Why Is Independence Necessary

Independence is a universal need. Everyone has independence even if they don’t believe they do. Some people are independent in the way they live their life, others are independent from an overbearing and controlling government. The colonies were independent in the way that they chose what to do with their lives when under the control of Britain. After breaking from Britain’s rule they became independent in their government affairs. Africa before 1966 was under the control of other countries but they still were independent in their daily lives. Although regulated by a government Africans had the independence of daily tasks like when and what to eat and the independence of thinking what they choose. Independence is a universal need because it is such a broad subject, it can apply to government, thought, and daily living.
Some people may say that independence is not a universal need because not everyone is lucky enough to be independent.
Those people don’t think about the little things. As I stated before independence can apply to anything. Brushing your teeth three times a day or at 10 in the morning is an example of independence. People may also say that independence is not a need because some places, Africa and France for example, did not strive when independent. I believe that Africa did not thrive once free from an oppressive government because they let themselves be bullied for too long. America thrived once free from Britain’s rule because as soon as the colonies started to be wronged by the King they fought back and became
independent.
