There are many strands of activity that influence how it has come to be expressed in the present and, thereafter, how it gets carried forward. I would say that autonomy would be a healthy balance between independence and dependence. In modern society a person needs to be quite independent at the same time as having the capacity to ask for support when it is needed. Engendering a healthy balance between autonomy and supportability is a great challenge for parents and educators alike.Errol Sundelowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195728297250356864noreply@blogger.com
