All of the memories that the characters create are different colored orbs that are stored in a quite large library outside the main building. Riley also has personality islands that are just floating islands in her head that explore who she is, such as family and friends, hockey, and Goofball Island. But as Riley moves to San Francisco everything is suddenly turned upside down.

It 's not always about how things look on the outside, but more about your inner self. More about getting those individuals to believe in themselves.The film helped me to see the value of building up self esteem. I know in math some of the kids that say they don’t like math just had a bad experience with it. Usually I’ll try and give them something simple just to start to let them feel a sense of accomplishment. Then I usually will continue to build from there. This film never gets old. It’s still very relatable today and a young audience would be able to see themselves in any of those characters. This film reminded me that kids are coming to class with many different experiences, emotional phases, as well as insecurities. I must remain cognizant of them along with continuing to be that positive role model they need. I would recommend this film to anyone that has kids they would like to keep encouraged as well the ones they believe are
Without memories, nobody can make the right decision, which will lead to a bad choice. Without memories, one cannot shape his or her future. In addition, when Jonas describes the pain he feel when experiencing a sunburn when, “‘It hurts a lot,’ Jonas said, ‘but I’m glad you gave it to me. It was interesting,”(Lowry 86). This quote show that Jonas does not understand
Jonas and the giver are the only ones allowed in the community to experience these memories; “I received all of those, when I was selected. ”(Lowry 78). All other citizens are hidden from them because they reveal the dark side of reality. By hiding them from their own mistakes, the community successfully creates the illusion of a perfect utopia. Legend’s illusion of a utopia is more dehumanizing because they tricked citizens into fighting for the right to be controlled.
Lois Lowry uses Jonas’ conflicts to develop the theme that ignorance only brings happiness temporarily. Lowry uses Jonas’ internal struggle, dialogue between characters, and Jonas’ training as the Receiver of Memory to highlight and develop this theme.

Throughout the movie, we see the changes in Riley’s mind through the actions of the emotions and events that occur. Inside Out is a film that accurately depicts many aspects of psychology.

While this position holds high honor it is also a painful load to hold. Jonas will hold all memories of the past. Receiving memories is not like watching a movie, as Jonas soon expe...
Jonas misses the way it was before he had memories where there was no pain or feeling, because everything was innocent. But he understands that although there was innocence nobody feels true happiness.Jonas thinks: “But he knew he couldn’t go back to that world of no feelings that he had lived in so long” (Lowry 131). Jonas wishes he could go back when everything was innocent and when he had no burden of pain, but although there was innocence the bad memories were stripped away to avoid the feeling of pain but also leaves everyone emotionless. But he knows it can never be the same again because of all the knowledge he gained from memories. He learns that memoires need to be valued, even the painful ones. Jonas feels that his community can change and things could be different. He thinks they should live in a world with memories. Jonas says: “Things could be different. I don’t know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colours [...] and everybody would have memories [...] There could be love” (Lowry 128). Jonas wishes that they could all have memories because everyone would be able to experience love. Love is one of the most important things in human life.

The Boy who couldn’t stop Washing written by DR. Judith Rapoport, published by Penguin books in 1989, containing 292 pages, deals with obsessive compulsive disorder. Dr. Rapoport is a psychiatrist who specializes in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In this, book she reveals new drug treatments, new methods in diagnosis and behaviorist therapies. This is done through the study of her patients and their disorders. Rapoport has revealed this secret disease and hopes to bring and understanding about it to all that may suffer from it and to anyone who may want to be informed. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about OCD. It may help those who face this disease everyday of their lives, and make them realize they are not alone. Also will aid in those who do not know much about this disease and give them and understanding and be aware that it surrounds us.
After completing the reading on chapter 8, emotions, I was intrigued on how our emotions can alter our feelings and also how they are sometimes hard to manage as they can interfere with what we are trying to accomplish. One of the positives that I took from the chapter was the idea of the fallacy of perfection which is the ability for someone to handle a situation with confidence. With this idea it is important for us to admit that we are not perfect and that we do have flaws. From this we can better ourselves emotionally and socially because as the book says no one likes a know it all. Also, it is good to admit that you are wrong every once to show that yourself it is ok to be wrong. At my job I have told a customer that "I don't know" or
As time goes on, more emotions are added and the control panel becomes increasingly complex. This demonstrates emotional development over time moving from childhood into adolescence. A great example of the exchange between cognition and emotion are Riley’s memory balls. Each memory ball has a central emotion that is felt in the memory. Riley has a set of core memory balls which shape the way Riley thinks and feels about the world. Joy prides herself in the belief that all of Riley’s core memories are shaped by joy. Joy is the leader of Riley’s team of emotions and allows most of the team to serve their function. Joy is in control of keeping Riley happy, fear and disgust keep her from making unsafe decisions such as ingesting poison while anger protects her from others and gives her an incentive to be a better hockey player. Inside Out disproves the common assumption that emotions disrupt our thought rather than organizing them. Emotions shape our perceptions of our environment, memories, and
Not many children’s movies show children how the brain develops, stores memories and works in day to day life, but Inside Out does just that. Within this hour and a half movie the psychology topics of long term memory, short term memory, emotions, and development is all include. Although it is very clear Inside Out indulges on these psychological topics throughout the movie, memory and emotions take the spotlight. Developmental psychology may not be as obvious, but is still in several of the scenes in Inside Out.
Emotions. Everyone experiences them. No matter how old you are, or where you are from we all have emotions; however, we all experience them differently. My happiness is different than your happiness and what you find sad, I might see it as being angry. Emotions are powerful, and sometimes it feels at times that they take control of us. In our culture, there are lot of norms of what is supposed to be expected with our emotions. It is expected in the United States to be in a state of happiness. Going to the opposite side there has been a big rise in Depression, especially among young adults. For one it is normally expected that you feel one way or another way toward something. Emotions are hard to capture, even more so they are very difficult to put into picture. The film Inside Out, however, is able to break down emotion so that even younger kids can better understand them. Parallelism exists a lot between Inside Out and the American idea of how we are supposed to feel. The film, Inside Out, shares parallels to the United States, as it symbolizes the importance of feeling more than one emotion, it shows the effect of depression among the youth, and the sense to always feel happy.
The film begins with the two main characters, Clementine and Joel, meeting for the first time, or so they thought. Shortly after the audience get familiar with the characters a flashback occurs, explaining their past and why they no longer recognize each other. Turns out, they once dated and broke up. The breakup caused sour feelings of one another, which caused them to seek out physicians who specialize in erasing specific memories. The film primarily takes place in Joel's memories, therefore the point of view is mostly from Joel's perspective.
