My favorite movie character is Dr. Frank-N-Furter from the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Frank is something of a mad scientist, bent on creating the perfect life form to serve as his sexual plaything. He seems to be the leader of the Transylvanians on Earth. Frank is mainly concerned with himself and lacks the ability to see the consequences of his behavior. Though he did bring out the sexual creatures in a young, repressed couple, he did this with his own amusement in mind. He commits murder and cannibalism without a second thought, as well as locking Eddie in a deep-freezer. (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0010150/bio)
If you have ever seen this movie you will automatically know that it is a very strange movie.
How Dr. Frank-N-Furter fits into the five personality traits: * Extraversion- means a person is, talkative, social and assertive. He does this all too well, in the movie he holds a convention for the Transsexual Transylvanians on Earth, and this describes the social portion. How he classifies into being an assertive person is because he is the boss of everyone. In the movie it shows him being aggressive and assertive to his servants and fellow Transylvanians Columbia, Magenta, Riff Raff, Eddie-the ex-delivery boy and even his own creation Rocky. * Neuroticism- means a person is anxious, prone to depression and worries a lot. Frank-N-Furter has a lot of anger in this movie, to the point where he kills Eddie. He definitely has a hard time controlling his anger and hostility and does not think about the outcome of his actions. * Openness to Experience- means a person is imaginative; independent minded and has divergent thinking. I think that this one fits him the best because he is very creative and for sure thinks differently. In the movie he is creating his own creation, a boy who he names Rocky Horror. By doing this it shows that he has a very imaginative mind and is

    Sternberg's Theory of Love describes three components that make up different combinations or levels of love that can be shared between two people. The three components are intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimacy refers to understanding and concern for the other person. This component deals with warm affection and getting to know each other on a deeper level. Passion refers to stronger feelings of emotion, excitement and physiological attraction. This component usually deals with sexual attraction and desire. Commitment refers to the conscious decision to stay in the relationship through the ups and downs. This component deals with putting in an effort to maintain the relationship and carries a sense of devotion for that relationship. By combining any of these components, you get different varieties of love.…

    Well, since I really do not have a favorite movie that I can recall I have decided to write about a character that my kids often talk about and that is Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. My kids often have questions of why he is the way he is looking so sad, being depressed and so reserved. Eeyore seems to fit on the introverted side of the scale and very low on the extraverted side. He is timid, shy, and doesn’t want to bother anyone, it is because of this he is typically alone. Eeyore’s personality is characterized mostly by introverted responses and actions; he is generally short and usually closed off with everyone. He does not like to seek adventure, but it seems to find its way to him through his fellow characters. He also does not like a lot of activity in his life. He is pretty content with a very quiet and boring lifestyle. He typically does not show emotion with others unless they are his close friends such as Tigger, Pooh, and the rest of the characters; however Eeyore seems to still be very reserved with them too. He is typically in a gloomy mood, showing signs of being depressed and very lethargic.…

    This week I was able to start working with a Dominican 15-year-old boy dealing with difficulties with emotional regulation and anger outbursts at home and school. I really felt good about being able to speak Spanish with the mother of the client who was present during the intake process. I felt a level of comfort that would take several appointments to achieve otherwise. The clients mother mentioned that I was the first Spanish provider she has worked with. Being able to speak Spanish brought a level of enthusiasm and richness to the extensive intake process. I was able to implement some of the tips my clinical supervisor had provided last week as to how to take information that would be essential in completing different assessments. I felt…

    There are three steps in the scientific process, unsystematic observation, building theories, and evaluating propositions. I have evaluated my personality many times in hopes to better myself. When I was younger I went through relationships like they were candy. I always blamed the other individual because of course I could do nothing wrong. A close friend of mine one day pointed out that I am not the same person I am with friends as I am with my boyfriends. At first I decided to not listen and thought she was being ridiculous, but as my relationships continued to fail, I thought maybe it was me, so I began to do an evaluation on myself with my boyfriend at the time. When I was with my friends I was extremely outgoing, fun, was always laughing, and making my friends laugh. I wanted to investigate if I was also this person when in a relationship or if my personality did transform. I started to observe myself by paying attention more to our conversations and what we would do when together. I soon was seeing I would start up arguments quite frequently and was very opinionated, stubborn, and it was my way or the highway type of attitude. Upon realizing this I turned to my boyfriend at the time and asked if he had noticed a difference from when we were friends to being a couple. He did not mention my personality but he did mention that things were more stressful and that we argued a lot more. The relationship after time became extremely rocky and we were on and off, I knew I loved him, but for some reason I could not change and could not figure out why I was acting this way. I then started to see a councilor so I could better figure out what was going on inside of me. When with the councilor we were able to build theories one of the theories was the fact that I feel that I need to be dominant when it comes to males and she suggested that it could be from a time when I was badly mistreated by an ex. To evaluate this proposition I wrote a letter to my ex…

    Hello everyone. My name is Ruth and I want to talk to you guys about eating disorders. An eating disorder is essentially an illness that disrupts a person’s every day diet which can cause a person to pretty much stop eating or over eat, depending on the illness. These illnesses are more apparent in the teenage years and in to young adulthood (Pinel, 2011), which makes sense because this is when we start becoming more aware of our bodies as well as other people’s bodies. We might want to look like the model we just saw on TV and will do anything to get that body, right? But an eating disorder is not the way to go; we will get in to the effects of eating disorders here in a few minutes, but let us start with the types of disorders.…

    Such as, Victor killing animal in the zoo or even Igor find a dead body in the freezer. Still the film had a very uplifting feel to it because of Igor and his improved way of life. Sadly, many tragic things happen in this film and there are some scenes in the film that are worthy of begin labeled a horror or thriller. Though, I found some of those parts of the film highly unnecessary. Such as, the presentation for the first monster it ran off and Igor chased after. Than Igor lost track of it room that is when the movie turned into a horror. That did not seem to fit with what was shown up to that point. However, it still got my heart pumping in fear for Igor.…
