Intro-2: Who is the Independent Person?

     Clearly, the decision-maker; and an independent nation is one who acts on its own, as its own agent, willing to accept the benefits and liabilities of being free.  Specifically, it does not submit to the pressures of its neighbors or some powerful nation to do their bidding, but weighs the facts in accord with its own reasoning and dedications to principle.  It does not say for instance, "Russia wants our nation to produce XX amount of  wheat, therefore, we must do it!" There is a negotiation process, whereby the  country agrees contractually to a certain amount, understanding its own situation better than some other nation.
     Where there's common interests and shared values there's room for peoples to come together while yet preserving each's own independence and ways of thinking and doing things.
See Paradigm 2: The Marriage break-up once again.  Both spouses are re-claiming their independence from the marriage situation.  Nevertheless, each is committed to their children, as a shared responsibility till they become of independent age, e.g., 18 years of age.
     In terms of the greater society, the independent person must be treated as a discerning self, not given to the pressures from either family, friends, employers and so forth.  Typically, an employer, for instance, ought not to demand from his workers to speak and write a different language on the job from that accepted by the society as its language in order to keep his job.
     Nevertheless, powerful people in a society believe themselves capable of determining the actions of others they deem followers or under their control for financial reasons, etc.  They are constantly badgering the less independent person to yield to his control.
The Reason for the Present Study of Regional Independence
     That takes us to present study of regional independence.  I am asking the question of nations, can the regional governments assert themselves to assume an independent status enjoyed by the dominant nations?  The value of so permitting such smaller regional entities to gain upright independence is the preservation of individual and cultural heritages and the variance in human possibility that independence promises tor each citizen. under its jurisdiction.
