I recommend two (2) viewings. By the second viewing focus on a specific character and summarize the social role and contextual influences surrounding the character. During the first viewing, examine how the characters are portrayed (personality, self identity, & factors influencing/affecting the character’s behaviour, growth, and development) in popular culture (media: print or movie). Pick one of the characters to focus on for further exploration. Observe how social roles are represented and the contextual factors that influence the construction of these roles. Examine the realistic representation of the character by engaging in discussions with peers. Share and listen to different perspectives/views that support or deviate from social expectations within the specific context of the story and Reflect on the similarities or differences of personal experiences. By second viewing think about: attitudes (including prejudice, discrimination, stereotypes etc.), aggression, social influence, group behaviour (peer pressure, perceived expectations etc.), cognition, compliance, conformity, obedience, deception, perception of self (identity) and others (including gender and sexuality), altruism, violence, attachment, body image, bullying, victimization, career choice and support systems... also focus on how perceptions change or stay the same over time, reflect on change or lack of change and what may be possible explanations/rationales for change or lack of change.

The paper will also offer other possible explanations/rationales about the outcome on the present and future situation. Use at Least three (3) theoretical frameworks to support explanations/rationales. Consider a Behaviourist (classical and/or operant conditioning, associations, rewards vs. punishments), Psychodynamic (conscious, unconscious, drives), Cognitive, Social or Interactionist perspective to explain the formation and influence of identities (character/self) as well as possible developmental outcomes across the lifespan.
