PASSION AND EDUCATION.

In the passion project i focused on how everyone felt like they were being forced by the society to get into a specific career line. we see Andrew being led to being a cop, Karina into nursing,Ray into business. This is very typical of the ideal world we are in as students as the different societies we come from expect us to perform or go with a certain traditional career which has been in the society for ages and if we go against that then we are looked upon as different and shunned and seen as unsuccessful. This has led to the student being not inspired to share their ideas with the society members as the new careers are seen as not good enough and the student feels like a failure.

The article "The Relationship of Attachment Variables to career decision making self efficacy and Fear of Commitment" by  Jessica B. Wolfe and Nancy E Betz.
In the article its quoted as"reported that for women attachment was related to greater commitment to a career decision and less to a tendency to prematurely foreclose on a decision,for men paternal attachment was more important than maternal attachment  and greater attachment to fathers was related to greater commitment to a career decision" this shows us how for many students it is harder to make an individual decision of what career you want and even if you want to follow a passion its not easy since its clear cut from the beggining you have to go with the parents decision as also depicted in the Passion Project with most of the people.

Also in the article its quoted as "parental and peer attachment accounted for 11% of the variance in fear of commitment" this is a clear indicator of how our peers , parents and the society shapes what career path we take as we see from the article most students change their majors due to indecisiveness and this is caused by external fear of what people will say or how they judge us and if we fail they will all have something to say about it. No one wants to follow their passion for fear of judgement and its also evident in the Passion Project where we see Elaine saying that the society has expectations of us and thus we are afraid of going against what is norm.
