The adventure that McCandless went on was dangerous, but it fit his expectation to be independent and to find where he belongs.McCandless valued self-reliance ,he needed to be his own person, with his own vision and way of thinking so that others wouldnt influence him along the way.

Granger says that all his group wants to do is “keep the knowledge [they] think [they] will need intact and safe.” This shows that this group does not simply fight against those who disagree with them. They live to preserve knowledge because they understand the importance of it. This greatly contrasts how the society itself reacts to those who disagree with the system. They fight, burn, and destroy anything they think is too

There's certain benefits to thinking this way though. It's very important to keep one's own happiness and well being at the forefront of their mind. People should not be expected to constantly cater to others. Selflessness is completely overrated. Equality is not wrong to want something for himself, especially after servicing others his whole life.

Also he doesn’t believe you need to pay respect to unjust laws. It’s better just to avoid the broken laws. You should live life with rules you believe are right in your heart and follow our

Epictetus’s handbook describes in detail what it means to be a Stoic, we find that it means to be detached from the things that one cannot change, and although it may seem contradictory, this very detachment is what allows or them to be such great members or society. I believe that a good member of society is one that can keep the peace and also can be able to get important things done and decisions made. The detachment the Stoic has allows for him to keep the peace by realizing that he cannot change other people instead the Stoic must, “…act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don 't talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought” (#46). The Stoic knows and realizes that they cannot change others they can only be in control

“Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it’s enough” Robert Haller. This quotation suggests that instinctive judgment is not enough to draw conclusions, ways of knowing need to verify our gut feelings before we can actually jump to conclusions we require ways which we can use to understand the world around us, these are ways of knowing. Sometimes we need to make sure that what our innate feelings portray is true, so we require something to justify and verify our feelings; that is why we have a check on or examine these feelings or sentiments as to establish our own satisfaction. Instinctive judgments are natural and impulsive responses to current situations. Hence this title implies that ways of knowing seek to authenticate our

As Mill says: “the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.” The harm principle thus protects people from each other, not from themselves. We can thus do whatever we want with our own bodies. Suicide is a personal decision, and it does not harm others physically. Mill’s theory would therefor allow assisted

In other words, myths allow us to think that we have control over our destiny and we should not be afraid of anything because no matter how much we try to hide, it is impossible to avoid death because all things come to end. The cruelty of the world can seem too much to bear, however, myths helps us face our morality by providing a sense of control, hope and

Identity of oneself is different than the identity that other may see. I wish to see in the hope near future that labels are not used for means of discrimination but as a way of to accept the different types of people. What need to happen to accomplish this is acception. We need to acknowledge the facts. No need for pointing fingers at each other when no action is being done.

In a different environment where no one can really put a label on you, especially if you are alone, it is probable that certain issues or aspects of one’s personality, which would have otherwise remained dormant, manifest themselves, allowing you to be “born again”. In this situation, you don’t live in the past or the future, but in the present where it is almost impossible for you to ignore your inner self, biases, values, and opinions. The thought of traveling alone usually expresses a feeling of loneliness, but in reality being on your own encourages you to learn and understand yourself in ways that cannot be achieved by staying in your habitual territory. This can occur because of many factors including, but not limited to individuals around us and their culture.

those persons feel that they are in the security framework. They feel like this because is something lack in their life. This means they feel "safe" inside of their dogma, and they are not allowed have any doubt about their beliefs. They can not understand that others may have other beliefs as valid as yours need to believe that their truth is the only existing.
