The Stress Model we have chosen is the Double ABCX Model. This model is suitable for our movie family because we are able to see the problems that the family has faced. The model encompasses the major variables of interest in the movie, including our pre-crises, crises, and post crises. We can see this in the first marriage, the divorce, and the second marriage; as well as everything in between. Many of the stressors are found in many categories. This is because they were not resolved by the crisis- divorce. Resources fall into many categories as well, because how they are used changes how they affect the family system. a 1- Fast marriage (eloped)- Nick and Elizabeth met, and wed, while crossing the Atlantic Ocean while on the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2). …show more content…

She has been there from the time the twins were born. She demonstrates great support for reuniting the family.
2- Elizabeth’s father is also a great resource. Even though he plays a minimal part, he shows continual support for Elizabeth and Nick’s re-kindled relationship.
3- Family traditions can also be a good resource. In the movie, it shows that Nick and Hallie have a long-standing tradition of going camping. Annie seems eager to participate in this tradition as well. This can be a great bonding activity for the reunited family to spend quality time and get to know each other better.
CC 1- The perception of the movie is the parents now need to better focus on the family and create an open flow of communication between the two of them. While the parents learn how to communicate with their spouse and how to raise another child, they will face changes to the prior family structure.
2- There will also be improvement of a newly reconstructed family structure. Since the structure has been split in half for so long, one girl with the father and the other girl with the mother, the twins will need to learn how to have a sibling, and how to have both parents to parent

  • Adolescent Pregnancy in the Film Juno

    ...hasized to me that in more cases than not, the father of the baby does not stay with the mother. Although it is better for the baby to have both parents present in his life, most teenage couples do not stay together as this film would like to have us believe. Most couples do not have the fairytale ending where they live happily ever after like Juno and Pauly. Being kids themselves, having kids and raising them as a teenager is difficult. It is not even easy for grown adults such as Mark who backed away from raising a child. While I have come to learn that pregnancy and the labor and delivery periods are complicated and difficult, I know the hardships do not stop there. Being a parent is a lifetime job, one that requires emotional, mental, economical, and physical stability— all of which lack in most teenagers, thus making most of them unprepared for life as parents.

  • The Goldbergs Case Study

    952 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Murray Bowen’s family systems theory, the family subsists in an arrangement, whereas the individuals are inseparable from their network of relationships, but continue to strive to be individualized. Consequently, various forms of these networks are grounded in the domestic structure and the “normal” or “ideal” family and its development is derived from the interaction of the family members as they remain differentiated, anxiety is minimal, and partners have beneficial emotional communication with their family members (Nichols, 2014). Subsequently, the idea of achieving individuality while remaining in a cohesive family unit may cause stress. Concepts such as differentiation of self, triangulation, emotional cutoff, and anxious attachment may aid in the elucidation of the family system. This theoretical concept along with these coinciding terms will be explored through one episode of the television series The Goldbergs called Rush.

    As I grow up, I comprehend how much I can relate to the movie Parenthood. Although it 's not an exact replication of the movie I still have many instances that I can apply to my family. My family’s life is definitely the roller coaster because we have times of tremendous happiness, but also times where we struggle and find it burdensome to love one another. I don’t only have hardships in my regular family, but also in my extended family. For example, my uncle Victor did not mature as much as the rest of my father’s brothers. He didn’t go to college and has had complications with gambling, and struggles with keeping a steady job. This can relate to Larry Buckman because he was under some of the same circumstances and asked his parents for money.

    Stressors are both physiological and psychological demands placed on an individual from both internal and external environments that can disturb homeostasis. This disruption requires an action to return the body to a balance. Being able to recognize, understand, and cope with stress is critical to overall health and well being of an individual.
