Emerson believes in not following societal expectations, and thinks everyone should take their own route when it comes to making decisions. He holds the opinion that society has a "conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members". Prince, on the other hand, runs parallel to Emerson's views on society and self-reliance. Prince says go against the view of society. He says "Walk on their side of the street / Don’t walk where it feels the best.” Emerson states "is a joint-stock company in which the members agree for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder...

Chris McCandless was more self-reliant than anyone these days. He went on a mission, by himself, with limited things that include rice, a backpack, and a compass. He made his own food, and went on a hunt for shelter. Chris was moved by nature, and made it his priority for everyone to see the true value in it. He proved to be the definition of independent and self-reliance. He didn't ask anyone for help, and worked for his own goals. Chris never followed the societal "norms" and expectations.
