Poor Tarzan’s (Tony Goldwyn) parents are murdered by a ruthless panther when he was a baby. He grows up in the isolated African wilderness, raised by the kind gorilla Kala (Glenn Close) and her Gorilla family. At first, the group is reluctant about letting him live with them until they later on accept him as their own. When a British expedition finds the jungle that they live in, Tarzan encounters the stunning Jane (Minnie Driver) and soon understands that, like her, he is a human being. Tarzan and Jane fall in love, and Tarzan becomes torn between staying with the family h has known his entire life, or embracing civilization. In the end, his home becomes threatened by the selfish hunter named Clayton (Brian Blessed), who then dies and Tarzan saves his family, along with being able to stay with Jane on the island. …show more content…
This is where he goes through the first stage of Piaget’s Cognitive Development, the sensorimotor stage (0-2 years). He uses touch to feel Kala, which inevitably becomes his mother. He cannot distinguish himself from his environment. He has no concept of past or future and all he is aware of is what is occurring here and now. The child relies entirely on its senses. As a baby, he does not understand that his parents at some point were in the same room as him and use to exist and exhibits signs of Object Permanence. He uses touch to explore his surroundings and is a relaxed child since he is so accepting of everything that is going on around him. He also displays secure infant attachment by forming a bond with Kala his new caregiver who he recognizes as his mother. He is also in the first stage of Erikson’s Theory, Trust vs. Mistrust. Tarzan trusts Kala as soon as he meets her, which is simply amazing. Since his parents were murdered he can be considered abandoned by them. Kala helps Tarzan by loving him and nurturing him which gives him a trustful and secure based relationship with
Tarzan begins with Jane and her father adventuring to explore a new world to study the animals there. This led them to meeting a man that was raised by apes and is culturally different from Jane and her father. Jane and her father teach Tarzan to be a man with their cultural world ideas and eventually reject this. The men that brought Jane to the land sees a resource that they want and they first try to gain the trust of Tarzan in order to get their resource but when the time comes they believe that they can use their weaponry to allow them to dominate that wild world and take what they want. Jane eventually tries to relate more to Tarzan’s views and starts to want to help him and wants to be with him in his
No single development theory satisfactorily explains behavior; however, a more comprehensive picture of child development emerges when Jean Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development is integrated with Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development identifies four stages of development associated with age (Huitt & Hummel, 2003). Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs “posited a hierarchy of human needs based on two groupings: deficiency needs and growth needs” (Huitt, 2007). Comparatively, both theories argue that humans need a series of environmental and psychological support to meet our needs. Integrated, these two theories together enable teachers to understand which stage of development students are at and to create teaching
The first video that I watched was a typical child on Piaget’s conservation tasks. The boy in the video seems to be 4 years old. There was a quarter test that I observed. When the lady placed the two rows of quarters in front of the boy, she asked him if they were the same amount or different. The boy said that both rows had the same amount of quarters. Next, when the lady then spreads out one row of quarters and leaves the other row as it is, the boy says that the spread out row has more quarters, he says because the quarters are stretched out. The boy is asked to count both rows of quarters; he then says that they are the same amount.
Jean Piaget proposed four major periods of cognitive development the sensorimotor stage (birth- 2 years), the preoperational stage (ages 2-7), the concrete operational stage (7-11), and the formal operational stage (ages 11- adulthood). He called these stages invariant sequence and believed that all children went through all these stages in the exact order without skipping one. The ages in these stages are only average ages some children progress differently. The point of this message is that humans of different ages think in different ways (Sigelman and Rider, 2015)
Cognitive Growth and Language Development -- A discussion of Jack’s cognitive development can be started in the foundations of Piaget’s preoperational thinking. Piaget lists the significant advances made in language development at this stage. As well, Jack is applying symbolic function which allows him to express his thoughts beyond just repeating what he hears, now his words stand for something that cannot be seen. At this place of preoperational thinking, children can make up a story. Jack is still unable to use rational logic like he will when he reaches Piaget’s stage of concrete operational thought. The day care staff inform Kimberly he is able to identify and categorize objects and when helped by the day care staff, demonstrated the
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget based his cognitive development stage theory on the knowledge a child constructs through physical experience with the environment. It was very clear to him that pupils in middle childhood think differently to adolescents (Phillips, 1969). In this assignment I will discuss why I agree that every stage has an increased level of systematic mental activity (Piaget, 1952).
