Recommended: Hierarchy of needs

1.) Sam provided stages one through four for Lucy. For stage one Sam gave Lucy a sense of trust. He bought her better diapers when the cloth when the ones Sam made didn’t work. Though, in the beginning Sam wasn’t feeding Lucy enough so he asked for help and got a feeding schedule going. If Sam did not provide all these important aspects for Lucy then it could build some mistrust. Stage two occurs when Lucy starts to talk and walk. With Lucy starting to do these things independently she also started to notice other things that she could do on her own. Although in the movie we didn't get to see much of this stage we can infer that Sam helped provide it for her. In stage two Lucy learns anatomy. Stage three occurs when Lucy suggests going to a burger place instead of IHOP. …show more content…

First of all, Rita provided a few of the needs for Willie. Willie’s parents provided him with food, shelter, water, and many other necessities. So he was pretty good when it came to his physiological needs. He was also provided with a lot of safety. This is due to his parents good jobs. With such good income they are able to get a nice big house with good protection and resources. Although, with both parents working he was not provided with a lot of love or belonging. His parents did not spend too much time with him at first but in the end of the movie he spends more time with his mom. And when it comes to esteem and self actualization. Not much was provided at all. I believe Rita was provided with about the same things as Willie was. Although they don’t say much about Rita's past I assume that she was provided with physiological, safety, esteem and self actualization needs. I am not quite sure if she was provided with love and belonging. She might have not been and that could be the reason that she did not spend a lot of time with Willie at first. These are a few characters and the needs they were provided

    America has always been depicted as an amiable place to live in. More than often, foreigners would visualize America as the place where neighbors would greet each other in the morning and have their children play in the back yard with the family dog. However, as with most foreigners, this image was shattered by the adverse environment that surrounded them. One of the biggest mistakes that they failed to recognize was the murder of innocent civilians. These murders were almost always published on the front-page of every major newspaper. As such, Americans have always been interested in the death of others. This is true in the ninetieth and, more predominately, twentieth century. As tales of murders got colder and bloodier, Americans had an instinctive

  • Importance of Women in Russell Baker’s Growing Up

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    Lucy Elizabeth was Russell’s symbol of strength, a pillar of confidence. She was a fierce woman who was not afraid to speak her mind, and when she did she spoke it in an educated manner. He may have been bothered by her strict ways, but in reality she was his idol. Her strength brought Russell and his sister Doris through many hard times, and her will to succeed and be the best was instilled in him for life. There are many examples of such strength in the text of Growing Up to fill fifty pages, but I will only list what I feel are the most important ones. One of the biggest struggles Lucy Elizabeth had to endure was the fact that she conceived Russell out of wedlock. Unlike the present day, in 1925 this was sternly looked upon, especially for schoolteachers such as herself. Her pregnancy cost her, her job and forced her into marrying an alcoholic with an overbearing mother. Lucy’s life changed abruptly a few years after Russell’s birth when her h...

    “The Help” is a white mock feel good movie, which seems to feature amnesia of racial conflicts in the South as its primary theme (Stockett, 2009). Author Natasha McLaughlin suggests that ‘The Help’ focuses upon the home and the relationship between African-American domestics and the laws of Jim Crow’s neglected ‘other half’: Jane Crow (McLaughlin, 2014). The American Civil Rights Movement mainly accommodates the public with a view concentrated upon a male dominant perspective but appreciations to Stockett and her moving interpretation of the relationship of Caucasian housewives and their African-American maids the public gets a rare white-washed version of events dealing with the civil rights movement going on within the interior of the households

  • Analysis Of Disney Movies

    2023 Words  | 5 Pages

    It is safe to say that Disney movies are not before anyone’s time. They have been passed down from generation to generation and still have a positive impact on pop culture today. The values of Disney movies though have always been the same. That is to follow your dreams and good things will come. The only problem is what they teach you about the journey and the people you meet on the way there. Women aren’t given the most respectful depictions in Disney films and that hasn’t been a problem through the years because their films still sell. Children don’t know the difference between being a damsel and a heroine, or how the hero always gets what he wants. Given the right distraction, parents are none the wiser about these hidden personas that their children are being exposed to. Ironically enough, these stories originated from a darker perspective. Both Disney and German fairytales focus on stories about a character that come from rags to riches because it inspires people. At a time when Germany needed hero’s and magic, these fairytales gave people of older and younger ages hope for better times. Disney on the other hand targeted the younger female viewers. Fairy tale films made in the GDR have a surprising number were adaptations of the Brother Grimms’ fairy tales (Fritzsche, 4). At first, the fairy tale genre as a whole and particularly the Grimms’ tales were designated as “folklore,” which reinforced the values of the ruling classes. It was until the first congress of Soviet writers in August 1934 when Maxim Gorky rehabilitated the genre as a folktale that encouraged class struggle (Fritzsche, 5). Although the fairy tales were seen as East German cultural heritage during the country’s formalism debates, the Gri...

    The theories of the window and frame had its origins in the schools of formalism and realism. Both schools main objective was to amplify the prestige of film. During that era of film was an upstart sideshow attraction, high class form of entertainment was the theater and the visual art forms of paintings and statues. Both schools saw cinema as a way of looking a through an aperture but keeping the audience at a distance from the subject on the screen. Whether looking through at frame or looking through a window the audience would be viewing the subject matter but they would only be able to absorb it. That’s where the similarities end the formalist lead by theorist Sergei Eisenstein saw film as frame and would create shock in an attempt to provoke or raise consciousness. Sergei Eisenstein would create what he wanted to the audience to see in his films. For example in the Battleship Potemkin Eisenstein wanted to address the situation with Russia and he created the situation in his film to incite a revolution by creating chaos. The realism school lead by André Bazin saw cinema as window. To Bazin a spectator would be apart of the film as more of a witness more than just a spectator. In the movie Rear Window Jefferies was witness to his neighbor wife murder while looking through window because while looking through a window what one sees is real.

  • Soft Movie Analysis Essay

    1318 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the short film entitled Soft, director Simon Ellis firmly establishes a combination of character types that enhance the dramatic action being conveyed. More expressly, the father (and his son to a lesser extent) is clearly established as the protagonist due to the fact that the video’s dramatic development is centered on him and the story advances from his point of view. Also, a protagonist is almost always presented with a seemingly insurmountable hurdle/fear that he or she must conquer by the conclusion of the piece. In the case of Soft, both the father and his son are pitted against a local band of thugs, which they each greatly fear. As a distinct method of illuminating the unique thoughts, feelings and actions of the protagonist, this
