The Analysis on the Modern Day Remake of “Yours, Mine, and Ours” Relating to Psychology

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. After watching the movie remake of “Yours, Mine, and Ours” that came out in 2005, I was able to connect a few concepts from psychology class. This movie is about a widowed mother who is a handbag designer, as well as a widowed father who is a Coast Guard Admiral. The two parents fall in love and get married, and this is much to the chagrin of Frank …show more content…
I felt as though this movie was a worthy representation of three specific concepts I have learned so far this semester in psychology. Different situations in the movie led me to think about parenting styles, adolescence, as well as the social learning theory of gender-role development. In the beginning of the movie, the parents have not yet united their two families of 18 children. The father’s job as an admiral has forced his 8 children to relocate more than 12 times over the years. As I watch the kids in the Beardsley family move into their new home in Connecticut, I can see that the father has established order with them. They are not playing around, they are gathering their various things and filing neatly into the house. They do not object when they are told what to do. The youngest son is even in the habit of calling his dad admiral. At one point in the movie, the father informs his little boy that he is allowed to call him dad, yet he continues calling him Admiral. An issue

    Milwaukee 53204: Film Analysis

    A comment at the beginning of the film made me feel somewhat uneasy: “Want to be a doctor or lawyer? That’s for white people”. This quote depicts the preconception or expectation for the community’s younger generation to end up on the streets instead of continuing their education and getting a job. Because of this, I believe Dennis’s purpose from Fatherhood Initiative to emphasize family life and how the absence of a fatherly figure can affect one’s childhood is very influential and valuable. I remember Dennis asking the prisoners, “How many of you have had your father tell you they love you?” This stood out to me because my father is a huge influence and I cannot imagine my life without him, and I think it is important to accentuate the significance of having positive role models and caring relationships as a…

    Film Summary Better Luck Tomorrow

    The film also portrays the stereotypes that were used against the group of Asian American friends. At a party, a couple of white varsity sports players made racist jokes against them, but that caused Daric, one of the main characters, to fight them and the Asian American group ended up beating one of the white varsity players. After that, people at the high school started treating them with more respect. Another interesting aspect about the movie was that there were no parents. I felt that this brought all of the attention towards the struggles that the high school students felt, without being repressed by the perspective of the parents. I enjoyed this film very much. I thought it was very funny and was also very accurate on portraying the stereotypes that Asian American high schoolers had to go through.…

    Role Theory: A Psychological Analysis Of Psychological Theories

    One of the theories that is used based on the movie is the role theory. Role theory is refers to the individuals impress upon themselves personal and social expectations related to the myriad roles that they might hold (e.g., employee, parent, caretaker). Each social role is a set of rights, duties, expectations, norms and behaviours that a person has to face and fulfill everyday. In other words, an individual’s life is comprised of various roles across all work and life domains. However, the capacity and individual has regarding both psychological and physical resources are fixed in which each person has only a partial ability to fulfill certain life domains. As a result, the individual might faced role conflict. This is because if an…

    Character Analysis: The Glass Castle

    Every minute a child is growing they are learning, and when a child is growing in a lifestyle that the Wall family is living they are going to believe that what they are experiencing is normal. It is very sad to see how easy it is for Rex to decide on the spot whenever he wants to move and the children are so use to following everything their father says that they never question him. “Dad had been doing some research and settled on a town in northern Nevada called battle Mountain. There was gold in battle Mountain, Dad said, and he intended to go after it with the Prospector. Finally, we were going to strike it rich”.(48) A child should not be moving all over when they are young because it is important for them to grow up, meet people, and get an education. When moving from one place to another without any logical reasoning, they are missing many opportunities in life that most other children are able to take advantage of. They do not question any of their father’s decisions because they have grown familiar with a life of instability. It is sad to see three young children that really have no say in anything they do in life, and even sadder to see them be okay with that. When the U-Haul doors flew open, they did what they could at first to try and get their parents attention, but after realizing they couldn’t were already ready to handle the dangerous situation they were in. “Brian and Lori held tight to the Prospector, which dad had tied securely with ropes. I was holding Maureen, who for some strange reason had stopped crying. I wedged myself into a corner. It seemed like we’d have to ride it out”.(49) For kids this young to be able to adjust to a situation like this and be ready to “ride it out” reinforces the fact that they are so use to a life full of horrible and dangerous situations that when…

