Interdependence

Interdependence is a dynamic of being mutually responsible to and dependent on others. Some people advocate freedom or independence as a sort of ultimate good; others do the same with devotion to one's family, community, or society. Interdependence recognizes the truth in each position and weaves them together.

Will Durant made one Declaration of Interdependence on April 8, 1944. Others have been written in the years since, and interest in the United States has picked up in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.

Economics

All countries (nation-states) are dependent at differing degrees with each other in the following areas: trade, technology, markets, communications, migration, and/or transportation.
