Essay / Research Paper Abstract
8 pages in length. Applying the Neuman's Systems Model to the circumstances found within Tom Hanks' movie Cast Away is to address the inherent quest for survival amidst social confines. Inasmuch as the model is based upon theories of stress adaptation, and views the person as being a multidimensional whole, in constant dynamic interaction with the environment, Hanks character must learn to adapt to a drastically unfamiliar existence when a plane crash leaves him to fend for his life on a deserted island. From his life-altering experience, he learns that he must become a
team player in the game of life -- concerned with the totality of forces which may disturb the individual's steady state of equilibrium and disrupt the harmony of the internal and external environments -- rather than maintain a separation between himself and the world around him. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

steady state of equilibrium and disrupt the harmony of the internal and external environments" (Neuman, 1999, p. PG) -- rather than maintain a separation between himself and the world around
him. To be unique within a world of sameness is a quest sought by many people; however, it is by way of such an objective that one becomes labeled as
selfish and intolerant of commonly accepted methods. It is important for the student to realize that this negative connotation of individualism - which is to maintain an independence from
the norm - has cast an even darker meaning upon striving to achieve ones own distinctiveness. "This collapse into condemnation happens because the vocabulary of individualism sounds harsh to
ears becoming accustomed to the competing moral attitudes found in such terms as co-operation, teamwork and, especially, community, a term which seldom occurs without a great outpouring of incense" (Minogue,
1999, p. PG). Indeed, one can readily surmise from the primary variables of Neumans Systems Model -- physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental and spiritual. -- that there is enough relevancy
to this accusation to warrant great concern over individualism to the preclusion of all else. "A person is a unique and inherently valuable human being; a personal system as
