Dudley Dursley is the only son of uncle Vernon Dursley and aunt Petunia Dursley. He is cousin of Harry Potter. His parents ignoring his bullying, greed and greatly spoil him. According to Alfred Adler, order of birth is a major social influence in childhood (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Different childhood conditions will be created with different parental attitudes. The only son never loses their position of primacy and power they hold in the family. They always remain the focus and center of attention in the family. Because of Dudley greatly spoiled by his parents, he always bullies Harry and didn’t get any punishment from his parents. He has a greedy personality which can be seen when he yelling to his father by saying that only 36 presents for his birthday in this year, while last year he got 37 presents. Even his father says that there are some big presents but he didn’t care. He only cares about how many presents he received. This make Harry envy to Dudley because he never receive any present.

    Two characters that I choose for this assignment are a careless and impulsive character in this movie, John Bender, or known as “the criminal”, and a character that being known as a nerd, that is Brian Johnson, or known as “the brain”. In reference to Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, I categorized Bender and Brian in a formal operational stage, that is the final stage of the cognitive development stage. It is because, both of them shows characteristic of adolescent egocentrism. As for Bender, we can see that he had developed the sense of invulnerability because he had taken many physical risks and do not think about the consequences.**

A lot of elements come into play that help to determine a person’s success or failure, but at the end of the day the most important factors are family, education and opportunities.

  • Analysis Of Edward Waterhouse

    979 Words  | 2 Pages

    A Declaration in 1622 is a piece of history that will forever be debated. It was written by Edward Waterhouse who was a prominent Virginia official. In a Declaration in 1622, he describes his first-hand accounts of English genocide and the relationship between the Powhatan and settlers. The point of this paper is to claim that Waterhouse’s portrayal is realistic due to his factual perspective of the time period on the contrasting aspects of the Powhatan and settlers. Diving into Edwards historical accounts can show the hardships of the settlers, the varying characteristics of both groups, the importance of tobacco, and the demonization of Native Americans. The characteristics will conclude the factually sound delineation of Edward Waterhouse.

    As the first African-American to create a multicultural, international concert dance company, Alvin Ailey’s dance company has been dubbed the “cultural ambassador of the world” (Gorman 36). Through his Alvin Ailey Dance Company, he addressed the racism and injustice faced by ethnic minorities across the globe. Ailey clearly revolutionized African American participation in 20th century concert dance as well as revived interest in modern dance. As an extremely talented dancer and choreographer, Ailey’s success is attributed to his dedication and passion for expression through dance, but what is often overlooked is his resilience to the hardships he faced, the mentors he had, and the opportunities

  • Character Analysis Of Mrs Turrpin

    Unlike Bottom, classism is very important to the character of Mrs. Turpin. In Flannery O’Connor’s short story Revelation, Mrs. Turpin sees herself as a generous, kind and friendly woman with a “good disposition.” Similar to Nick Bottom, Mrs. Turpin is also a very egocentric character. Although she may not fully realize her egotism until after Mary Grace hurled a shoe at her, Mrs. Turpin’s view on life strongly shows that she believes the world revolves around her. Her main flaw is the great sense of contentment she takes in her own sense of decency. Primarily, Mrs. Turpin seems to have some sort of sense of entitlement. When she first walks into the waiting room she become annoyed that an young boy (who she describes as dirty and a “poor nasty

    It is known that many important and influential people held slaves during the time in which our country allowed to do so. It’s less known, or strategically forgotten in our history that it was incredibly common for slave owners to have sexual relationships with their slaves, consensual or otherwise. On the website, American Heritage, Annette Gordon-Reed wrote an article in which she makes a good point, “Speaking of love in the context of a master-slave relationship is even more difficult, given the moral and political implications…” Elaborating on her point, how consensual can it be for a person that “owns” someone’s life, to have a sexual relationship with an individual that is there against their own free will? When does
