According to Joe Schmoe's article "Wild", young men's desire to perform risky behavior is cultural. He argues, "In the absence of a universal coming of age ritual for young men, they tend to create their own challenges, many of which include risky behavior." Schmoe indicates that the need of young men to be recognized as adults is driven by a modern industrial societies' lack of such cultural rituals. Chris McCandless, having performed the only ritual available to him, succeeding at college, felt unfulfilled and sought more strenuous tests of his manhood. By hitchhiking to the wilds of Alaska, burning his money and abandoning society, McCandless believed that he could prove his strength wits and resilience.
