Det är en föreställning som går hand i hand med föreställningen att människan är fri att själv bestämma sitt liv. Att hon inte längre är beroende av något och någon.  &#...

This has had a profound impact on society and the way in which we interact with each other. Traditional values no longer hold, yet recent political swings show t...
