"... it feels archaic to hold values of submission and obedience above conscience, independence, and achievement." Lisa Miller (Newsweek Contributor)
The problem with Miller's argument is that her statement is conditional on the "who" to whom one is being submissive and obedient. Moreover, submission and obedience does not preclude consciousness (self-awareness) and achievement. When are we going to learn that individualism and supposed "independence" are not only insular, but is rendering us more depressed and socially inept creatures?
