Penetrable Boundaries and Mutations: Cancer as a Monster in David Garland’s Annihilation David Garland’s Annihilation (2018) displays various forms of abjection through the film’s representation of biological mutations that take over the physical and psychological components of the human body. The film’s representation of a pathogenic alien species and its ability to mutate cells is not unlike John Carpenter’s The Thing, as both films form allegories for the spread of a disease throughout society

Infants and Children Learn Through Imitation: Social Cognitive Theory What influences human behavior? Does our surrounding have any influences on our behavior or are we the sole determinants of our behavior? What methods can we use to enhance particular behavior and discourage other behavior? Albert Bandura’s studies on human behavior and its influences resulted in the development of social cognitive theory which answers the above questions. Social cognitive theory was first developed by the

In the “Imitation of Life” and in Nella Larsen’s novellas, Quicksand and Passing, the issue of passing is presented and developed. In Passing, regarding Irene, “She wished to find out about this hazardous business of ‘passing,’ this breaking away from all that was familiar and friendly to take one’s chances in another environment, not entirely strange, perhaps, but certainly not entirely friendly” (Larsen 157). Both versions of the film and both novellas portray black women who come face to face

WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT: TOPIC TWO ESSAY WORD COUNT: 1893 In film, drama is the most diverse of genres with many subcategories such as crime drama, comedy drama, romantic drama, historical drama etc. Dallas Buyers Club directed by Jean-Marc Vallee and The Imitation Game by Morten Tyldum both take on the role of producing historical and biographical dramas.

interventions that are evidence-based can ensure the most effective outcomes. As social workers serve a wide range of populations, there are multiple evidence based interventions used for these different populations and their specific needs. Reciprocal Imitation Training has shown to be a successful and effectual intervention that addresses the needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Supported by several professional research studies, this evidence-based training could be a beneficial intervention

An unexpected imitation test was the then conducted with the owner asking the dogs to remain on the blue carpet and pay attention to a chosen demonstrated action from table S1. Once they have demonstrated this action a predetermined retention interval, the time between the demonstrated action and the “Do it!” command, of one minute or one hour would be waited before the owner gave the dog the “Do it!” command. This test requires the assumption that a successful imitation of the demonstrated action

believes that humans have the ability to imitate, which would influence the way people think. Blackmore addresses the idea of memes, which is “a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the ideas of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation” (36) and then she shows the example of “all of the word in your vocabulary, the storied you know, the skills and habits you have picked up from others and the games you like to play. It includes the songs you sing and the rules you obey.”(37). There

Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT), a naturalistic imitation intervention approach has focused on teaching spontaneous imitation skills during play (Ingersoll & Gergans, 2007, Walton & Ingersoll, 2012). RIT’s goal is to teach imitation skills within ongoing social interactions with an adult using the child’s actions with toys, gestures, body movements, and vocalizations during play. It is suggested that duplicate sets of the toys or objects are used in therapy to aid contingent imitation. Previous

based upon the same fundamental assumption: that art is a form of mimesis, imitation. Both philosophers are concerned with the artist's ability to have significant impact on others. It is the imitative function of art which promotes disdain in Plato and curiosity in Aristotle. Examining the reality that art

friends conclude, must fit a myriad of criteria. During the course of this fiction the idea of fiction itself comes up, specifically idea’s about using imitation as an art and how it makes a man and city just or unjust. Plato speaking as Socrates delivers a few idea’s about this which all develop as he builds his city and the characters figure that imitation in poetry is wholly unjust. In the end, Socrates sets up idea’s about the regulation of art that contradicts what Plato is doing, but he does this
