2. I picked this film because of the strong message it is meant to put across, considering that Lee wanted the world to acknowledge that while society had experienced significant progress up to the turn of the century, people still had a long way to go in order for the world to be a morally acceptable place. Reading more information about the girls killed during the 1963 Baptist Church bombing really shocked me and made me want to discuss this film.

How many 40-year-old unemployed slackers do you know? Now imagine 2 of them under the same roof obnoxiously fighting about childish things. Step Brothers from start to finish is exactly this displaying 2 outrageously comical actors in Will Ferrell and John C Reilly bickering back and forth trying to learn how to cope with one another. The glory of this film comes from the constant one liners that make no sense but fit the film perfectly, the childish behavior, and the elementary school comebacks mixed in with the adult language which adds a different but great comical sense that few movies have been able to portray before. Such as when Ferrell refers to Reilly as a “Big, fat, curly-headed f***”. This line had me rolling on the floor due to the seriousness of Ferrell and the reaction of Reilly and the fact that it is a simple 3rd grade insult with an F-bomb thrown in there that just makes it all that more funny. Although Talladega Nights and the Anchorman trilogy had better storylines none compare to the pure comedy that Step Brothers provides. Step Brothers is Will Ferrell’s most entertaining movie made to date, and is one that can be watched over and over without losing its humor.

In the movie boys of St. Vincent’s it shows how One of the biggest reason why child and adolescent victims may be reluctant to cooperate with the criminal justice system is that they are afraid of what their attacker may do to them if they report the attack, in the movie Brother Peter Lavin frightened the kids telling them that if they say something to the police they would end up in the street. Also when 10 year old Kevin Reevey say to brother Lavin that his not his mother brother Lavin “punish” him by beaten him, so we can assume that Kevin is terrified to say something against Brother Lavin because he is afraid of all the physical abuse he may receive thinking that if he speaks against brother Lavin the punishment is going to be even

9. Consider the stage of development of children as every child learn and develop at different stage.

2:3 Research the following theories of development; explain how the theories and frameworks influence current practice.

There are many examples that show how different aspects of development can impact one another. In majority of cases, one aspect will lead to another as a natural result, so for example, if a child has a speaks foreign language as his/her first and family just came to UK to live, this may lead to having language barrier, he/she may become shy, not very communicative, isolated, which affects emotional and intellectual development, further, he/she may have difficulty making friends, which can weaken his/her self esteem, affecting social and behavioral development.

Some aspects of the film were very different between the cultures. These aspects are traditionally associated with nurture. A major difference was how often the parents were interacting with the child. The

An important element in Bayar’s upbringing is the fact that for the most part, he remains tightly swaddled in a blanket resting atop a carpet covered bed. His older brother sleeps on the floor beneath. For what seems like a good portion of Bayar’s first year, he is left to observe family life going on around him. Again, the mother is the primary caregiver for the children even though she is also involved in the upkeep of the animals on the farm. The father is documented in sparse interactions like when he sits over Bayar on the bed and waves a rattle in his face. And while the hut the family resides in appears to be hand crafted, the home does contain furniture, cooking devices, electricity and there is also a large satellite out front. Bayar is bathed in a pail in the living room and at one point; the mother squirts breast milk in his face and wipes him down with a cloth.

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood leaves the audience questioning, asking, and wanting more. The entirety of the film is a recollection of memories and experiences throughout the course of Mason’s childhood. Overall Boyhood is like an unsolved puzzle with missing pieces that aren’t enough to solve the puzzle. The entire movie is questionable and has so many gaps in-between each memory that there really is no plot. Since there isn’t a plot it makes you question if it is really about boyhood, about family, maybe Mason’s childhood, or girlhood. Certain questions begin to formulate like, why doesn’t Linklater use the typical format of storytelling during Mason’s childhood? How come we never know what happened between Oliva and Mason Sr? Why doesn’t

The purpose of this assignment is to closely observe the development of a child through an interview and apply the theories and concept of child development in his particular cultural and educational context. I selected the child who lives in my neighborhood for the interview and began with seeking the permission from his parents. The child’s name is ‘Abdullah’ and he is seven years old. He lives with his family in Terre Haute and his family consists of parents and two sisters. Abdullah goes to Sugar Grove Elementary School in the Terre Haute city along with his two sisters and he is in grade 2. The interview was conducted at his home and I ensured his convenience. He was cooperative and provided insightful responses to the questions and he provided significant detail in the interview. I was able to track his development stages and connect it to different theories of Developmental Psychology including psychoanalytical perspectives and Piaget’s stages of development. In the following paragraphs, I will explain my observations about Abdullah’s development in the light of developmental theories with special focus on cognitive, social, linguistic, and emotional development followed by making connections between his socioeconomic and cultural background and development. Lastly, I will conclude paper by highlighting that the observations during the interview can facilitate my future practice as a teacher.
