Provide a rationale for choosing your two theories to explain your character’s personality. Why are your chosen theories applicable to the assessment of your movie character?

/in /by

 

Section 2 of your paper requires you to apply the theories you chose in Section 1 to the character in your chosen film. Do not critique the film. Rather, you should focus on the personality, behaviors, and attitudes of the film’s character. Section 2 of your paper requires you to write an 6-8 page (excluding the title page and reference list) in-depth analysis of your film’s character using the two theories you chose in Section 1. You must use at least six professional references in Section 2 to support your work.

 

In Section 2, address the following areas:

 

  1. Introduce and describe the character from your chosen film. Your character description should be no more than one page.
  2. Provide a rationale for choosing your two theories to explain your character’s personality. Why are your chosen theories applicable to the assessment of your movie character?
  3. Fully analyze the character’s personality according to the two theories you selected for Section 1. The analysis in Section 2 should be detailed and comprehensive. Use constructs from your two theories to demonstrate how they can explain your character’s personality and behavior. You will need to demonstrate how these constructs explain your character’s personality using specific examples from the movie.
  4. Analyze how internal and external factors influence the character’s personality within the context of each theory. These factors include biological, societal, and cultural influences.
  5. Analyze the effect that crisis or trauma-causing events have had on the personality of the character.
  6. Provide your assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of using each theory to analyze your character’s personality. Were there any limitations in using each theory to assess your film’s character?

According to studies of graduates of bachelor-degree programs in psychology, entry-level positions tend to pay relatively little and may be relatively unsatisfying. Although the positions, pay, and reported job satisfaction of psychology majors tend to significantly improve many years after graduation, those who enter the workforce immediately upon graduation risk at least a few years of less-than-satisfactory employment (Landrum & Elison-Bowers, 2009; Rajecki & Borden, 2011).

Although graduate school can be a route to a better paying, more satisfying job and career, it is quite expensive. According to the APA (2003), a doctoral degree results in most students entering into debts worth $50,000 to $75,000 or even more. The median debt incurred for a master’s degree is approximately $25,000 (Kantrowitz, 2011).

Using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources, research choices such as entering the workforce immediately upon graduation or enrolling in a graduate school. On the basis of your research, respond to the following:

  • Select one of the options: entering the workforce upon graduation or attending graduate school. Identify at least five benefits and at least five risks associated your chosen option. For example, if you choose to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation, identify the benefits and risks of doing so. Cite at least two sources of this information.
  • Design a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation illustrating the risks and benefits. Include at least one graph, chart, or table to add to the presentation’s visual appeal.
    • If you have chosen to enter the workforce, imagine you are designing the presentation for a job fair at which you are a recruiter trying to convince new graduates of undergraduate programs to work for your organization.
    • If you have chosen to enter graduate school, imagine you are designing the presentation for a professional conference where you hope to recruit undergraduate seniors to apply to your graduate program.
    • Include one slide with a speech or a persuasive narrative, in your own words, to persuade students or recent graduates to make one choice (join the workforce or enter graduate school).
    • Include at least one slide addressing recent trends in the job market and analyzing whether this is an optimal time to enter the workforce or to continue your studies in graduate school.
    • Include at least one slide addressing the pitfalls recent graduates from bachelor’s degree programs face and how best to avoid those challenges. One pitfall must be related to the financial risk of or the debt incurred as a result of making each choice (joining the workforce and continuing school).

  • Support your statements with information from academic sources, one of which can be your textbook. Be sure to include in-text citations and a reference list on the final slides of the presentation.

In your post, complete the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe the mental health issue in your community on which you will provide consultation.
  • Identify a model of consultation and an approach for consulting within that model that you will employ, based on your readings. Describe the goals you would have for addressing the problem with your chosen model and consultation approach.
  • Describe the consultant role you would take, providing a rationale for your choice.
