Psychosocial Development as Seen in the Movie the Blind Side

Psycho kindly Development Psycho affectionate ripening is an integration of the principles of personal, psychological and cultural or social development. The psychosocial view of problems focuses on the idea that problems are rooted in family issues. Heinz Kohut said humans drop narcissistic needs that are cheerful by new(prenominal) people, represented as self-objects. If the child receives enough mirroring (positive attention) from self-objects (chiefly the bugger off), the disposition of self develops appropriately and affects their social life.If theres too much mirroring, the child wont be able to deal with frustrations. If theres too little, the development of the self is stunted. In the celluloid The Blind Side Before meeting Tuohys, Michael was reserved and had very some friends. It is apparent that he did not receive sufficient mirroring from his parents fleck increment up which resulted in his psychosocial dysfunction. At school he was ridiculed because they thi nking he was dumb in the sense that he did not verbalize to anyone and he wasnt cognitively smart.As he gradually bonded with Sean Junior he came out of his shell and began expressing himself and communicating with others even more effectively than before. For character when he saw the children at the park playing and he went towards them, his admission s commissiond them away, entirely after he was told to smile and present a warm approach to the children to let them know that he is friendly the children were automatic to allow Big Mike to play with them. This improved his social abilities to a great extent. Michael was introduced to a different milieu, he not only learnt from the parvenu family that adopted him but he also taught them something.This is seen when Michael stayed over for Thanksgiving and while everyone else was watching television and eating their meal in the living agency he was seated around the table. When Mrs Tuohy saw him around the table she demanded th at the broad(a) family sit around the table. This goes to show that this was a social grace or something customary to Michael that was not a part of the Tuohys socialization. One other theorist, Karen Horney suggested that Psychoanalytic Social Theory is built on the assumption that social and cultural conditions, especially childhood experiences, are largely responsible for make personality.People who do not cast their needs for turn in and affection convenient during childhood develop basic antagonism toward their parents and others and, as a consequence, nourish from basic anxiety. In addition, watching the depiction The Blind Side, I have observed the main character Michael as being socially handicapped as a result of his family background and experiences. Michaels hostility was that of silence as it can be assumed that his need for love and affection was not satisfied during his childhood due to his parents absence.His father was not involved in his life at all but his mother was there for him or she wanted to be there for him but because of her do drugs addiction it disabled her ability to supply his needs as a child. According to Albert Bandura most human learning is observational learning, not teach and occurs by observing what others do and imitating what one sees. One need not actually perform the behaviour oneself. Taking for example in the movie where Michael was not cognitively intelligent in other subject areas but he was tested 98% in protective instincts.This might have been because of his past experience as a child and growing up he had to fend for himself, not because he saw persons fending for themselves but because he was left with no other option. This especially was due to the fact that he was a ward of the state and was placed in foster care but did not want to stay. His protective instinct could also have been adapted from observing how the gangsters from his community would defend themselves in gang fights , hustling in the s treets etc. Therefore, his strong area of social development was in protect himself/ his blind side.Another instance in which Big Mikes psychosocial development was evident was in the connection between the time Mrs Tuohy saw him base on balls in the cold and asked him if he had somewhere to stay. Because of his hesitation she said taket you dear lie to me. He ended up develop meaning from this dialogue and learnt that lying is wrong. In the ending after being questioned by Mrs Granger, out of rage and anger he repeated the same(p) phrase to Mrs Tuohy (dont you dear lie to me) when he tried to find out from her whether or not she was forcing Big Mike to go to the college of Mississippi.
