RESEARCH
The idea of the project is GROWTH, there are two types of growth personal and society growth.
Growth is a life long process of expanding self-awareness and accepting new challenges.
According to humanistic psychology, striving for growth exist but is not an automatic process. It studies the whole person and the distinctiveness of different people.
As we grow older, society and people start to impose their values on us it can result to losing self-identity.
Because of this, we allow to include people around us instead of being more self-centered. Many may not realize it but personal growth are input in every aspect of our lives and as we grow, we become more passionate about life.
However, self-actualization comes after we are satisfied with our desires, basic needs are just what is needed to survive life. In terms of belonging and love, how a person's relationship can determine how they are built as a person. It's part of the step into how you will perceive yourself, the negative like over dependency will take over your whole life. It is sure that we need people in our life even so it is important to be alone to self learn and grow believing in yourself.
In the project, we want to show independency how it can affect a person's growth. The only way to grow is to change and accept, it's easier said than done.
Why is it changing so hard?
While growing, constructing independence is important as an individual. There are parts of independence we have to take, start to look happiness within yourself not outside; getting comfortable being on your own; create and explore yourself, and accept responsibility. It is hard because it became custom to our habits, wishing things to be different however too scared to take a step and there is no guarantee we will succeed.
