They move again to Rocky Point during the winter, once they get there Cookie leaves to be with new boyfriend Red Devil, leaving them alone, not registered for school, without food and without heat. Regina’s older sister Cherie get’s sick of pneumonia and social services took them away once again. After Cherie recovers Cookie regains custody and Karl has agreed to return if Cookie stops drinking, the day Cookie came home smelling like alcohol Karl left. That year they go visit their grandparents are rejected and for the next two months they are living in their mother’s car. They are left alone in the car at night when she goes with someone to spend the night. When they do find someplace to live they have to leave due to the neighbors noticing the children are not going to school, are again living in the car. A few months later both Cherie and Camille moveout. When their mom gets a job at a Deli live in a room upstairs from it.

Regina George’s friend group is comprised of Karen and Gretchen. Their friendship is difficult at times. They share secrets among each other, for example the burn book is a secret between the girls. When Cady is included into the friend group she is then entrusted with the group’s secrets. This group of “Plastics” are friends by choice and always ask for each other’s

Another example of Regina having no respect happens when the girls go up to Regina’s room. Cady comments on the size of Regina’s bedroom and Regina says “it was my parents room but I made them trade me.” Regina is completely out of control and disrespectful, this is all because of her mother's parenting style. When a parent is trying to be a friend instead of being in charge things will go wrong.

As Janis is telling Cady about the different cliques at their school, she ponders "How do I begin to explain Regina George?" This is followed by comments and opinions by different students ': "Regina George is flawless" "She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus". The fact that the second comment made about her describes the products that she owns says a lot about our consumer culture and recognition of brands, and the way we look up to people. Mean Girls emphasises that Regina is "fabulous, but she 's evil" - despite her attractiveness and the respect she is given, her behaviour and personality leave much to be desired. Even though she is downright nasty and universally hated, people still want to be like

The movie Mean Girls is about this new girl Cady Heron who becomes friends with The Plastics. Cady befriends this group of clique as a way to spy on them with the help of her friends Damian and Janis. In the Plastics Regina George can be seen as the Alpha of the group, Gretchen Wieners can be seen as an insecure person and Karen Smith was portrayed as an airhead. In the movie Cady begins to have a crush on Regina’s-ex boyfriend, Aaron Samuels, Regina finding out about this Kisses Aaron Samuels and become his girlfriend again purposely hurting Cady. Throughout the movie Regina can be seen doing mean things or saying mean things to other. According to the DSM-5 Histrionic Personality Disorder is categorized as a pervasive pattern of excessive emotionally and attention seeking, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts.

According to Marxist theory or known as Conflict theory. The higher power people, the Bourgeoisie, always takes advantage over the lower class people, the Proletarians; thus, both sides are always creating conflict over resources, careers, finances, etc. Socialization will need to be changed because of the constant conflicts from both sides. In the movie, the Plastics could be viewed as the Bourgeoisie, because the group has the highest popularity among other students and popularity breeds powers. For example, Regina is very powerful in the school and she controls every bit in the group, from what other girls need to wear on a certain day and time, who they cannot date. The other members in the group never stood up to Regina over the things that she demands them to and genuinely

Regina’s “flawless” appearance established her power among other girls. Among high school girls, power is stereotypically established through looks. As shown in Mean Girls, girls will look up the person they feel has the ideal appearance. The random comments said about Regina indicate that she is idolized by many of the girls attending North Shore High School. Other girls know everything about her, because they want to be just like her. This entrenches Regina’s position at the school.

I then addressed the violence in the schools, Regina admitted she does not feel safe at all and that she has seen violence on a regular basis. She has also has been a victim of it. She states and maintains that television is to blame. She feels children watch and bring it to school, especially the wrestling moves, and violent behavior.

Niccolò Machiavelli says “he who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command”. Regina has all the qualities of an Machiavelli leader. All Machiavellian leaders follow the same characteristic traits. They are duplicitous and cunning. Regina George hides her true intentions by deceptive actions, when she got Aaron Samuels to fall back in love with her. Adding herself in the Burn Book was extremely crafty. She allowed herself to appear as a victim in order for her masterpiece of regaining control was successful. Machiavellian leaders are narcissistic and believe the end result will justify their actions. Is Regina George a narcissist? She does only care about one person’s interest, and that person’s is Regina George. She knows that it important to be feared than loved as a leader. Regina does not bother kissing up to get her way. She uses manipulation and control to gain power. Regina George has numerous of the same characteristic traits of Machiavellian

Though she was manipulated by Janis, she had a personal motivation to carry on the attack. She was clearly jealous of Regina due to her crush, Aaron Samuels being Regina’s boyfriend. In a conversation with Janis, she cries ‘Regina took Aaron back’ then later creates another scheme in revenge. Gretchen trying to impress Regina is another example of jealousy. Mostly due to plan to isolate Regina, Gretchen is slowly distancing from Regina while she tries desperately to impress her.

Never in my life have I ever seen a mom so nonchalant. She does not care about anything her daughter does and is just as fake as Regina (except she also has a horrible boob job). Her ultimate goal is to keep Regina happy and make sure that she is having fun. Grades mean nothing to her because she is all about being rich and maintaining a high status material wise. When seeing this movie, you will wish that you had her mom. If you want to drink, that’s fine with her. If you want to have sex, go ahead. She’ll offer you a condom and love that you’re happy. Despite how ridiculous this character appears to be, the actress, Amy Poehler, does a fantastic job at helping fulfill the purpose of showing stereotypes in the

Fast forward to over a decade later, Regina was caught up in the fifth curse, like Henry, Hook and Rumple. She is now a bar keeper known as a Roni who struggles to keep Victoria Belfrey (Victoria Belfrey) away from her bar. A friendly woman, Roni befriends Henry when he enters the bar. They get talking when Roni sees Henry is having a bad day. When she asks about it, he comments:

Have you ever gotten up in the morning looked in the mirror and feel like you’re being judged. Well that is because of Regina Roastings. She is the type of monster that hides behind your mirror and gives your brain terrible hallucinations, that make people from the ages of 12-30 feel insecure.

Norbury asks the entire senior class to raise their hand if they have ever been victimized by Regina George and nearly every single hand was raised. She does whatever she wants and thinks that everyone admires her. This is mostly because of the way her mom acts towards her and her friends. Regina's mom tries to be one of the teenage girls and gossip along with the "plastics." She even allows her daughter to drink underage. Regina's mom also allows the younger daughter to watch nudity on the television. Her care free, laid back parenting style plays a huge roll on how Regina acts towards her peers. In addition, Cady's parents are very strict. The first sign of this is in the beginning when they are very concerned with sending her to a public high school. After being exposed to the "plastics" and how they act, Cady begins to drink and participate in illegal activity nearly every weekend. Cady finds her wrong doings as an escape from her parents. This is because her parents are too strict and are constantly nagging her. Their uptight, strict parenting style is what leads to Cady doing unacceptable activities.

We are probably all familiar with Abraham Maslow 's Theory of Hierarchical Needs; Psychological Needs, Safety Needs, Belongingness and Love Needs, Esteem Needs, Need to Know and Understand, Aesthetic Needs, and Self-Actualization Needs. And we probably all remember that according to Maslow 's theory, needs that are in the lower hierarchy must be at least partially met before a person will try to satisfy higher-level needs. Although ultimately our goal is to aid students in self-actualizing or becoming "all that one can be," they must first achieve the level of Need to Know and Understand.
