Dysfunctional Families

A horror is a story or movie that causes an intense feeling of fear, shock or

A movie has three main aspects that can raise a heart rate up to where it can majorly affect someone’s heart rate. The first being tension because tension is always something that can leave people on edge so they won’t see anything coming until it happens or it doesn’t. Either way the viewer is on his or her seat waiting for the next thing to happen. The second would be if something is relevant to a movie, because it could lead some viewers to think of something that correlates to the movie. The thing that would correlate to the movie would be along the lines of “...the universal fear of things like death and the unknown…” (Filmmaker IQ, 2017). The third and final thing would be unrealism. The more people think of something being unreal, the scarier it may seem. If people knew something that couldn’t happen in real life, but see it in the movie, it can get their heartbeat up. This is because humans have always had a fear of something that isn’t

Other people experience fear in different ways. For example, scary movies make millions in Hollywood. Many people pay to watch a movie that will not only scare them, but also give them nightmares. The viewers enjoy the little rush they get when something pops out or someone screeches in fear of a murderer.

     Lifestyles also play an important part in youth violence. Growing up in a divorced family as well as the way your parents raised you are major aspects that effect youth today. When children go through a divorce they experience tremendous pain and go through a lot of changes in their life.(chapter 9 impact of divorce) They experience behavioral problems, and less academic achievements. Adolescents in this stage can also experience aggression toward their parents as well as their friends and other family members due to the divorce. Every parent had there own parenting styles of raising their kids, however, some ways can lead to corrupt behavior. There are the authoritative parents whose children tend to be moody, aggressive, and have poor communication skills. Then there are the permissive and authoritative parents who are generally caring and sensitive towards their children.(chapter 9 parenting styles) Studies have shown that if you grow up in a family that shows aggression towards one another, then it is more likely that you as a young adult will be aggressive as well. However in recent studies,

In essence, we might be inclined to believe horror films in fact create a sense of gray. To take this a step further, there’s documented facts proving how people are inspired by horror films and actually carry this out in real life. However, King’s suggestion that horror films are like roller coaster was more persuasive. When I think of riding a roller coaster, I recall all of my experiences of watching horror movies. The emotions are similar, almost always leaving me with an adrenaline rush, sense of fear, rapid heartbeat and at times sick to my stomach. It’s terrifying watching someone on the “big screen” being harmed or murdered and yet I’m always relieved when the bad guy or gal receives pay-back in the end. I guess that would be my sense of excitement?

Every family has their own individual problems that they deal with; no family is perfect. Children go through abuse, witness their parents abuse alcohol and drugs, and experience abandonment causing them not to feel loved. Unfortunately for the child, experiencing these things puts them more at risk for repeating the cycle, and going down the same path that their parents did. The focus of this literature review is to determine how the cycle of family dysfunction can be broken. As I searched for supporting articles the articles that stuck out to me were the ones that dealt with the causes of family dysfunction and the ways to help break the cycle of family dysfunction.

Children react to their environment in different ways, and those reactions can vary, depending on the child 's gender and age. Children exposed to family violence are more likely to develop behavioral, emotional, psychological, and social problems than those who are not. Recent research indicates that children who witness domestic violence show anger and temperament problems, depression, low self-esteem, and more anxiety than children who do not witness violence in the home. The trauma they experience can show up in behavioral, physical, social, and emotional disturbances that affect their development and can continue into adulthood.

People nowadays love being scared in any way, shape or form. Wether it would be ranged from going to an amusement park to a haunted house. In the article King states, “When we pay our four or five bucks and seat ourselves at tenth-row center in a theater showing a horror movie, we are daring the nightmare. To show that we can, that we are not afraid, that we can ride this roller coaster”. In the article King compares horror films to roller coasters, to show that they are similar. They both have their element of surprise, you never know what is coming till it happens. Everyone loves the adrenaline rush they get when they get scared. It leaves them wanting more of what they are getting. Today the most popular type of films are horror, there is always that hype over the new horror film that will be coming out. No matter what the circumstances are, these things are done to

That being said, the biggest issue within the parent-child relationship in regards to violence is the “normalizing of isolation”. This term addresses parents ignorance towards their child’s actions. For the betterment of society, all parents need to gain a better understanding of their child’s development in order to detect any red flags that may persist within their youth. These red flags are anything that could lead the parent to believe that their child is leading down the path of being antisocial, because there has been a strong correlation in that many mass shooters in the past have suffered from being antisocial. If a child does not develop a strong and social relationship with their parents it can eventually lead them to having a tougher time responding to certain circumstances they will eventually face when they grow older, as they will be obligated to make decisions for themselves. “The mother's strong affectionate attachment to her child is the child's best buffer against a life of crime.” (Fagan). Obviously, it is difficult to recognize or predict which people will commit an act of mass violence in the future, but there are definitely many ways parents could prevent their children from potentially being the ones to do so.

