Discussion of the Situational and Developmental Views in a Scene from Titanic

The first interpersonal communication that was used throughout the movie is identity. In the movie, Joe and Kathleen are using identity though email. They are unguarded with each other, and

James Cameron directed and co-produced Titanic in 1997. It is one of the epic tragical-romantic films of all time. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jack Dawson (hero) and Kate Winslet plays Rose DeWitt Bukater (heroine). Titanic tells the evergreen love story of Rose and Jack. Rose is a first class passenger, but her family is going through financial crises which her mother Ruth is trying to resolve and retain their weakening high-class status through her marriage with Cal Hockley, her fiancé. Agitated over this marriage she attempts suicide by jumping off the stern of the ship. Jack, a poor painter, discourages her from suicide and saves her life. This is a pivotal scene where an epic romance begins. The acting, setting, and lighting play

Relationships have a big impact on many of the characters in the movie. The communication element of interpersonal relationships is the main relationship factor and it is defined as “a meaningful, dyadic, person-to-person

The Titanic movie begins with a salvage crew looking throughout the debris of the huge ship, in the hope to find a blue shiny diamond that is called “the heart of the ocean”. They instead find a photograph of a young lady wearing the diamond around her neck. That lady was Rose Dawson; while she was watching Tv, she sees her photograph and sets off to find the man who found it, then she joins them on their ship and the story of the Titanic ship begin. The story starts talking about two fictional characters, Rose and Jack, and their brief love affair aboard the ill-fated ship. Rose is an upper-class woman born into high society; Jack is an aimless drifter of much lesser means. While their love story, and the ship's sinking, are the main plot, this film depicts the glaring differences between the social classes both in how they live and how they are treated. The author mentioned that the Titanic displays in a dominated ideology since it is not focused on one audience but, it concerns about many audiences, which includes lower, middle and upper classes. Basically, the movie shows how the lower class struggle against with upper class and love overcome everything eventually. Even though this movie is a love and romantic story, the presentation of racial discrimination, and race throughout the movie. In this movie, I will argue two sociological themes. Social satisfaction and race play a big role in the movie Titanic. The Titanic movie demonstrates the ideology of race and class.

This paper will analyze a scene from the movie “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil” in terms of interpersonal communication. For the analysis of this scene I have chosen to use the concept of perception, as this is one of the most prevalent in the movie. This movie is a great example of how perception biases the way that we communicate with others, and how those biases can lead to miscommunication and a lack of understanding between two individuals. This movie also shows the effects of how we can misinterpret things about people based on appearance or an unusual situation. Furthermore, the effects that preconceived beliefs have on our understanding of a situation are demonstrated throughout the film in a way that showcases the absurdity of these beliefs. Whereas, if we could take the time to learn about people before jumping to conclusions about them, we could avoid situations that may be detrimental to our relationships.

Communications is key to the survival of all relationships. The term used to describe the type of communication that helps maintain relationships is interpersonal. An interpersonal relationship is a relationship between two or more people that have a mutual influence on one another. This paper will discuss two of many interpersonal communication concepts. The two concepts are other-oriented and impersonal communication. Also these concepts will be explained and examples will be given from the movie Good Will Hunting.

I. Interpersonal communication can be defined a number of ways, but it is usually described as communication between or among connected persons or those in a close relationship. I have really been able to examine my own interpersonal communication, between and among the people I am connected to or have close relationship with, over that

In this paper, I will demonstrate the types of interpersonal conflict styles and ways of managing these communication conflicts. This will entail with a focus on characters in a film, and analyzing how these characters managed during this time of communication conflict. By focusing on characters and determining their conflict styles, ways of communication, and how the conflict resolved, always a way to study how the type of communication style can make an impact in everyday life.

Relationships, whether romantic or platonic, seem like an unpredictable area of life, but are they really? According to communication scholar Mark Knapp, this simply isn’t the case. In fact, Knapp created ten stages of relationship development to model the predictable course relationships take. To illustrate Knapp’s model, and other interpersonal communication concepts, the movie When Harry Met Sally is a perfect example. We will explore just how When Harry Met Sally clearly depicts all ten stages, along with many other concepts. This paper will start with initiation, then move through experimenting, intensifying, integrating, bonding, differentiating, circumscribing, stagnating, avoiding, and end at terminating, while exploring other concepts within these stages

There are different parts of our lives that we spend observing and thinking the wrong concepts about the people. But we never have the time to understand what happens around us in a different perspective. Many times we prefer to ignore what the true meaning behind someone’s actions could be instead of interacting with them. In the podcast, What’s Going on In There (2015, September 18), Larry talks about how he had a completely different perspective of what would happen with him with his miscommunication with his father. In this essay, I will explore the comparison between the interpersonal communication and self with Larry’s podcast, named “RSV-Pa Act two”. This paper will discuss three main concepts that relay into how miscommunication can

Throughout the semester, we have been introduced to many topics related to interpersonal communication. I have come to believe that these concepts have allowed me to better understand interactions that occur in our daily lives. My knowledge of these concepts was challenged when asked to relate these notions to a movie. During the time that I was watching the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I realized myself grasping onto what was going on and being able to relate certain scenes and situations to topics I had previously learned about. Interactions in My Big Fat Greek Wedding display concepts of conflict and politeness theory, which can be pointed out in a few specific scenes.

The Titanic was a tragedy that shocked the world as the Titanic was thought to be unsinkable. The Titanic was British luxury ocean liner, thought to be unsinkable, which nevertheless sank on its first voyage in 1912 after running into an iceberg in the north Atlantic Ocean. The “Icebergs loomed up and fell astern and we never slackened. It was an anxious time with the Titanic's fateful experience very close in our minds”

It is very important to know that a change in one element leads to a change another. Interpersonal communication works as a circuit in a way. All the different elements go around in a circle in order to successfully communicate.

James Cameron’s renowned film Titanic is more than just a love story, and more than a mere portrayal of the tragic sinking of the unsinkable ship; it is a representation of the socioeconomic disparities between the haves and the have-nots during the early 1900s. As explained by Levinson (2012), Edwardian-era society was based on a social hierarchy dictated by wealth and social class; specifically, “the Titanic 's passengers were divided into three classes, determined not only by the price of their ticket, but by their wealth and social position” (150). This socioeconomic class division is evident through the film’s plot in which Jack Dawson, a jobless, lower-class American who wins his way onto the RMS Titanic, shares an inter-socioeconomic class relationship with upper-class Rose DeWitt Bukater. This storyline allows for overlaps between the first- and third-class, and ultimately depicts the ideology of “Outsiders versus Insiders” (LCR). Outlined in the Left-Center-Right Model for identifying ideologies, “Outsiders versus Insiders” is an ideology where a left-wing view identifies with the “poor and disenfranchised,” also know as the “Outsiders,” and the right-winged view identifies with the “Establishment” and “people in power,” or the “Insiders” (LCR). Titanic represents the outsider-oriented perspective on social class through the difference between first- and third-class environments, the neglect given towards the third class,

Within the context of film industry, the film Titanic by James Cameron belongs to epic romance/ disaster genre. The film, released in 1997, was a global box office hit because the director provided equal importance to history, fiction and romance. To be specific, one can see that the film’s plot is based upon the history of RMS Titanic. On the other side, the main characters including the protagonist and the heroine (Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater/Dawson) are fictional characters. Besides, the element of romance between the main characters (Jack and Rose) is the film’s main attraction. Thesis statement: The critical analysis of the film Titanic proves that the innovative mode of storytelling (flash back and other techniques),
