Analysis Of Inside Out

Tracy, a seventh grade girl in the movie Thirteen, provides a glimpse into the dangers of negative adolescent development. She was an honor student who was content playing with Barbies, but she was also desperate for acceptance and affection. Tracy meets Evie, a popular girl who engages in destructive behavior. Tracy’s only goal becomes emulating Evie, and she embarks on a path of self-destruction. Tracy, who is in early adolescence, is at the peak of her most critical developmental stage (Capuzzi & Gross, 2014), and is willing to do whatever it takes to belong. Throughout the movie, we see her struggle with low self-esteem, anger, dysfunctional relationships, self-harm, and substance abuse. Vernon (2009), discusses Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which can be utilized with Tracy. Vernon (2009) notes that when needs of safety, belonging, love, and respect are not met, children respond emotionally, cognitively, physically, and socially, depending on their developmental level. The degree of development also impacts how children react to common developmental difficulties and situational problems. Vernon (2009) adds, “…how children interpret and respond to basic needs, as well as typical and situational problems, can result in various self-defeating behaviors” (p.3). Applying this to Tracy, we see that her basic needs of

Riley is a very receptive third grader. He grasps the cliché "gangsta" way of life, doing his best to advance the urban society in the differentiating suburb of Woodcrest. Affected by the broad communications by means of rap music and TV, he habitually utilizes poor syntax, and has a tendency to guard his golden calves notwithstanding when his impersonations conflict with judgment skills and uprightness. One case is his backing of R. Kelly in "The Trial of R. Kelly", notwithstanding overpowering proof demonstrating Kelly's blame, Riley trusts he ought not need to pass up a major opportunity for his next collection in view of Kelly going to

The purpose of this essay is to analyse the case of Destiny and formulate an assessment of her case study. Destiny is a seven year old girl living with her mother Tammy, her younger brother Chase and Chase’s father Leon. They reside in a low-income suburb on the south side of Brisbane. A few concerns were expressed by Destiny’s teacher about her developmental and educational issues. Each stage of the lifespan is a time of social, cognitive and psychosocial development within an individual.

Throughout the film, the issues of family life, ideal role models, and child development significantly reflect toward today’s society. Today, this society finds it difficult to raise a child for two parents. For example, they experience financial problems, relationship issues amongst themselves, or potentially going through a divorce all play a critical role in the child development process. A parent's initial hope is for their child to succeed in school and also to succeed in the outside world when looking for jobs that suit their interest, yet, teenagers have the highest tendency to commit a crime. By following the friends they chose to have, they become more influenced to encounter themselves into trouble, however, this is not the only factor. During life at

Riley entered the world on April 23rd, 1999. Her mother, Jamie, has been by her side her entire life. She has been a crucial part in Riley's childhood. But as nurse, Jamie, had countless hours in her occupation as a nurse, and being a single mother, Riley had a lot of time to herself growing up. That time was mostly spent with her childhood best friend, Wyatt. Wyatt is Riley’s older brother. Even though he is four years older than her, they still could never be separated. Wyatt always guided her, and was truly

In order to develop well as in individual one need to meet certain emotional and physical necessities in life. Physical and emotional development can depend on many factors but with the help of parents, and peers. When these necessities are not meet, the child may have difficulties as adults, either it being from simply being able to socialize with others or forming attachments to other individuals. Environment also plays a huge role as to how a child will develop. Theorist like Piaget and Erickson studies children in order to see how they interact and interpret different situations. Not all children have the same experiences and if they do, their feelings towards those experiences are not the same. The process of development can be seen in the film Closure that is based on the story of an adopted girl looking for her biological parents. A parent is what guide the child to be able to form attachments and developed into the person that they are suppose to be, but ultimately the child is the one who needs to identify who they are as a person in order to grow.

A wide variety of theories and methods attempt to explain early childhood learning and development. Erickson and Maslow both have theories that focus on social and personality development, as well as a person’s motivation to learn throughout their lives. Their theories are helpful in understanding Jeannette Walls’ development of self. Erickson and Maslow also help clarify why her mother, father, and living in New York City were such influential factors in the development of Jeanette’s sense of self.

There are some families that love to win and influence their children to be the very best they can be. Little Miss Sunshine written by Michael Arndt is a warm heartfelt movie about a little girl named Olive Hoover with the dream of competing in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in California. Olive is part of a very dysfunctional family which includes the supportive mother Sherrill, the determined father Richard, quiet brother Dwayne, crazy grandfather Edwin, and the suicidal uncle Frank. The family members all come together a to bring the young aspiring daughter Olive to her dream pageant. The Hoover family does not live in the best conditions and are forever going through a constant struggle, but they try to make the best of things. The family all piles into an old Volkswagen van to drive from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Redondo Beach, California. The drive is not stress free and the family encounters a few bumps along the way. They eventually make it to the pageant and Olive comes to life on stage with her family’s support. I viewed this film through the developmental perspective using Jean Piaget’s theory of development and Vygotsky’s sociocultural developmental theory. I will portray the developmental theory throughout the rest of the paper within adult/child relationships while using sections of the film and an article by Scarr and McCarthy with elements of the theory’s, capacities of children using examples from the film and an article by Scarr and McCarthy, and

