People are different than the next one and he or she has their own personality. Each person also deals with life differently than the next. If everyone were the same, then we would be like one giant colony of ants. Just following the ant in front of us, and everyone looking the same as the next. Not having any of there own ideas or thoughts of what to do and how to do it.
Some people are what you may call "normal", some are depressed, some are mentally ill, and some are just plain old crazy. In the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, shows how people can act so differently and have different ways of dealing with their problems. One character name of R. P. McMurphy, he was sent to a work farm, where he would spend some time, working off his crime. Since he was so lazy, he faked being insane and was transferred to a mental ward, on his arrival he finds some of the other members of the asylum to be almost "normal" and so he tries to make changes to the ward; even though the changes he is trying to make are all at his own expense. Mac was logic minded individual, deviant and manipulative. He does many things to get the other guys to leave the ward, along with many smaller problems and distractions. Finally Nurse Ratched couldn’t handle his disruptive ways toward the ward and the rest of the patients, she ordered electro shock therapy as type of treatment for Mac. I don’t believe this was the right type of treatment or therapy for him, because Mac did not belong in the medical ward, because there was anything wrong with him. He was sane and knew exactly what he was doing, He is sent to a different part
