Determinism
Determinism is the thesis that every event in the universe is necessitated by prior causes together with the laws of nature, so that given the complete state of the world at any moment, every subsequent state is uniquely determined.
Existentialism
a philosophical movement associated with Sartre and de Beauvoir holding that human existence precedes essence, meaning individuals are radically free to define themselves through their choices and actions. Fanon engages critically with existentialism, arguing that racial categorization imposed by colonialism constrains the colonized person's freedom in ways that abstract existentialist frameworks fail to capture.
Social conditioning
Social conditioning is the process by which social structures, institutions, and power relations shape an individual's beliefs, desires, and sense of identity, often without the individual's conscious awareness or consent.
Socialization
Socialization is the broader process by which individuals learn and internalize the values, norms, and practices of their society, enabling them to function as members of a social group. Socialization can be empowering or constraining depending on its content and context.
