Abstract

The article examines the phenomenon of self-identification of the individual in the context of social transformations. The concept of personal sovereignty as a philosophical and social construct is analyzed, and the main challenges of its formation are identified. Special attention is paid to the connection between stable identity and the ability to autonomous thinking with an emphasis on the ethno-national context. The risks of digital dependence, globalization unification, and educational standardization are identified as barriers to personal sovereignty. Ways to overcome these challenges are proposed. The concept of personal sovereignty implies the process of becoming an internally free, autonomous person, capable of making decisions, critical thinking, and self-realization without external manipulation. This is not only a psychological state, but also an ethical, social, and political category. Personal sovereignty includes: cognitive autonomy (independent thinking, doubt, and criticism); emotional independence (self-regulation, maturity); moral reflexivity (ethical principles of action); social responsibility (participation in public life). A sovereign personality is possible only if there is a stable identity. A person who is aware of his roots, values, and belonging is capable of autonomous decisions. On the other hand, the lack of identity leads to conformism, heteronomy, and loss of subjectivity. In the modern media context, the risk of external identification is increasing – through advertising, political propaganda, and cultural unification. Such an identity is reactive, not proactive, and contradicts sovereignization. Social media algorithms, digital “mirrors” (selfies, personal pages) replace the reflective “I” with a superficial image. The person becomes dependent on external evaluation, which hinders autonomy. Globalization stimulates intercultural exchange, but also contributes to the loss of local, national, religious or linguistic identities.
