Will Hunting- Impulsive, Fixated, & Unopen to Experience Michelle McDevitt Student at University of Michigan – Dearborn Abstract Will Hunting is the main character from the movie Good Will Hunting (Armstrong, Gordon, Weinstein, Weinstein, & Van Sant, 1997). Will is incredibly intelligent, loyal to his friends and has the potential to do great things. He is also deeply flawed, the ones that I will be focusing on in this paper are from two humanistic perspectives and one behavioral perspective. Each flaw will be explained as part of the theory, then where they can be seen in the movie, and finally how or if it is resolved in the movie. The three theorists picked for this paper are Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and Walter Mischel. Keywords: Good Will Hunting, Impulsiveness, Openness to Experience, Delay of Gratification, Fixation Will Hunting- Impulsive, Fixated & Unopen to Experience Will Hunting has many qualities that are positive and negative. Throughout the movie he works on resolving many of the negative qualities that imped his growth as a person. Some of the issues he works on are becoming more open to experiences, a fixation in his love and belongingness needs, and developing a better sense of how to delay gratification. While he is working on all of these issues you can truly see in many of the scenes how they truly impact his life and how he grows as a person. (Armstrong, Gordon, Weinstein, Weinstein, & Van Sant, 1997). Will Hunting: Closed to Experience Carl…

depending on the type of environment I was in. After I saw Minnie Driver’s video, it put a lot of things into perspective. When I was younger, I had a really bad habit of assimilating my personality to the nearest group that would accept me into their circle. For over half of my life, I wasn’t me. When looked at from a global perspective, I think it’s a problem a lot of people have because, as human beings, we always have a longing to be accepted. This is an issue that, in my humble…

Why do we act the way we do? What makes us who we are? Questions debated since scientists and psychologists first brought up Nature vs. Nurture. While it 's true and very much proven that we have biological gene markers and traits that are passed on, it’s a lot more than that. Who we are, our core personality is also carved out of events that happen to us, especially in the early developmental years. An exemplary example of how childhood experiences influence our adult personality is the movie…

It's not like it's a "tramp stamp," (is that still a thing?), but some on social media are not warming up to Ariel Winter's new butt tattoo. It's less of where the new ink is located on Ariel -- like the "Modern Family" star's other tattoos -- than what the meaning signifies. Ariel Winter, 19, gave fans on Snapchat an eyeful on Sunday when she uploaded a partial image of her butt that revealed another tattoo. In the pantless picture, Ariel (we assume it's her; her face isn't shown in the snap)…

My brother and his friend were traveling from Little Rock to Texarkana. He wanted to be there for my older sister’s birthday. He and his friend left late at night so that they could get to Texarkana before morning. My brother, Lance, was riding passenger while his friend was driving. Out of negligence, they had been drinking. They were not thinking about what could happen. Why they decided to drink and drive, I have no idea. When they started getting close to Texarkana, the driver started…

see someone in hopeless circumstances. However, having the ability to do something is entirely different than having a passion for it. Although ill-fated, I am fortunate that the events following the accident lead me to discovering my passion. My friend is in the process of getting his life together. He opted to forgo college, as he felt that it wasn’t necessary for his career path. As a result, he often has more challenges that he has to overcome than most. This past summer, he became an…

On Saturday, 12/30/2017, at approximately 1024 hours I was dispatched as a cover unit for Officer Hyink, on the report of a husband who pushed their wife. I arrived on scene at approximately 1027 hours and saw the husband later identified as Confidential Victim #1, outside the garage and the wife, identified as Suspect Prywes, standing inside the garage. I approached Prywes and asked her what happened. She told me she was pushed and hit the concrete hard on her back. I asked her if she would…

stop in the 3700 block of east 21st. As I was walking back to my car I noticed a gold Impala drive past with young children in the back seat.

I conducted the stop in the 4500 block of east 21st. I approached the vehicle and introduced myself and the reason for…
