The term derives from oppressive colonial governments of the early 20th century.
Individuals also have the Right to Self-Determination.
one of the pre-established ones.
Examples:
Ameena Matthews is a "ceasefire violence interrupter,"
working to stop gang shooting in inner city Chicago.
Desmond Tutu is an international "injustice-fighting preacher."
The Lady Philosopher is a rights maker.
Examples of new, niche professions that we could create:
Solar energy neighborhood explainer.
Skateboard park designer.
Wildlife rescue first responder.
Fair trade chocolates consultant.
Tomato sauce ingredient expert.
Cursive quill and ink handwriter.
Local food markets social marketing expert.
Digital fantasy portrait artist. (I need one. Anyone know one?)
Handwritten letter-maker.
Public school poetry bard.
What profession can you invent for yourself?
