Many people of current times question whether we truly live in a free world. Albert Camus claims that the only way to defy a world stricken by constraints is to have one’s existence purely be one of rebellion. His idea is that in a world where you do not have freedom, the only thing you have complete control of is yourself, and in that aspect, your existence must be your own act of rebellion. If a society is so restricted that individual freedoms are reduced to simple existence, then it is absolutely possible that one’s existence can be an act of rebellion. This can be shown to be the book Fahrenheit 451 and even in real-life in some traditional Islamic villages.
