Abstract

Drawing inspiration from philosophical works and narratives like Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, this paper explores the tension between personal autonomy and community responsibility. It examines how individuals can maintain their independence while supporting those around them, the ethics of change and adaptation, and the philosophical foundations of building better communities. The research addresses questions of meaning, responsibility, and growth in the context of modern social challenges, exploring how we can stand on our own feet while lifting others up. The study investigates the balance between self-preservation and collective welfare, informed by both classical philosophy and contemporary storytelling that challenges our understanding of freedom, responsibility, and community.
