A brief analysis of Forrest Gump's individualism

From the perspective of individualism, the individualism in Forrest Gump is reflected in many aspects. For example, Forrest Gump is mentally retarded, but her mother doesn't think Forrest Gump should gain or lose because of it. She told Forrest Gump to go to an ordinary school. She told Forrest Gump that you can do what others can do. You are no different from others. She wants Forrest Gump to be confident. This is a difference in personal values. Everyone should be treated equally and have the same job opportunities. As an individual, you shouldn't put yourself in different categories.

From the perspective of power distance, let's talk about power distance first. For example, the United States has a very different view of power from Arab countries. The United States pays less attention to power, but pays more attention to the exertion of individual ability, and its pursuit of power is not as good as that of Arab countries. Because of the state system, Arab countries pay attention to the binding force of power, so institutions in Arab countries, whether government departments or enterprises, are more or less colored with power. In Forrest Gump's story, he met with three presidents, he was involved in Nixon Watergate and so on, and he and the lieutenant. Forrest Gump's attitude towards all this in the film is very telling.

It was his individualism that led to Forrest Gump's attitude towards rights.
