to reappear in the future. Almost every movie out exemplifies some form of family dynamics and Erikson’s stages of development. However‚ the movie I chose to demonstrate two characters in two different psychosocial development stages is Meet the Parents. Meet the Parents depicts Greg Focker’s struggle to gain his girlfriend Pam’s dad’s approval for her hand in marriage. For many men asking the love of your life’s dad for approval to marry her can be a very nerve-racking and scary experience.

I recently saw Meet the Parents and was very pleased with the movie. It is a comedy that depicts what happens when a man is introduced to his girlfriend’s family for the first time.

Meet Your Rep I reside in California’s 6th district and Doris O. Matsui is the congresswoman for this district.
