  • Theme Of Deviance In Benny And Joon

    This lead to one of the biggest questions from the movie, how did he become that way? Hirschi’s Control Theory is a theory that states “that social control depends on people anticipating the consequences of their behavior”(Macionis 248). It was shown in the movie that Sam had a complicated relationship with his family, so his past is a big reason as to why he acts so deviant in the future. On of the four types of social control is attachment. Attachment is family, friends and school relationships. Sam was first introduced as one of Benny’s friends “crazy cousin”. It was clear that he did not enjoy having Sam around. This can reveal that Sam has a weak relationship with his family as a whole because he wasn’t even living with his parents. This would lead Sam to acting deviant without worrying about what they would think of him. It was also later revealed that Sam was kicked out of school based on his actions. Sam never had to worry about his family or school once that relationship broke off. Another type of social control is involvement. Involvement can mean many things, but it’s basically about holding a job, going to school, or participating in a sport. The character of Sam, as stated before, was kicked out of school. So, he didn’t have school keeping him away from deviant behaviors. And then there 's the reveal that Sam can’t write or read well. Sam had made an attempt to get a job at a movie store, but he would 've had to do an application, which required him to write. He was shown to be scared and nervous after he attempted at write on the form. Sam had little involvement in anything because he was a poor writer and reader, which lead him to act more deviant. A final reason as to why Sam acted so deviant, was because had little opportunity in life. He was self conscious about that fact that he couldn 't write, so he never made attempts to move up in the world. He

    The reason I feel that way is because if she would have got involved with Child Protective Services (CPS) at an early age, her signs and symptoms of abuse might have surfaced. The CPS would have performed the necessary steps to remove the children from the home. Tangie would have received the help she needed. My hypothesis then is, if society would get involved and address abuse first than paperwork, children would be helped in a timely manner. In this movie my heart went out to Tangie and Nyla her sister, two children who slipped through the welfare

    In her first marriage, neither Samantha nor Matthew had a career or education. In her second marriage, Samantha had a career, yet her new husband did not.

Age also played a role in emotional stability and readiness for children. After her first marriage ended, child custody and support were quickly given to Samantha.
