Document Summary

Dorothy lee: resolving conflicts between culture and individual autonomy. Autonomy is achieved when individuals are free to make their own decisions. Autonomy is when individuals are able to make decisions without being restricted by any societal principles or norms. In present day societies individual autonomy is being violated on a daily basis. An example of this violation is the law that restricts a driver from going above a given speed limit. If the person gets caught by the police, he or she must face the penalty for breaking the law. The mandatory speed limit law is however a restriction on the driver"s autonomy because the authorities are responsible for the speed limit decision not him or her. Dorothy lee, who is the author of the book freedom and culture, ascertains that this violation of individual autonomy is caused by the higher authorities on the hierarchical pyramid.
