However, even though politics gave Mandela great difficulties and regrets, it eventually proved to be successful in changing the government structure in South Africa. Even though Nelson Mandela went to jail on Robben Island for years, he still didn’t let all of the difficulties, warders, or corrupt prison officials break him at all. (Mandela 407, 432, 458).

Imagine living in a society where individualism wasn't an acceptable concept. Picture a world where “I” wasn't a state of mind. This is the theme of Ayn Rand's Anthem, a dystopian novel set in the distant future. “We learned that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around it, which causes the day and the night.
