Stardew Valley is a 2016 videogame that focuses on farming in a small town. The goal is to grow your own crops, raise your own animals, and go mining so you can build a farm that you can fully rely on to survive. Another goal is to restore the old community center so you can drive out JojaMart, a business that is trying to industrialize Stardew Valley. The townspeople re-find the value of simplified living and minimal wants through your work to restore the town’s former rural environment.

This perfectly shows the transcendentalist value of simplified living because it takes our modern world and shows how damaging it can be. JojaMart overworks their employees and brainwashes them into supporting their scheme of ruining the peaceful farm life in Stardew Valley. Emerson would approve of minimal “wants” and the idea that society corrupts our values and draws us into false promises. The game truly highlights how we can not only survive but thrive, with only our needs met.

In 2019, the sequel to the record-breaking “Frozen” came out. The story begins with Elsa and Anna living their normal lives in the fall after the summer “Frozen” took place. Elsa begins to hear a voice calling to her from the enchanted forest. She then frees the spirits that have been trapped there for 34 years. Through adventure, loss, and perilous situations, Elsa and Anna uncover the reason the enchanted forest went from a place of beautiful magic to a place of treacherous danger.

Throughout “Frozen II”, Elsa has to trust her intuition. All logic pointed against following a voice that she didn’t recognize and releasing the spirits, but she had an intuition that the spirits were good. When she’s in the enchanted forest, she has to fight the wind and fire spirits. She ends up trusting her intuition and calming them, even when Anna tells her that it’s too dangerous. Elsa’s mother had a lullaby that said “go too far and you’ll be drowned,” which referred to an island that had all the answers to your questions. Elsa trusted her intuition and was willing to sacrifice herself to find the truth because she knew that’s what was right in her heart. Without Elsa’s intuition, she never could’ve found out the truth and freed the enchanted forest.

In 1996, Steve Irwin started his TV show “The Crocodile Hunter" which ended in 2004. He had an impressive connection to animals, especially ones that are considered dangerous. He showed the world the importance of conservation and protection of nature and its species. What set him apart from other environmentalists and conservationists was his engaging charisma and content. Unfortunately, he passed away, in 2006 but his legacy continues to live through his family and people’s fond memories of him.

Steve perfectly shows the value of nature. Nature gave him a sense of adventure and joy that was contagious to the people around him. Although zoos aren’t fully in nature, they’re a way we can help educate people about conservation and save animals that need our help. It also provides a fun way to spread the love and value of nature in a fun way, versus tedious documentaries that many lose interest in.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a 2017 videogame that came out with the release of the Nintendo Switch. It features Link, a Hylian hero who wakes up with no memories. He has to survive daring battles, rough terrain, and dangerous weather to piece together who he is. Link does all of this on his own and must find the strength in himself to survive. The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat Ganon, Link’s enemy who is holding Zelda hostage.

Link relies only on himself and doesn’t look to other people to solve his problems. He could leave the hard work to others, but he sticks to his principles and fights for what he believes in. However, this doesn’t bring him peace. He becomes afraid at times but he finds the courage in himself to face his fears and continue living.

Harry Styles made history when he became the first solo male cover artist of Vogue in December of 2020. What was most memorable, however, was his Gucci dress. Many praised that he pushed the boundaries of male vs. female fashion. Over the past few years, he’s been showing his more “feminine side” but he doesn’t believe that fashion has genders. When his Vogue cover was released, he said “It's like anything — anytime you're putting barriers up in your own life, you're just limiting yourself. There's so much joy to be had in playing with clothes.”

Many others were outraged at his daring cover. Candace Owens, a conservative political activist tweeted, “There is no society that can survive without strong men...the steady feminization of our men...is an outright attack. Bring back manly men.” However, according to Emerson, true men do not conform to society’s expectations. Harry Styles is the perfect representation of a non-conformist. He pushes society’s boundaries with his fashion choices, music style lyrics. He’s unapologetically unafraid to be himself and that’s setting a standard for our society.
