Independence

"Rebellion is the start of independence"

An independence either by will or force; for the sake of this statement, it is an independence in relation to the confines in which society has us bound in.
Do not get me wrong, these confines can suit one perfectly, but for others- suffocating.
Independence from societal norms require some type of rebellion.
In the more deprived societies, societal norms can seek to sequester original action and thought. This type of society is most threatening to individual identity because this originality in thought or action is what brings the meaning to be not just someone but an individual.