To start off, as most of us have already know, social and cultural norms are one of the factor that influence in shaping one’s behavior, and one of them include the use of violence. The cultural norm, such one that encourage the use of violence as normal method of solving problem within families would be a risk factor of having the child likely to use violence once he or she grow up. According to Esposito, a psychotherapist, "Boys exposed to domestic violence may channel their feelings through aggressive acts such as fighting,

Younger children do not have the ability to express or show their emotions which can cause behavioral problems. Even a child who witness domestic violence between their caregivers is more likely to suffer from emotional consequences from seeing violence. The long-term effects of exposure in young children can have negative effects in their later years. These outcomes have been documented as leasing to behavioral problems that include school dropout, violence, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, eating disorders, and even suicide attempts. In conclusion, when parents engage in any type of dynamic of domestic violence or aggression, their children, can be at an extreme disadvantage when it comes to emotional development. There are a variety of risk factors that can affect a child

What is fear? “Fear is an unpleasant emotion that occurs in response to an immediate and identifiable threat, usually of an external nature. It includes physiological elements such as increased heart rate and muscular tension, behaviors such as running or hiding, and hormonal changes such as the release of epinephrine” (Gramlich). In other words, fear is not something that can be built instantly it is usually a bad past experience in most cases it’s from childhood. According to Lars Svendsen author of A Philosophy of fear, states fear is like drugs, the chemical reaction in your brain creates inquisitiveness which in important to survive because it keeps your brain functioning well. That is the reason why Svendsen think Action and Horror genres are most popular in the entertaining world because this genres story is based on taking risk and risk without fear is like desert without sand. Transformer, Fast and Furious and The Walking Dead are some of the examples of the most grossing movies and shows in entertaining world. According the list published by Forbes 8 out top 10 most grossing movies in the world falls under Action and Horror genre. Going back to Svendsen, he states “Reading takes by Edger Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft was a great strain on my nerves as a child – I thought it was so sinister that I hardly dared read another page, yet I could not stop myself from reading on even so”(74). Is one of the many personal experience that he mentioned in his book. So, no matter how hard individual tries to avoid fear while entertaining themselves, he/she will always end up falling in love with Horror or Action, movie or show. There is no treatment for fear because at the end of the day being afraid means healthy brain.

We all need an excitement in our lives and experience the adrenaline rush. Horror genre fills up that empty spot. In today's society us teens go to amusement parks to pay to get scared by the serious tense the rides give us. Roller coasters keep us guessing what will happen next and scream at various parts of the ride. Stephen King states it himself “we are not afraid, that we can ride this roller coaster” (King, “Why We Crave”1). King says that on that surface level, we watch horror movies for that level of fun. Even knowing horror movies can give us this frightening feeling King says “we are daring the nightmare” (King, “Why We Crave”1). Horror movies are innately conservative, even reactionary. If the brain knows there is no risk of really being harmed, it experiences the adrenaline rush as enjoyable. This is the obvious option. Wondering what is going to jump out as us at a haunted house. As in who will get slashed next or who is this mystery killer in the horror movie. When you put yourselfs in the victim's shoes, your reaction can be true fear, but once you leave the theater, you are in no real

The fascination with fright is an obscure idea to those who have no interest in watching a horror movie on a lonely Friday night. Moreover, even someone recommending watching a horror movie at a movie theater spikes fear in the eyes of certain moviegoers. Why might that be? Fear, itself, is an unpleasant emotion that makes someone feel uneasy. It is a psychological response that can be caused by the sense of danger or the infliction of pain. There are moviegoers who rather spend their time laughing than inflicting fear on themselves. However, there are some people who crave the primal instinct of what fear is. Horror films capture the fear and tension created by the suspense and gore, and make it alluring to fans of the horror genre. Due to this, fans seek out recommendations on what to watch and what are the best type of movies.

Children learn very early about right and wrong. The exposure to violence at a young age can have an effect on a person’s development and behavior as an adult. Children who witness violence often are more aggressive. Those rejected by their parents are more likely to experience PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and problems with social information processing, which can lead to violence toward their intimate partners. A violent upbringing and a lack of early positive experiences, increases a child’s tendency to become violent in the future.
