Comparison Of Parenting Styles In Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory

Permissive parenting style is shown by two parents of the character in the movie. According to Dr. Martin (as cited in Williams, 2016), parents who use permissive parenting are loving and warm to their children, but they are undemanding. They make no boundaries and rules and let the children do what they want even it is a wrong thing. Veruca’s parent is an appropriate example for this parenting style.

In Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and Grandpa Joe, once break the rule by drinking a must not drink soda. But, in the end, he can truthfully admit his fault. He also returns a forbidden candy that is given by Mr. Wonka which he used to test the children. While, in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie is drawn as a very obedient child. He is never done bad things. His patient in the end gives him a fruitful result. He gets a present that change his family’s life forever. Authoritative parenting style is proven to shape children’s character development even better since the parents balancing the children’s needs at the same time give them rules on how to or not to do

Each child commits a singular sin that disqualifies them from being the future owners of the chocolate factory, which is symbolic of a child’s heaven. In the end, Charlie represents Everyman, by being granted the factory. Even though he has committed a small sin, he ultimately was forgiven by God (or in this case Willy Wonka) and given paradise which is the answer to Charlie’s poverty.…

    According to Baumrinds Parenting Style she states that the Authoritative style is the most effective way to raise a child. Somebody who is a good parent will have a nurturing side which means that they will not shy away from emotions and affection, they will teach the child how to express themselves but also how to be respectful of others. Good parents do not focus on harsh punishments but rather teaching the child that its ok that they did something wrong but they mustn’t do it again and understand why the action was wrong. Children raised by authoritative often grow up to have a positive and very secure sense of themselves; they also have the ability to maintain healthy relationships with peers as both adults and…

    The Breakfast Club (Part Two: Theories) Social Identity Theory: “Tajfel (1979) proposed that the groups (e.g. social class, family, football team etc.) which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world.” (McLeod 2008) In this movie there are five adolescents trying to find themselves and fit in within the groups they currently belong or have migrated into; the exception of one, Allison who acts out in mannerism that isolates her which is easier than trying to fit it.