Piaget’s developmental stages are ways of normal intellectual development. There are four different stages. The stages start at infant age and work all the way up to adulthood. The stages include things like judgment, thought, and knowledge of infants, children, teens, and adults. These four stages were names after Jean Piaget a developmental biologist and psychologist. Piaget recorded intellectual abilities and developments of infants, children, and teens. The four different stages of Piaget’s developmental stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Sensorimotor is from birth up to twenty- four months of age. Preoperational which is toddlerhood includes from eighteen months old all the way to early childhood, seven years of age. Concrete operational is from the age of seven to twelve. Lastly formal operation is adolescence all the way through adulthood.
The movie Tarzan is an amazing movie to watch with friends and family. In the movie Tarzan is an orphan who was left in an abandoned house after his parents are killed. A friendly gorilla steps in and raises Tarzan as her own. Tarzan grows older and meets a lovely woman named Jane. Jane is with her father on an exploration in Africa. When Tarzan meets Jane he finds out he is human. When he falls in love with Jane he makes a decision between being civilized or staying with his gorilla family. He chooses to stay with his family and saves the gorillas.
Director Yates described Skarsgard's Tarzan as a modern man who still has muscles but possesses a lean physique, ripped figure and taller frame. 5. The film will be shot in London and Congo (Africa). 6. Jessica Chastain was originally slotted to play the role of Jane

The story of Tarzan starts with two sets of parents who each care for their own baby. The first set of parents are human who are shipwrecked and trying to make a home for themselves in a tree. The other parents are gorillas, raising their baby in a typical gorilla community. When the human parents and baby gorilla are killed by a tiger, the gorilla mother adopts the human baby and raises him as her own. Her mate, the leader of gorillas, reluctantly agrees but insists that the boy is an outsider, who can never be one of them. Throughout the movie, the boy, Tarzan tries desperately to fit in and win over the approval of his ‘father’. Until humans come ashore, Tarzan was perfectly comfortable hurtling through trees or even walking on his knuckles. While the female human, Jane, makes the human world tempting, the gorilla hunters and their cruelty force Tarzan back into the jungle.
He feeds them fruits and checks the ant farm that the gorillas feeds from. Tod had a fond interest in the gorilla’s strength physically and also socially. When he was younger, he feared the gorillas because he watched Tarzan and remembered how vicious they were. He did not finish the movie, but he did meet a gorilla, named Harambe, who showed him that gorillas are not that bad. With the thought of Harambe in his mind he traveled to the giraffes exhibit to feed and check on their enclosure.
The mom gorilla, Kala, goes to look for her son but finds the human boy instead. She mothers him and raises him despite Kerchak's refusal to treat Tarzan as his son. Tarzan cannot keep up with the tribe and Kerchak views him as a threat. Tarzan becomes friends with a young gorilla who teaches him the ways of the jungle. Kerchak finds Tarzan constructing a spear and kicks him out of the tribe.
Ever since I was little I watched the different remakes of Tarzan also known as The Ape Man and a few of the book series. In 1932, in the first Tarzan and even with the remake being different it had the same concept of an infant, losing his only family, but survives and being adopted and raised by Kala from the ape tribe. As Tarzan matures into a young man with all the instincts of a jungle animal and the physical prowess of an athletic superstar, his life changes forever when he finally meets other humans. A scientist and his daughter, Jane are on an expedition to study gorillas in their natural habitat, but it all changes when their protector plans on capturing the gorillas.
One hundred years ago, Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was a young man developing new insights about learning. He was one of a handful of constructivist-minded writers and educational theorists of the time. Learning theories open educators up to new ideas. They are necessary to expand our knowledge of how learning works. Piaget’s work is a well-tested and educators around the world should be aware of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive development in particular because it will improve the quality of their teaching. Once a teacher knows this theory, they can plan lessons appropriate to their students’ cognitive ability and build upon students’ earlier knowledge in a constructivist way.
