The movie I chose is Steel Magnolias; the character is Shelby. The movie begins on Shelby’s wedding day to Jackson Latcherie. Shelby is the only daughter of M’Lynn and Drum Eatenton; and has two younger brothers, Tommy and Jonathan. M’Lynn is very protective of Shelby because she is a diabetic and has had fragile health since childhood. Shelby appears in the movie in early adulthood; the movie does not address Shelby’s progression from stages one thru five. She is introduced to the viewers in Erikson’s sixth stage of psycho-social development, Intimacy vs. Isolation. This stage of development focuses on forming intimate loving relationships leading to long- term commitment with someone other than a family member (McLeod, 2008). Shelby’s primary concern, after marriage, is starting a family of her own; this progresses Shelby to Erikson’s seventh stage, Generativity vs.…
The movie portrays how the lack of parents guidance can make things difficult when you’re too young to make your own choices. In a very delicate scene April cries in a bathroom because she is afraid of the choices she has to make in order to get into an university. The drama brings the reality of the pressure such young people…
The Analysis on the Modern Day Remake of “Yours, Mine, and Ours” Relating to Psychology Rachel Labell Front Range Community College Observations Relating to Psychology: The Beardsley and North Family Unite Rachel Labell During childhood, most everyone experiences a parenting style in their different homes. Some parents punish their children for being disobedient and not following the rules they have set for their household. Other parents may allow their kids to do as they please with little consequences or rules set to abide by.

This movie is about a widowed mother who is a handbag designer, as well as a widowed father who is a Coast Guard Admiral.…
Mean girls the movie by Mark Waters uses constant close ups to show the girls relationships and how teenage girls act around each other. Costumes are used to show the nerds versus the popular group. Although in the middle of the movie the girls fight and do things behind their backs to ruin each others lives it shows that people need to overcome some sort of bad thing to be able to be a better…
In today’s society, self harm has become a taboo subject that we often ignore or shun people for. By closely analyzing Michael Thomas Ford’s Suicide notes, Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects, Cheryl Rainfield’s Scars and Patricia McCormick’s Cut, I have discovered that this sensitive subject, although rarely talked about, happens more than we think. In Michael Thomas Ford’s Suicide notes, Jeff, The main character struggles with the idea that he has to hide his sexuality just to be accepted and how he copes with it. When Jeff attempts suicide, after self harming for so many years, he can't handle all the secrets that he’s been hiding.…

As proved in Emile Durkheim’s sociological research project, Suicide, people who end their lives tend to be categorized in three types of suicides: egoistic, altruistic, and anomic (Zulke 19). Egoistic suicide relates to individuals who feel they are isolated from society and detached from others, inevitably leading one to believe that suicide is the appropriate solution to avoid becoming a burden. Alternatively, however, altruistic suicide correlates with people who view their life as less valuable than those belonging in a group and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of others. Dissimilar to the idea of egoistic and altruistic suicide pertaining to an individual’s extent of social integration within society, anomic suicide pertains to those who feel they lack normalness in their lives when society experiences drastic changes. Individuals who usually feel fulfilled with their day-to-day behavior but encounter a sense of emptiness and meaninglessness in their goals demonstrate a lose in motivation to want to keep living.…
The movie that I, choose to watch and was related to Psychology was “Girl, Interrupted” directed by. James Mangold. The movie is an ardent film that captures the lives of a group of women in a mental institution. To be noted, this was a book before it became a movie. It was a book based off of the main character and author, Susanna Kaysen, who details her life after checking herself into an institution after attempting suicide. The movie is about Suzanna and the relationships she makes while living in the institution.…
the movie I picked is the breakfast club. The breakfast club is a movie about five teenagers who have to spend a Saturday in Saturday school and are told to write a paper about who they think they are when we start the movie we see how they think they are all from different groups and they won’t even be able to communicate to each other but they find out that they are all similar they’re all a princess and thief and a basket case and a nerd and the main thing that I soul from this movie that we have talked about in class and is in the textbook is social conformity and a perfect example of social conformity in this movie is the scene where John goes off to smoke weed and Claire follows him and Brian follows both of them followed by the other…
The movie I chose was Legally Blonde. Just like anyone else Elle Woods wanted to be accepted or like by someone. Rather if that’s by their parent(s), friend, or boyfriend/girlfriend. Elle was a normal young lady, who is petite, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Not only did she have the looks, but she was also rich. But she portrayed as a dumb blonde. So once her boyfriend broke up with her, Elle went and join Harvard Law School, in order to get Warner back. Once into Law School, you can’t miss all the disputes, self-disclosure, and power amongst each characters. In my paper, I will share my opinion on what the movie is showing about communication, analyze the role of communication between each characters and their relationship, as well as power and conflict issues.…

The name of the movie I have chosen is The Outsiders. The reason why I chose this movie is because it was one of my favorite movies to watch when I was in middle school. I remember in middle school that I was in a reading and writing class where the teacher provided students several books to read together as a class and The Outsiders was one of the novels. I always had an issue with reading since I was kid even today in college because I have a reading comprehension disability where I have a hard time remembering what I read as well as having trouble pronouncing words. This was such an awesome book and for the first time I was able to understand the whole story. The whole class actually enjoyed reading this book. Whenever the class finishes…
This fine evening the telephone in the house rang again, this time it was that lovely officer from Camp Taylor. I believe that he is the one I met the other day while having a ride with my roadster. To busy today, we arranged an encounter for tomorrow. The lovely Jordan Baker was also taking fresh air, it is not good to stay home all day, busy looking after personal issues. I am like an idol to her, Jordan that is, that sweet girl. Sad that I won’t be able to accompany her to meet those pleasant young officers when she grows a little older, but by that time I will already have my own classy companion. We will buy a gigantic front-line house, with huge windows were air always come in, and there is no need, therefore, to walk outside the house- it is sometime too hot out there.…
I just watched a wonderful movie called Circle of friends. The movie was based in Ireland in the 1950s. A place in time that was strongly influenced by the church. The movie pictured many ideals that still exist today, and at the same time I can definitely see how women are still in the same situation. There were three main girls that the film revolved around and showed the challenges of how their religion, culture, sexuality, and sex would clash.…
