1. “All professions are occupations, but not all occupations are professions”. Do you agree with this saying? How is this saying shown in the movie?
For me, the saying is true and justified in every aspect. But, first and foremost to truly understand the concept of the two a distinction between profession and an occupation would be provided. A profession is a type of job wherein people are paid for what they know, we can also call this as a white collar job. These people have attained a high degree of education and works on well-known …show more content…

However, despite of the innovative and creative product he has, the consumers won’t buy all the things he say for they taught that it is costly and inefficient. Likewise, the lesson derived from this scenario can be connected to two words such as necessity and invention. It is very evident in us Filipinos the creativity in our blood which is marked with inventors arise in the country. However, we tend to ignore it because of we are too cozy on what we have in the present not minding all the problems left in us. This is why new inventions are hardly accepted due to our mindset and our belief. Moreover, the moral lesson linked to this situation is that we should always think on how to make can I make it better? As a Lasallian engineer, we should always think on how to make it better despite of the trials for it will make us even wiser and

Society’s values influence people to construct their personal mores around them, and those who do not are not accepted by society. In our society, those who have well-paying careers are valued above those who do not. So when McCandless decided against following the path society expects him to, his parents were upset. “Chris informed his parents that he had no intention of going to college.
