The Movie I would like to analyze is ____________________ .

Your Answer:

The movie I would like to analyze is Big Daddy.

Identify your first concept and BRIEFLY explain how it is relevant to your movie.

Your Answer:

The first concept would be Child-rearing styles. In this movie, Sonny adopted a permissive parenting style where he allowed the child to make his own choices, so much that he even allowed him to choose his own name! Sonny later learns that this style of parenting is causing trouble in the child’s schooling and resorts to being more assertive in the child’s decision making process.

Identify your second concept and BRIEFLY explain how it is relevant to your movie.

Your Answer:

My second concept would be aggression. Sonny displays hostility through both physical and verbal aggression towards others. The child observes this behavior and imitates the same behaviors in situations. The child, Julian, actually feels seeing others get physically hurt is comical. It seems that Sonny’s outrageous and aggressive behavior is a result of his father’s authoritarian child-rearing style.

dentify your third concept and BRIEFLY explain how it is relevant to your movie.

Your Answer:

The third concept I would cover in relation to the movie is resilience. If not for this 5 year-old’s resilience, Sonny probably would have placed the child with social services. Julian was “delivered” to Sonny’s door with no idea as to who Sonny was or why his mother left him there. We later learn that Julian’s mom dies from cancer. While with his mother there probably was a considerable amount of neglect being as though she was probably to weak and sick to tend to her son needs and the next best person to leave him to is a complete stranger. Considering this, Julian was an adaptive and happy young boy. Also, the sunglasses that Sonny gives Julian help Julian adapt to anxious situations and calm his fear.

My professors comment on my answers was:

I approve of these topics, but I think that you should also consider issues related to Sonny’s development and perhaps adoption.

PJ is a sixty-seven-year-old man with a long history of stable angina. He is treated with nitroglycerin tablets as needed for chest pain. He has mild hypertension, which is well controlled by diet and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. PJ has noticed that his chest pain is occurring with increasing frequency and less activity is required to initiate the symptoms; however, the pain subsides quickly with rest and one or two nitroglycerin tablets.

PJ’s symptoms are consistent with what diagnosis? What education would you provide to PJ?

One morning, at about 4:00 a.m., PJ is awakened from sleep with chest pain and shortness of breath. The pain is much more severe than his usual anginal pain and radiates to the jaw and the left arm. He is diaphoretic and pale. His wife calls for emergency assistance, and PJ is transported to the local emergency department. Upon admission, the electrocardiogram (ECG) shows significant ST-segment elevation.

According to the ECG findings, what is the differential diagnosis? At the time of admission, a blood sample is taken to determine whether PJ has suffered an MI. Which laboratory findings would indicate MI? Describe the pathophysiological responses occurring in the body during an MI.

>>>Note: Use up-to-date bibliography from pathophysiology books no later than 5 years<<<