    Sociological Issues In Mean Girls

    The way the writer presented the sociological issues, which includes bullying, weight obsession and peer pressure, was truly compelling. The pressure of wanting to fit in, can affect a person’s life a variety of ways. Some people are strong enough to overcome the obstacles, while others are lost upon the way; moreover, in the movie both different personalities were presented through the main character. There are lessons that are taught throughout the movie, the most crucial one of all is to not let society interfere and set a norm in which must be…

    Babies Movie Analysis

    I first watched this film two years ago when I saw it in the library DVD shelve. I found the concept of babies interesting since they are adorable and tiny, but watching it with a symbolic interaction perspective has given me an insight that I did not have the first time I watched it. Even though all the babies were born to different social environments and economic statuses, the parents wanted their child to be safe and provided what they perceived to be the best basic needs.…

    Southern Comfort

    Which cause me to think ask a friend what exactly is a woman and man? A friend, replies with woman are capable of having children and then I responded by saying females can produce offspring. Manny and I couldn’t come to a clear a definition for the term “woman” or “man”. I liked how Robert stated it not between your legs that define you, but how you feel in your head and heart. I noticed that Robert’s son mixed his pronouns when he was talking about him. I also had trouble with keeping the pronouns correct, not during the movie but writing my reflection. I liked the movie overall because I believe the message was to let people know that it is up to us, as individuals, to be more open to the idea that our bodies do not label us as men or women. Our thoughts and our feelings do…

    Psychology is the process of understanding ones mental processes such as how and why one thinks, feels, and behaves the way they do. Psychology is the process by which the scientific method is used to better understand and test these processes (Allport, 1985). Psychology was established as a means to blends these two differing schools of thought into one. Psychology quickly separated into different schools of thought as a means to explain the human mind and its behaviors. In this paper we will discuss in more depth about a few of them such as structuralism, functionalism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanism (Allport, 1985).…

    Personal Narrative: My Interview With A Psychology Professor

    Even though her mother was a nurse and not a Psychology major, her mother used these books during college. Professor McIntyre said that she found these book interesting and it prompted her to begin to take an interest in Psychology. I found this very interesting because it was my mother too that helped to get me interested in the field of Psychology. I then asked “what would you be doing if you were not in the field of Psychology?” Professor McIntyre paused and laughed for a minute. She said she loved Psychology so much that she really could not see herself doing anything else, but if she had to choose she would have been a nurse because she loves interacting with others. I also asked her what she loved about Psychology. She told me that she loved teaching and educating others about it, she loved that it was always evolving, you can learn new things about it all the time, and she loved that it was a field that could always be applied to real life. I then asked Professor McIntyre if she enjoyed being a Professor here at Russell Sage College, I told her I would make no judgements regardless of her answer. She told me that she loved teaching here because the class sizes were perfect and they allowed her to interact with everyone on an intimate level.…

    Masculinity In Disney Movies

    Opponents, such as Wooden and Gillam, has the ability to overcomplicate the message of the film. The mindset of a child, does not take away from the two male characters of the film as a homosocial desire. Their brain does not yet, possess the capacity to scrutinize the dynamics of masculinity and its portrayal, especially because what they are referencing in their argument is trivial and miniscule. To agree or disagree that both genders are learning that it is alright for the masculine to be flawed and display emotion is a far reach unless the parents are choosing to have that type of discussion during the film. If I asked my daughter what she learned or observed from watching Cars, it would be not give up and from Milan, that it is cool to step up and be leader. Neither of which derived from a gender based…
