The movie 'Alive'

At the same time, we have a need for positive self-regard - to develop a sense of trust in the accuracy and reliability of our own inner experienced, it is on this we must depend if we are to become independent from and able to make good decisions about life and how we are to be in it.

Pleasantville is a movie where significant change occurs based on the theories of social change. In the movie, the TV show Pleasantville is set in the 1950’s and everything and everyone in that show is in black and white. And being that they’re set in the 1950’s the have the same outdated morals, values and beliefs that are associated with 1950’s culture. However, the town of Pleasantville slowly but surely turns into colour when they go against their societal norms and beliefs and have sex, read, paint, express emotions and many other things. Pleasantville portrays a town that is ready and is in need of social change and how social changes are required for humanity to progress. One could say that the colour changes in Pleasantville are viewed as a bad thing because it would mean that you broke a societal value or norm in Pleasantville where everything is always perfect. However, David and Jennifer prove to the locals that the colour change is anything but bad and how it allows them to express every facet of their minds and not be stuck in the same roles and routines day in and day out. These sociological, anthropological and psychological changes are needed when trying to move forward as a society and Jennifer and David have helped Pleasantville expand their horizons.

The film Ordinary People tells the story of a family in which one of 2 sons dies in a boating accident. The guilt-ridden brother attempt to take his own life out of survivor’s guilt. Rather than facing the issues as a family, the family avoids the subject and tries to carry on as normal. That is, until the past catches up with them. Much of the aftermath issues the family face could have been avoided using conflict management skills and communication. The mother, Beth Jarrett, avoids any conversation involving her son’s death and her other son’s attempted suicide. Conrad, the suicidal son, copes by shutting off all of his emotions and becomes violent and blames himself for the incident involving his brother rather than going through the usual grieving process. The husband, Calvin, tried to face the issue, but buckled under the pressures of his family and got swallowed up in the turmoils of neglecting the problem.

Not having a strong sense of confidence can cause problems such as being easily influenced, having trouble making the right decisions, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships. Developing a strong sense of identity and self esteem is important because we must first learn how to understand and love ourselves before we can allow anyone else to. I am confident because I know who I am and what I want in live. I am driven and goal oriented and I will stop at literally nothing to get what I want. Being confident in myself has allowed me to express myself in a variety of ways without worrying whether or not people are going to judge me. I’m a big believer in “look good, feel good, do good” so I always try to look my best even if I’m feeling not-so-confident on that particular

Everyone who have succeeded in life faced obstacles and criticisms at some point throughout the process. The movie, Rudy, was no difference. It was an American sports film directed by Daniel Anspaugh in 1993. It was based on a true story of Daniel “Rudy” Ruetigger who had always dreamt of playing football at the University of Notre Dame. Through Rudy’s life, he had always been told that pursuing his dream of playing in the Notre Dame football team would only cause him disappointment. However, evident through the entire movie, Rudy’s full desire helped him to overcome any struggles that came into his way. He faced all the challenges that he encountered and achieved his goal. Determination and perseverance led in to Rudy’s success in despite

Self esteem and confidence can be developed by a manager giving good constructive support to a worker. This is then reflected by their performance in the workplace.

I believe that having this self-confidence is necessary in our time and age where the social forces at large always try to push us into different

Self Confident-. A measure of one's belief in one's own abilities. Each character portrayed this characteristic, with Beowulf it was when he went to war with Grendel without any armor on. “I would rather not use a weapon if I knew another way to grapple/ with the dragon and make good boast/ as I did against Grendal in the days gone by.”(“Beowulf” 33) This

The film The Mask You Live In was written, filmed and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. It was released on January 25, 2015 at the premiere of the Sundance Film Festival. Jennifer also released a similar film called Miss Representation, a film about what the expectations of a woman were according to the media. According to the film, using hyper-masculinity among boys and young men through parental teachings and social expectations in the United States negatively affects them psychologically as it affects their way of decision-making and become more isolated throughout their lives. I firmly agree with Newsom’s message she was trying to send out to her intended audience, the parents and our society at large communicated through statistics shown as title sequences and the testimonies coming from boys and men who were once at-risk.

(2) Aileen never felt guilty toward her victims. In the movie, she mentioned that “people kill each and other everyday” for religion and politics, and “there are heroes”. She could not stop killing because she felt that she had to kill people who could rape her to avoid them to rape somebody else. If she had not been caught, she would kill more people. At the end of the movie, after she was convicted, she still considered that the judge sentenced “a right woman to death”.

When someone has the confidence in themselves and what they are capable of accomplishing is called self-esteem. They have the notion that they can achieve any type of situations. They take on goals that are more on their level. Managers should have very high self-esteem so that they can acquire the desire to keep pushing forward when faced with problematic situations (McGraw-Hill, 2006).

The film Pleasantville shows the changes in American society over the past 50 years by placing two teenagers into the Pleasantville show, which was from the 50’s. The movie depicts how there is no longer the “American Dream” and no longer a perfect way of life and the changes the world has made. The world that the teenagers come from is filled with sex, drugs, money, and is very different from the way the world was in which the Pleasantville Show took place in. Morals and values have changed in the people and in society that the teenagers came from and shows it would be impossible to return back to the kind of life style the world had in the 50’s.

No one can get success without having the trust of people on his capabilities because without that he won’t be able to gain enough confidence to take desired actions without the fear of being rejected. Lastly, he must take some steps in order to prove him a leader and also to make him realize his very own potential (Jim Murray).

More and more opportunities automatically come the way of the person with a good self-confidence. In short, success flows to those who have a genuine self-confidence.
