Baxter Magolda’s Theory of Self-authorship deals with the journey of a person as they define themselves and move from external to internal definition. In the movie, Revenge of the Nerds, many of the characters move through this journey of self-authorship.

Absolute War Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse. Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye? Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell? Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe. Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them--little kids, cripples, old ladies.
