No, I wouldn't because I would have no way of knowing, for the most part, why they did that, and as they aren't me, they wouldn't know what was best for me. Though at the same time, this works against itself as I, perchance wouldn't know what was best for me either, as admittedly, I am young and my decisions don't always work as well for me as I previously thought they might have.

I don't, as for them, it's merely day-to-day life, but to us, it's a step further into a dystopian society that alienates itself from what we believe is needed for a society to function. I feel somewhat sad, though it's only the vestiges of an emotion, as some things, like "releasing" seem as grim as some torture practices.
3. Why is interdependence fostered in the community?

Because everyone believes that they cannot function on their own, and needs a greater power, or being to look up to. Without this, they have nobody to rely on, except themselves, and they obviously don't trust themselves, so they trust "The Council" instead.
Well, the first and last answer was very familiar, since we had talked about it before. You are right, about both actually. They're not you, but they make good decisions in your life. The council picks a job that fits with your personality or hobby. Which means it is a job you would love, or you would've dreamed of. Yet, other people like doing one thing, while they want to do another. As I said in one blogpost, if people have their own dreams, let them follow it. Even though it doesn't sound correct, I wasn't looking at my blog at the time. On the second answer, there lives are extraordinary. We usually have our first jobs at 15 or 16 years old. Their jobs start at 12. It's a weird life they have, but it's not ours. And on the last answer, nobody can live on their own. It's like orphans. Even though their parents are gone, they have caretakers and they will take them as their own.