In the 2012 film The Perks of Being a Wallflower the audience is immersed into the life of Charlie Kelmeckis, a socially awkward teenage boy undergoing his first year of high school. Charlie’s troubled past, consisting of multiple trips to the mental hospital and the death of his best friend, is a prominent factor that continues creating challenges for him throughout the film. When comparing Charlie’s development to that of research, such as Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development and Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, it is evident that his cognitive development, the relationship he has with his family, and the relationship he has with his peers are all major factors contributing to his psychological development.

The film Matilda, created by Raold Dahl, tells the story of a gifted young lady named Matilda Wormwood, played by Mara Wilson, who was born into a very unaccepting and unsupportive community. She began her life in a very close-minded family. Her family did not support her thirst for knowledge and learning but rather were constantly pressuring her to be more like them; dishonest and unmotivated. When Matilda was of school age, she was overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of beginning school until she met Agatha Trunchbull, the school’s principal. Even from their first meeting, their relationship was a difficult one and this tension tainted Matilda’s school experience. As Matilda continued to grow and learn, she realized that her power of telekinesis could be used to negate the effects of Mrs. Trunchbull’s behaviour on both herself and all of her friends. Throughout the movie, Matilda continues to realize the power within her and the love she has for learning. This film analysis will be reflecting on three different developmental lenses including John Bowlby’s attachment theory, Lev Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and Jean Piaget’s stages of cognitive development and considering how each of these lenses relate to the film Matilda.

This study applies a cinematic narration technique and Arnold Gesell’s Theory of Child Development to investigate theme coming of age and social reflection in Pixar animated film Inside Out. Although this animated film seem just made for entertain children, the result of the study demonstrates that a plot development on the film has a relevance with an action’s and development of a young girl character Riley. It shows her physical and emotion development, Riley have a clearly physical growth but on her emotion growth causes a conflict from a various emotions and climax on the film. But Riley overcome a conflict at ending and be able to reach herself to maturity by having a Sociocultural Forces which are family and child rearing assisted her

Corinne, a passive and diffident eight year old girl, is a child who has experienced difficulty in regards to multiple development theories. When Corinne was four years old she was adopted by my neighbors because her biological mom, an avid drug user, was unable to care for her. Her adoptive parents have struggled to bond with her, and I vividly remember Corinne flinching whenever they attempted to pick her up. Today, Corinne has developed into a highly intelligent yet timid girl who continues to struggle with intrapersonal relationships. Her current distrust is likely linked to a lack of positive development

Assessing Melissa’s emotional development is essential to determining what motivates her the most. Unfortunately, her emotional development seems to be lacking. There appears to have been a positive attachment or “emotional bond” (Feldman, 2015, p. 307) between Melissa and her father based on her reaction to his absence from the home. However, Melissa does not appear to have the same bond with her mother. Melissa’s mother, Amy, displays a permissive parenting style, offering inconsistent parenting and at times completely uninvolved parenting. Research has shown the physical, cognitive, and emotional development of children with uninvolved parents can be hindered (Feldman, 2015, p. 310-311). Ms. Smith has the opportunity to understand where Melissa’s emotional developmental delays are stemming from with this information and can use that to her advantage in motivating Melissa’s behavioral changes.

It has been a long-standing fact that blacks are greatly under-represented in the horror film genre. At times, blacks are marginalized or used as mechanics to further the plot with racist two-dimensional characters. However, the 2017 film Get Out set out to change that static portrayal. In an interview with NPR writer and director, Jordan Peele states “every other human horror has its sort of classic horror movie to go along with it.” He is, of course, referring to the fact that horror films are centered on white culture and along with that white fear. The fear of losing their sense of security or possessions such as with slasher or home invasion films. Sometimes it even goes to the extreme of representing white fear of black people, their culture or urban areas. Such as in the film Candyman, where the villain is an African-American son of a slave turned boogeyman who hunts a white woman who is disgusted and terrified of a predominantly black housing community. Get Out sets a precedent for a new cultural aware horror film that does not shy away from current controversial issues.

Emotion plays an extremely important role in the memory process. Before you can fully understand the role of emotion, you have to understand the memory process. There are three steps to the memory process, encoding, storage, and retrieval. If you do not fully understand the memory process, then it’ll be difficult to comprehend the role emotions play and the movie Inside Out, although it may be a kid’s movie, is an excellent way to develop an improved understanding of the memory process. The movie Inside Out is about a pre-teen girl’s emotions; joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust, and how they all work together to help create her memories and get through life. Before I get ahead of myself, however, let’s talk about the memory process.
