In the film, the participants completed seven tasks, which were designed to highlight characteristics or symptomology of one or more mental illnesses. While observing each task, I sympathized with

Facial Expression: The facial expression such as happiness, sadness, anger and fear helps a lot in conveying a message. These facial expressions are similar all over the world but non- verbal communication and behaviour varies hugely between the cultures in the world.Since the look on a person’s face is noticed , before we hear ,facial expression contributes a lot in a successfully non-verbal communication .

The overall results collected by 257 students for each of the expression is roughly 2.8 for frown, 3.2 for neutral, and 3.9 for smile, each data at a statistically significant p-value of 0.001. This result disproves the norm of reciprocity theory in the hypothesis since a frown received a response closer to neutral.

Black Swan is a fantastic movie that portrays perfectionism and how a person feels when they have a distorted image of their body. The movie depicts a psychosis disorder. There are psychological issues that the main character encounters, such as not only eating disorders and self grievance behaviors. Although Black Swan has been known to impeccably show the the severe struggle of a person with a psychological illness, it always brings awareness to many stigma's that are connected with mental illness, media and other important points about mental illness that we have discussed throughout this semester, including how the media also effects body images. This paper will primarily focus on Nina's disorders and how they are portrayed in a film. Nina's abnormal behaviors such as eating disorders, schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder will be discussed in order to diagnose her symptoms.

The portrayal of people being sickly creatures has been used in Hollywood film for a very long time. This has been in the endeavor of putting the viewing public in the shoes of the patient and entertain them with over the top portrayals of disease. For patients that are women in particular this has been achieved by defining them along the lines of vague terms such as them being over emotional and unstable. Despite the advancement experienced by the society, women have not yet fully seen the goal of equality realize fruition. With the expansion of the psychiatric and psychological terminologies, there now additional ways via which mental illness can be ascribed as a weakness for men and women portrayed in Hollywood film. This is best

There have been many horror movies produced with a mental illness as the reason for all of the scary events that happen in the movie. This can be seen in many popular horror movies such as Mirrors, where schizophrenia is reason why there is a possessed demon killing its victims through mirrors, personality disorder in Silence of the Lambs, and narcissistic personality disorder in Scarface. It is very easy to demonize the mentally unwell because of their seemingly irrational behaviors caused by mental illness. Therefore, I wanted to explore the portrayal of mental illnesses in two non-horror films. For my paper, I have decided to analyze Shutter Island, a psychological thriller, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a comedy-drama film. Both Shutter Island and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest reveals the fragility of

This semester in World Theatre we have covered different theatres from all over the world dating back to the beginnings of theatre to the present. We’ve studied how theatre is different everywhere in the world and the groups we’ve gone over the most are Western theatre, Asian theatre, and African theatre. We have learned about how theatre has changed over time, and that in some areas such as Asia it has stayed the same for thousands of years. Each theatre has its own style and each have set of elements that define what the theatre is truly about. In this paper I will be writing about what elements and pieces of each theatre that we have learned about that I believe together would form a type of theatre that would be a universal and would work in any given culture.

Marshall McLuhan says, “The medium is the message”. The way media represent the message can have huge impact on people’s everyday life. According to Korstanje Maximiliano (2012) “Movies, films and documental TV programs not only reflect the gaze of directors and players, but also the mind of whole society. Social anthropology discovered from many years ago that movies are associated to the construction of narratives and archetypes which exerts considerable influence in public opinion.” Movies and TV episodes could quietly and deeply influence people’s mind and people were hard to control it.

Horror Films are a common form of entertainment, which uses mental illness stigmas to their advantage. In many cases, these movies use mental health disorders such as psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. These disorders are used to create those suffering from mental illness as bad or evil. With using these serious issues, and further promoting them as a crazy person who kills, harms, or tortures others and it further tarnishes mental illness because of it. As a fan of the horror genre movies, it is easy to glance over the stigmas being used.

The infants were all between the ages of 7 and 174 hours, with the mean age being 68.5 hours. The stimulus for the experiment were eight photographs of attractive or unattractive Caucasian female faces. The pictures were judged by ten adults on attractiveness using a 1 through 7 scale, with 1being the most unattractive a face could be and 7 being the most attractive a face could be. The eight photos were put into groups of two, one attractive face and one unattractive face, creating four pairs. Of the four, three pairs had neutral expressions while one pair showed smiling faces with teeth showing. Also, two pairs were in full color while the other two pair were black and white

However, nothing seems more natural than the emergence of the past: it arises because time passes. It so happens that tomorrow today is already a thing of the past. It has become yesterday. The relationship between theatre and memory is very complex and multifaceted, especially since, unlike the other arts, the dramatic art includes active involvement of flesh-and-blood humans on the stage of life here-and-now. According to Mirushe Hoxha if, ideally, the spectator truly receives the presented experience in his/her own self, the experience will leave an eternal trace in the storage of his/her incorporated motivation, that is, in his/her recessive body, at the behest of which his/her future ecstatic bodily functions may echo in the context of social practices. When the actor’s body makes an offering to the spectator’s body, theatre becomes a breeding ground for new results, at least of its own history. Theatre then really turns into an act of the most deeply rooted, genuine love between two human

Paul Ekman was born in 1934 and at age 14 his mother committed suicide after suffering from severe bi-polar disorder. At that point, he decided he wanted to study facial expressions of emotion in order to assist other people before such tragic outcomes occurred. By the time he was 15, he had enrolled in University of Chicago and became interested in group therapy. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in 1954 and in 1958 he had earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Adelphi University. His Master’s thesis was about the study of facial expressions and body movement. From 1960 to 2004 he worked at the University of California and starting in 1963 he received continual research grants from the National Institute of Mental Health for 40 years to study nonverbal behavior.

Theatre and live performance can serve so many purposes and one of them is to globally entertain the audience and to shape the society through the lessons learnt from a performance or play. Theatre exists because we are mimetic and communal beings, we seek order, finally we enjoy and need entertainment.

Although, there is no denying the fact that the folk theatre or what is critically known as the “traditional” theatre had given up the rigid and sophisticated methods of the Sanskrit theatre, yet it owed a lot to its predecessors in many aspects. Therefore in the present discussion, wherein the impact of the Indian folk drama on the contemporary writer will be examined, one cannot help reverting back to the Sanskrit or classical form of theatre as well. Sanskrit drama assumed a specific social setting, a steady, well-ordered universe in which everyone from the gods to the meanest mortals was in his or her allotted slot…Along with this court theatre there had existed other, more popular forms—more flexible, varying in their
