Comparing Inside Out By Riley Andersen

Although our modern society values the momentary happiness brought by money, monetary items, fame, and status, the truth is that by focusing on these values, people soon become unhappy. Even at the stage of life, such as childhood and adolescence, when people still do not care about money, they may lose their happiness because they have no control over their emotions. At this point, medicine and science treat unhappiness and other emotions, like anger and fear, as if they were excluded from people's lives, but the absence of unhappiness does not make the individual happy. The state of well-being, pursued by human beings since antiquity, depends on how to control the emotions. In the movie Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter, Riley Andersen,

Everything was good and most of Riley’s childhood was controlled by Joy creating most of the happiness memories. But Riley’s world turns upside-down when she and her parents move from Minnesota to San Francisco. Joy tried to assure her well-being, guiding her through this life-changing event; however, the stress of the move made all emotions crazy and brought Sadness to the forefront creating a sad core memory. Joy tried to get rid of the Core Memory created by Sadness, when they are both vacuumed out of Headquarters through a tube that sends newly created memories down to Long-Term Memory, accidentally bringing all of the Core Memories with them. Since the only emotions left in Headquarters are Anger, Fear, and Disgust and the Core Memories are absent the Personality Islands started to shut down, causing Riley to lose her personality
