people see as a "gray area" argument. they will say that there is no plain black and white answer. these are anything from quantum math equations to spiritual beliefs and everything that led up to this moment is it just random or or is it determined Sometimes it's very hard to see the most plain answer, but it is there though it might be hard to find. this question being answered correctly can allow you to see if your a person of religion or... if shit just happens
randomness vs determination
-Randomness, the ideal that all things just happen. the fact that were alive is pure coincidence through a complex strain of chemical mishaps. and nothing we do is supposed to happen. Randomness is the thought that things just happen all by coincidence.
-Determination, the ideal that things are determined before they happen. that wee and earth and the universe is here on purpose, all part of things that were going to inevitably happen under any begging circumstances.
