Topic: Inspiration or Fool?
In our society men are expect to have active sex lives by eighteen and seeing such a rare case like McCandless is bizarre to us. America is highly focused on sex yet we also try not to acknowledge the topic. To McCandless romantic relationships were very serious to him and he had only been in one serious relationship his whole life. To anyone who has not seen Carine McCandless TED talk might assume that Chris was just some awkward kid who was just living someday dream and refused to grow up. However, knowing Chris's childhood and the environment he grew up in he has every reason to act this way. His father had slept with another woman while he was married and left six other children behind as well. Chris' relationship with his parents was built on lies making it hard to tell what was true and what wasn't. Chris' life can teach us about being patient and waiting for the right person to com into your life no matter what society tells you is important. It shouldn't be seen as unusual for a twenty-four year old man to be single and a virgin.
