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 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.
