Always Question Authority 
Excellent presentation that highlights the dialectic of individual versus social rights. Victoria is right to challenge the fundamental notion of self-possession. Anyone who lives in a society, especially a complex society, is never radically self-possessed, nor are they radically obliged socially. The fact is we are constantly negotiating some mean or median point between individual and social rights. When either becomes too dominant things become unstable and then both social and individual rights are threatened.
