Personality Changes Throughout Lifespan Essay Example

In life everyone has the ability to truly change, whether it’s physically or mentaly it all depends on their willingness to do so. So if someone is very optimistic and they always try to find the good in things they are very capable of changing but, if someone is pessimistic and only sees things for exactly what they are it is also very possible for them to change it will just be 10 or even 20 times as hard because most of the time they don’t want to change. In their eyes they only see the black and white of the world, they don’t want to find all the different colors that are right below that surface. Here’s some proof of those things.

For example, in the movie “Megamind” the main character changed. At first he was a villain, rude, mean, and destructive but, this is because he was bullied as a kid, always messing up and getting made fun of so later in his life he only saw the black and white of life, the good and bad but nothing else and most people were bad to him. As you watch the movie he finds out that being bad isn’t fun, people being rude to him isn’t fun, none of that stuff was fun. So he ended up changing, he started being nicer, he started protecting the people instead of hurting them, he did all that stuff and became good. That’s evidence of someone truly changing.

More evidence of people changing is Tim Allen. Now Tim Allen wasn’t the best guy he had gone to jail but he was tired of being bad so when he was in jail he started to be nicer and after he finished his 28 month sentence he was dared by a friend to go up on stage at a stand up comedy show and he was a hit. He then went on to play in the movie “Home Improvement”. That’s another example of someone truly changing because not only did he change how he acted he changed how he thought about life.

The last example I have of this is the Grinch specifically “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. The movie started out with the Grinch hating all the Whos in Whoville. (Whos were the people below the mountain where the Grinch lived) He would try and take all the presents on Christmas, he would be rude and disrespectful to the Whos, just anything you can think of the Grinch had probably done it to the Whos. As the movie goes on the Christmas comes around and of course the Grinch steals all the presents during  the night but, when the Grinch wakes up and expects to hear all of the Whos crying and see all of the Whos confused. All he sees and hears is the Whos singing but, the weirdest part about that was that they sounded happy. So from that day forward he was nicer and returned all of the Whos presents. That is another reason I believe that people can truly change.

The examples above are reasons I believe that people truly can change it just depends how much they want to. Whether it's a book movie or a real life experience there are many ways people can change you just have to have to look at things as a whole not just what's on the outside.
