Sadly I don't think it would be possible to have a society of individualism because we aren't all self reliable. Some Americans rely on support from the government and support from families and it seems as time goes by it gets worse and worse. Some obstacles in our way are our society taking care of people too much which makes them less likely to be able to care for themselves. Drugs and alcohol also prevent this as it significantly impairs peoples judgement and causes them to be on the streets because they couldn't be self reliant on what they spend because of their addiction.

Mahatma Gandhi was self reliant by using his own tactics for fighting for whats right through peaceful revolutions like walking extra miles to get water and helped millions of people with his effort to create a fairer world. He however was misunderstood because like some would put it he would follow the "middle path" he didn't favor one side but instead favor a little bit of both sides making it hard to understand what he supports.

The song Get On Your Knees and Fight Like a Man has lyrics that are similar to Emerson's point he is trying to get across by saying "out on your own with your own self reliance you've got no one to watch your back...." The lyrics help get the point of us needing to be self reliant because no one will hold our hand by talking about how no one will watch your back which is a parallel point of no one will hold your hand.

Parker Parker is probably one of the most well known self reliant super hero. He rarely relies on others for help and usually takes on things himself without getting others involved in his problems and for the most part "put his heart into his work and done his best."
