James Bond is a self reliant character capable of doing pretty much anything by himself. He is independent, creative, strong and brave. emutch1320 https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927784591 "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself, nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles".]]> 2021-12-03 17:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927784591 2. Bob Marley's song "Redemption Song" speaks about independency and self ability a lot. emutch1320 https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927791986 "Won't you help sing these songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever have, redemption songs." To be truly independent and self reliant you need to learn how to think and act for yourself, define your own beliefs and discover your own fears.]]> 2021-12-03 17:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927791986 3. Socrates was one of the greatest philosophers of all time and considered by many to be the "Father of Western Philosophy" emutch1320 https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927798451 In his own time Socrates was a man thinking in his own realm and was greatly misunderstood, so much that the authorities and government considered him such threat to society and the minds of the people that they had him arrested and executed for "...corrupting the youth of society..."]]> 2021-12-03 17:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927798451 4. "The power in which resides in him is new in nature, and none but him knows what which he can do, nor does he know til he tries." emutch1320 https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927806197 This quote shows the unknown and strange feelings towards immense amounts of powers and that when men are found in charge of this power who cannot or will not try to understand, bad things happen. "A good leader does not seek to rule, he is called to it".]]> 2021-12-03 17:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927806197 5. Chris McCandless embodied these principles because he was a man of wealth and great prosperity in his home life but he was a man who sought the unknown and wished to see and learn how the other side lived. He was so strong in his beliefs he uprooted his life and left for what he wholeheartedly knew was almost certain death. He chose his beliefs and his inner peace and understanding over his own life and this shows how intense he was and some could say devoted. emutch1320 https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927815181 Chris was a man I am not sure to admire or laugh at his failed exploits-but that is just the thing that stumps me, were his adventures a fail because he could not even complete them on his own or was his horrid death a even greater message then if he were to walk out of that forest, weak, frail and without life in him? It is something to debate for the ages and a debate that can open many people up to a deeper understanding of themselves and their life.]]> 2021-12-03 17:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emutch1320/23xi4ikjsvodqslh/wish/1927815181
