Emerson states, " To be great is to be misunderstood". Throughout history many individuals that are cherished today for their contributions to society, were criticized in their time. For instance, in the fourteen hundreds Joan of Arc inspired a french invasion against the occupation of the English, and she lead the french to victory. However during this time it was unheard of for women to hold so much power and wield so much influence. Because of this she was accused of witchcraft, and burned at the stake. Today she is seen to be very inspirational to women, and is admired for her contribution.

Destiny's Child's, "Independent Women" is inspired by this mindset, it persuades women to challenge the consistency of submission, and become self reliant.

In the animated film "Ratatouille" a rat named Remy is different from the rest of his mischief. While they regard anything edible as suitable food, Remy has a more intimate relationship with food and desires to be a chef in the human world. "The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried" Remy complies with Emerson's definition of a self reliant individual because he leaves his conforming family and pursues his unique dream despite understanding his low chances of success.
