For the DYK test that we took this week I received a 75% which was significantly lower than I expected. I like to think that I know my family very well but apparently I still have a lot to learn about them.
- Give your opinion on whether you feel a quiz such as this could be a possible indicator a a person's self-esteem, family functioning, levels of anxiety, behavioral issues, and a person's positive or negative outcomes when faced with educational, emotional or behavioral issues. I disagree that a small little quiz about how well you know your family can really indicate all of that. I do think that parenting and your relationship with family members have a lot to do with how someone turns out as an adult. But this quiz only covers the questions that have to do with your family's history. Just because I know where my grand-parents met doesn't mean I am less self-conscious or that I have a positive outcome of life. In the movie Big Fish, the problem wasn't that Edward Bloom Jr. didn't know if his father really found a secret town in Alabama. It was that Edward Bloom Sr. wasn't a good father. He was selfish, no pun intended, and he didn't focus on how his son was feeling. Whether or not you know your parents history has nothing to do with how you turn out.
- If such research could be validated and measured, discuss what you fell different scores among different people might suggest. I think that if the research that this quiz could be validated, It would suggest that people with scores lower than 60 would be more Introverted and quiet. The reason they don't know so much about there family is because they are simple quitter people. That's the reason I got a lower score than I elected, because I simply don't ask. Its not than Im self- conscious or anything. People with higher scores would be more extroverted. They probably love to sit at the dinner table and ask things like "where were you when the Lennon died?"
- Do you feel that there indicators are even something that is important to be measured? Why or why not. Give details and/or examples. (No right or wrong answers here, just detail your opinion.) Yes I do, as a future psychologist, these kind of studies interest me. Even though I don't agree with them I find find it very intriguing that people who don't know their parents might be a bit crazy.
- William Bloom(the son) never felt like he knew his father was. Was Edward Bloom a neglectful and unloving Father? Explain you answer and cite examples. Yes he was a neglectful and unloving father but for more complicated reasons. The real reason Edward Bloom Sr. didn't talk to his son about his real history is because he simply didn't care, he just wanted to tell a good story. He was a selfish salesman who didn't know how to tell the truth. Instead of telling his son his real life story, he told something that he thought was far more interesting for his own selfish reasons.
- What would be you say is the most important theme or message that you personally took away from the film? Why do you think that particular theme/ message stood out to you? Well I'm going to be honest I didn't really like the movie that much. I didn't hate it but it was alright at best. But if I had to take something out of it I would say the theme of "Honesty". Not just with stories but with everything. All my life my parents have told me the truth about everything. They told me Santa wasn't real, spoiler alert. when I asked them in kindergarten. They told me why they got a divorce, straight up, they didn't sugar coat it. And they told me that George W. Bush is stupid.
- Briefly tell about a time when wonder or imagination affected your life. I was never really an imaginative person. I wanted to be a math teacher when I was 7 years old. I was always very practical and honest. But as for wonder, I say about now I am very curious about the world. I really want to travel the world and see how beautiful it is. Like Ireland and Italy.
