Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Five emotions felt by human beings on a regular basis. These five emotions are personified as characters in the movie “Inside Out”. The movie Inside Out is about an 11-year-old girl named Riley who is living a happy life until she moves with her family to San Francisco (Rivera, Docter, del Carmen, 2015). Cognitive, social and linguistic development are all essential parts that contribute to the development of a growing child, such as Riley. The movie displays these types of development in terms of memories, emotions, attention, humor and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper will be to explain why the movie Inside Out (2015) is appropriate for children ages 6 to 12 years of age in terms of their cognitive, social and linguistic development.
Cognitive Development
Cognitive development focuses on the development of a child in terms of their ability to think and reason, or the construction of their thought processes. Memory is a main concept that plays a crucial role in cognitive development. Memories form the basis of an individual, help to guide one’s thoughts and decisions and influence an individual’s emotional reactions (Bauer & Pathman, 2008). The core memories in the movie are a prominent theme in which are central to Riley’s development. Riley’s personality is made up of all the core memories that she had experienced over her childhood. When Riley’s world began to crumble around her because of her family moving, her
The theme of "Inside out and back again" is to never give up and always be confident, brave, and stay positive when times are rough. In the story a girl named Ha is moving from across the world to Alabama to be safe from the dangers in Vietnam. Ha's father is not with her because he's fighting in Vietnam. Ha would rather choose wartime in Saigon over peacetime in Alabama.
In America, racism as well as race relations are generally extremely sensitive subjects that are often brushed underneath the rug. Earlier this year, Jordan Peele’s Get Out graced the big screen, and left audiences with a great deal to digest. Peele’s first cinematic debut touched on the delicate topics of racism and the continuous devaluing of African American culture by “liberal” Caucasians in American suburbs. In this essay, one will explore the ways in which works written by modern political thinkers such as Nietzsche and Marx effortlessly add perspective through various theories on the difficulties brought to light in the motion picture, Get Out.
In the Motion Picture Inside out, produced by Jonas Rivera, the movie follows a little girl named Riley who is experiencing an emotional roller coaster. She is uprooted from everything she knew in Minnesota to a comatose life in San Francisco, where the house is monotone and their moving truck is running behind schedule. She has to learn how to not run away from her emotions, and live even when she feels the joy in her life is missing.
Inside Out, a Disney/Pixar animated film, centers around the life of Riley, an 11-year-old girl who endures a move to San Francisco that greatly impacts her emotional balance. The film features five characters - Fear, Anger, Disgust, Joy, and Sadness - who personify the five major emotions in Riley’s brain and how these feelings impact Riley. When Joy - the lead feeling character - aims to suppress Sadness in her entirety and, thus, prevents Riley from processing her sad feelings, Riley enters an emotionally distant and empty state. This film has been widely received, for it not only entertains its target audience of the younger generations, but also speaks to teenagers and even adults through its unique, yet accurate portrayal of how emotions in the brain function and the importance of staying in-tune with said emotions. The cultural work of Inside Out influences multigenerational understanding of mental health. In doing so, this motion picture challenges viewers to consider how complex emotional and mental problems can be, as well as encourages viewers to question the stigma associated with mental illness.

From the 1920s to 2009 the United States history experienced a number of economic downturns; however, the most significant was the Great Recession of the early 2000s. And the movie "Inside Job" which is staged under the direction of famed director Charles Ferguson, is a true narrative of the worst economic events in history. There are five parts totally in the film including: How We Got Here, The Bubble, The Crisis, Accountability, and Where We Are Now. The crisis is closely comparable with an abyss, engulfing the world's strongest economy. It also has collapsed the entire monetary system of leading banks and led to the bankruptcy of a series of economic groups. This is a failure of policy, systematic faults. The crisis also forces the world to rethink the moral philosophy of development.
Both the movies, Inside Out and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind focus heavily on memory and the impact that memory has on one's life. The movie Inside Out focuses on how memories and the emotions attached to them can shape us and a our personalities. The movie depicts in animated form the basics of memory, short term memory, long term memory and forgetting. It as shows the idea of mood congruent effect. Mood congruent effect is the idea that you remember memories that were encoded when you were in that same mood easier than when you are in a different mood.
Throughout this research paper the topic that will be discussed is the Cognitive Development in children in the age group around 2-6. The topics that will be covered in this research paper are the physical growths and dangers, Jean Paiget and his views on cognitive development, friendships in the age groups 2-6, and cognitive changes. “Cognitive Psychology is the theory of human development that focuses on the development of thinking and thoughts that shape people 's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.”

Throughout the movie “Inside Out” there are five main emotions that play inside Riley’s head which are: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. Each of the emotions plays an important part of coping with life problems. For instance, Joy’s purpose is to keep Riley happy; Sadness purpose is to make Riley feel sad and cry if she needs to; Anger’s purpose is that he cares very deeply about things being fair; Disgust purpose is to keep Riley from being poisoned physically and/or socially; and lastly, Fear’s purpose is to keep Riley safe.
“Inside Out” is a Disney Pixar movie that came out in 2015, and believe it or not, it connects with what I have learned this year in Psychology 101. For starters, this movie is obviously a children’s movie. The main character’s name is Riley and Riley was living her dream in the Midwest having more friends than she could count. She was on a successful hockey team which she excelled in and she was oh-so close with her two parents. All of a sudden, her dad gets a job offer in San Francisco and the family proceeds to pack up and move across the country. The movie focus’ on Riley’s emotions: Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, and Joy. These emotions become characters in the movie and get all riled up as Riley’s life flips upside down. The movie shows
The book The Outsiders is about a gang member that kills a rival gang’s member. The story takes place during the mid 1960s in Tulsa a city in Oklahoma. The plot involves two gangs, the Greasers, and the Socials ( also called Socs). The Greasers were people part of the working class or below. They tended to be portrayed as the poor, and dirty people who didn’t have any future or destiny. Also known as, the scums of the society. The Socs on the other hand, were the people of the upper class, the kings and queens of the society. They were portrayed as the emotionally stable, pampered, and spoiled brats who did what they want, and tended to get away with wrong doings.
In the film, Inside Out (Docter, 2015), the connection between Joy and Sadness works to explain the relationship between the mind, brain, and body, of their host child, Riley, and by extension, the minds, brains, and bodies of its audience. The importance of the Joy and Sadness connection demonstrates that while the classic “theory of mind” approach holds that we understand things through immediate reflection of our ability to attribute mental states like beliefs, intentions, desires, knowledge, and perspectives, to ourselves and to others, these animated characters, all while understanding that others, again including these animated characters that we know to be mediated by the hands of artists, have beliefs, desires, intentions, and viewpoints
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.
