Psychology in the Movies and TV

In the next few weeks, you will need to find how psychology is incorporated in any movie or TV show. Apply the psychological concepts that we have covered in class. Don't worry if you don't catch everything. Just see what you can find in the movie/show.

Note: Do not use any movie that we have seen in class. Also, once a movie or show has been discussed by someone on the blog, you may not use that same movie or show for your blog entry.

Due: March 30

Expectations about the future

Imagine what your future will be like. Will you get married? When? Give a specific age. To what kind of person will you get married? Will you have children? A career? What will your career be? How far will you advance in your career? What will you be known for? Will you coach your child's soccer team? Run for the school board? Be a socialite? Talk about your hopes about the future.
