The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club related to social health in many ways. Different aspects of social health appear throughout the movie. For example the characters were from different types of homes, communicated/acted differently, and formed different relationships. Each character in the movie communicated in different ways. For example,Claire and Brian communicated completely different. Claire was blunt and had no problem saying what was on her mind but Brian on the other hand always thought before he spoke and was usually influenced by the people around him on what to say. The fear of letting Brian's parents down/the pressure his parents put on him was evident. John for the most part communicated his feelings passive aggressively and gave off the impression he didn't care about what happened to him. His issues at home (abusive father) effected him majorly because to others he wanted to come off as the "tough/rebellious guy." Allison was very self conscious and mainly kept to herself she was that way because her parents neglected her. Allison had the hardest time communicating her feelings. A reason for this was she was never taught how to. Andy felt that he had to be one of the popular kids and had to bully others to seem cool because his dad had done that in high school.Andy/Claire both had issues sticking up to their friends and went with the flow. All of the characters had different social issues they had to deal with. The Breakfast Club showed many different aspects of social health and many we have learned about in

    Case Study Norma James

    Firstly, she is excluded from social production because she rarely contributes to societal and cultural activities. For instance, she spends most of her time at home doing hobbies because she lacks the financial resources that facilitate community involvement. Secondly, Norma is economically excluded because she has no access to economic resources and opportunities, such as paid work (Mikkonen, 2010). Lastly, Norma has health complications caused by social exclusion. Social isolation causes long term stress, and those affected are prone to diabetes and high blood pressure (CNA, 2005). It is possible that Norma is stressed because she smokes every day, drinks alcohol, and is diabetic and hypertensive. Overall, insufficient social support and economic resources, along with stress, can impact Norma’s health and decrease her abilities to living a fulfilling…

    Belonging Skrzynecki/the Breakfast Club

    Changing circumstances can precipitate a change in our intimate relationships. The 1980 John Hughes film The Breakfast Club may seem like just another angst filled high school movie, which in some parts it may be, but in fact, this film is unique because of its exploration of certain ideas of belonging. For example, the idea that people, no matter how different their personalities are, will bond together when they are isolated and a mutual enemy is presented to them. The Skrzynecki poem Migrant Hostel fits with this message while St Patrick’s College conveys the opposite.…

    The Outsiders

    Has anyone ever felt like you were judged by the way you look and dress? The outsiders by S.E Hinton should be taught in school. This book should be taught in school because it is very much like real life today so it could teach kids what not to do. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a story about a boy named Ponyboy and his friends who are constantly getting in trouble and being judged for being “greasers”. Ponyboy is an interesting character because he is different from his friends, but gets caught up in gang conflicts. There are many examples in The Outsiders showing Ponyboy to be loyal, brave and sensitive. The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton was written in 1967. This novel tells the story of the conflict between two different social groups, the greasers and the socs. The socs were the socials who lived in the rich part of town, and the greasers were the lower class youths. They call them Greasers because they wear their hair long and a lot of grease in it. They are always getting picked up by the police for shoplifting, hijacking cars, pity theft, armed robbery and even MURDER!! They are always getting in trouble for something the Socs did like when Pony boy was at school. The Socs were doing something in the cafeteria and Pony boy got in trouble for doing it and he wasn’t even in the cafeteria. The Socs are a bunch of rich kids that have mustangs and corvettes with nice interior. This novel tackles issues such as violence, class conflict, and prejudice. The novel takes place in the early sixties. The Outsiders examines how two different groups compete, and unite for survival, which is often justified with violence. This one isn’t getting lost in the woods and having to make fire and kill fish and get water out of some spring. This is more like real life because things like this happen every day.…

    The Outsiders

    When families break down friends are important. In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton this message is shown in many ways. Certain characters have been abandoned or disowned by their families, some characters have family members that have passed away and some don’t have any at all. Pony Boy Curtis, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston all have experienced family breakdowns and each and every one of them has a loyal group of friends to fall back on. This shows why Friends are so important. Family isn’t who you’re related to, but who cares and is there for you when you need them.…

    “Jock”, “prep”, “loser”, “geek”, “criminal”, “ popular”, are just a few labels of teenagers that are used everyday by outsiders who judge them without looking skin deep. In the matter of stereotyping, some may perceive it as being the base of an identity in the view of society. Stereotyping is categorized and used as a positive view. As opposed to the film The Breakfast Club, that creates a more negative input on stereotyping. Peer groups have really changed over the years in a High school atmosphere.…

    Brian In The Breakfast Club

    One character in The Breakfast Club that most relates to me is Brian. We both want to keep our grades as high as we can, yet I am not the kind of person to join after school clubs unlike Brian did. Brian is classified as a nerd and proves to be cared about by his family unlike some other people that he his serving detention with. I can relate to this, although I don’t really classify myself as a nerd even though some people may. I can visualize myself as this character as he acts almost exactly like me. We are both quiet and have some sort of intelligence (not saying that the other characters didn’t have any). What makes this character stand out to me is that he is the odd one out of the bunch, just like I usually am. He doesn’t even really…
