The answer is c. That an individual has no human nature prior to his or her existence.

Sartre said this and he meant that the nature of things (essence) isn't more fundamental than it being (existing). This is the opposite of what a few other philosophers had said before.

Existencialists say that humans don't have an inherent identity, and they find meaning for life as they exist through their consciousness.

What is the theme of the movie "Smallfoot" and what are some reasoning?
RUDIKE [14]

The theme of the film is to trust your convictions, even when everyone says they are impossible.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "Smallfoot," tells the story of Migo and Percy Patterson.
  • Migo is a yeti, who lives in an isolated alley. He faithfully believes that human beings exist, yet everyone around him thinks otherwise and judges his conviction.
  • Percy Patterson is a filmmaker who can't get an audience for his work, but he believes he'll make it sooner or later. However, the people around him do not agree and laugh at his failure.

The two characters end up meeting and helping each other achieve their goals. In this case, we can see that the theme of the film is related to the confidence we have in our convictions and this is related to our dreams and goals.

Why should a thesis statement be significant, debatable, and limited?
meriva
Well, the thesis is basically the start of a essay war. The thesis is information regarding what the article will be about and should always be debatable, because if it was not debatable then there would be no point in writing the article.

I am, yours most sincerely,
