Abstract

Institutionalization is a socialization process through which the values, beliefs, policies, and practices of an organization are instilled within the members of that organization that they might collectively adopt these values or rules and commit themselves to that organization. However, those being institutionalized under authoritarian discipline may lose the freedom of their soul and a personal level of self. In order to raise readers’ awareness of the impact of institutionalization and commitment on the individual or collective actors, this study intends to use the film The Shawshank Redemption as a case study, using content analysis as a qualitative research technique to analyze the symbolic scenes in the film in order to reveal how commitment and stability via institutionalization can be brought into the organization. To achieve this goal, the study uses Scott’s institutional theory and Meyer and Allen’s organizational commitment model to demonstrate how commitment may greatly impact people. Those being institutionalized, like Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption, may lose their ability to think and act independently and thus lose their hope for fulfillment. However, those like Andy and, later, Red, choosing to hold on to freedom of the soul and a personal level of self, can deinstitutionalize themselves; break free of the shackles, either physically or spiritually, of the organization; and make a commitment toward their own inner development.

Abstract

This study intended to use “The Yellow Wallpaper” as a case study to demonstrate how illness narratives can be used to form an empathetic connection with respect to patients’ anxiety, predicaments, trauma, or other health problems and, further, to reach self-identification and justification. To achieve the research objectives, the study used Charon’s illness narratives regarding attention → representation → affiliation and Engel, Zarconi, Pethel, et al.’s six narrative skills as a framework to examine how the nameless female narrator struggles to reach her own female identification and subjectivity in a gender-discriminated patriarchal hegemony, but gradually becomes hysterical, losing her mind, and finally, going insane.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to use Abrahamson’s film Room as a case study to examine how PTSD may influence people’s lives and how they can use emotional processing to turn their extreme feelings into something positive. In order to reach this objective, Foa and Kozak’s emotional processing theory was used to analyze the protagonist,Joy “Ma” Newsome, with respect to various traumatic situations and resulting PTSD symptoms she has experienced, as well as her attempts to use emotional processing to cope with her psychological disorder and find meaning in the traumatic events in order to live again. The ultimate goal of this study was to help readers confront their own traumatic memory; although the world is not as perfect as we think, we can use Foa and Kozak’s emotional processing theory as a mechanism to make sense of traumatic experiences and bring about a positivechange.Keywords: emotional processing theory; mental disorder; PTSD; traumamemory.

Abstract

This study analyzes how the characters in Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina’s animated film Coco, mainly Mamá Imelda, Héctor, and Miguel, manage their emotional responses when they are facing loss, bereavement, or other significant changes in their lives. The study uses Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five-stage model of grief to analyze how these characters go through the grieving process. Moreover, in order to suggest how those who are grieving can enter into positive states of mind, the study expands on Kübler-Ross’s original model by incorporating a positive mindset of hope. In dialogue with Unkrich and Molina’s film, the study uses Kübler-Ross’s ideas to explore coping mechanisms that can help manage difficult times in life, while also suggesting the benefits of maintaining a positive mindset through hope.

Abstract

Research has shown that gender inequality persists at managerial levels, with an increasing number of women occupying middle and lower managerial positions while men dominate higher managerial roles. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “glass ceiling,” represents an invisible barrier characterized by gender biases that prevent women from attaining high-level positions within organizations. A notable gender gap remains in the professionalization of the classical music field, particularly in orchestral conducting. To understand how gender politics and occupational sex segregation affect women’s career development, workplace relationships, and gender relations, this study conducts qualitative research using latent-content analysis of the film The Conductor. It examines how women experience occupational sex segregation under gender politics and societal norms. The findings reveal that deep-rooted gender norms and biases within male-dominated professions not only limit women’s access to leadership roles but also reinforce occupational segregation. By highlighting the struggles of women in breaking barriers, the studyexplores the potential for women to cultivate their own female subjectivity, empowering them to overcome occupational sex segregation and affirming their significance in male-dominated professions. This research has some limitations as it focuses on the narratives of an individual female in the film and hence cannot adequately represent the diverse experiences of women in different occupations. Future research may compare and analyze real-life cases from different occupations and cultural backgrounds to gain a comprehensive understanding of gender dynamics.

Abstract

This paper aimed to examine the unfair treatment and inequality among women by using and assessing the racial, class, and gender perspectives. It also demonstrated the intersectional discrimination against women, and how it brought the oppression and subordination of women in the private and public spheres, which can be characterized as violations of basic human rights and obstacles to the attainment of women™s equality, development, and integrity. In order to further demonstrate the intersectional discrimination against women, the researchers took The Help as a case study to compare various oppressive situations of White middle-class and African-American women and depict how the multiple and overlapped forms of oppression and structural discrimination should be taken into consideration to address the intersectional discriminations against women, particularly African American women. This study adopted latent-content analysis, including primary and secondary resources, as a qualitative method to facilitate analysis of underlying content. The study further concentrated on the diverse perspectives of women to observe various forms of discrimination and examine how the intersectionality of race, class, and gender affects their experiences and conditions of being discriminated. While reflecting upon the discrimination and oppression of the underprivileged genders, races and social classes, readers may manage to deconstruct the œintersectionality and better empathize with those who are marginalized.
