Whether we choose to conform with everyone else becoming controlled by rules and regulations‚ or if we choose to develop into free thinking and confident adolescents we have the ability to change the way

His father wanted him to be a doctor and he planned his whole life out for him. And all Neal really wanted to do was act but his dad was totally against it and he found himself torn between doing what makes

I was putting lots of assumptions in my head to try to figure what is the best way to help the young and adolescents to reach their goals and have a healthy and successful personality in this world. The movie tackles the concept of individualism in great depth. Fundamental principals of existentialism
