MG-Conclusion

Dependance on others is not necessarily a bad thing, though it certainly can be. Independence and Freedom go hand-in-hand. Maturity is the ability to do the right thing independently.

Just as Janie depends on Nanny and her first to husbands for support, I rely on my parents to support me. Also, I have learned how to make right decisions without guidance, like Janie does in the novel.

Dependance can be a constraint on any scale. American dependance on foreign oil is proving to be a big issue, and by means of alternate fuel sources like Ethanol, we can become independent of the petroleum industry altogether. By having those who can live without federal welfare work for their money, those who need the welfare the most will get it. And by making an international-level news station, Iraq can counter the biased sentiments of it's neighboring arab nations.
