Explanation:

Locus of Control is the process to have control of something or someone. It can be internal when you fell that you have total control of your life and what will happen, or what you will achieve, and external, when other social/political characteristics have the control over you and your decisions or victories. The external locus of control doesn't believe in the change of their situation through their efforts.
