1) Movies: The cinema often describes, either via comedy or drama, certain aspects or issues related to human development. Please choose movies that you have not seen recently. Enjoy the film, and then focus on either the plot as a whole or a single character to answer the relevant questions. If VCR or movie access is a problem, let me know. You can watch these movies in group settings but be sure to develop your report independently.
