Body image dissatisfaction is a heavy issue that a lot of women face, yet it lacks perspectives in the eyes of the media. Instead, the issues are more focused on younger, more adolescent girls’ point of view. This lack of depth contributes to a shallower understanding of body image issues since women from many other walks of lives also experience the same thing. This mission is what the creative work strives for. Using the Self-Discrepancy theory, it explores how body image issues appear in an adult woman’s life, how it affects it, as well as how she learns to overcome the problem. The film is emotional with a dash of magic in it, so it falls under the drama and low fantasy genre.

The exploration of the aforementioned issues is supported by Rohner’s Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory and Bowlby’s Attachment Theory. The form of this creative work is a bildungsroman novel about the journey of a boy named Elliot who suffers from verbal abuse from his mother due to his birth origin.

Self-esteem has become an important factor for children’s confidence in shaping their self-identity. As children are growing up, they might face questions regarding their self-identity. Self-identity can be divided into ‘natural self’ and ‘environmental self’ which is acquired through external forces. However, there are cases when their identity does not conform with society’s expectation. In these cases, children might find the need to fit in with their surroundings. Therefore, this creative work explores how self-esteem helps embrace one’s identity to develop one’s life goals. Based on Morwenna Griffiths’ theory that was influenced by American Philosopher William James and an American psychologist Carl Rogers, I will explore how one gains self-esteem in order to grasp self-confidence. Unconditional regard and achievement are significant reasons for solutions to the development of self-esteem. My creative work will tell the stories of five characters. The characters will go on a journey to finally be confident in their self-identity. They will regain their self-esteem by realizing their self-worth and value. Children might learn the importance of embracing their identity through my creative work.

This creative thesis is about self-efficacy and learned helplessness in young adults. Self-efficacy is the belief in one’s ability to achieve one’s goal. The lack of self efficacy is known as learned helplessness, a term to describe the belief that one does not have control over the future. Through a novella, this thesis explores why young adults experience lack of self-efficacy and how they develop self-efficacy. This novella implements the theory of self-efficacy by Bandura (1997) and the theory of learned helplessness by Peterson, Maier, and Seligman (1993). The novella tells a story of a young adult girl, Etta, who is living in an oppressive orphanage. Due to her traumatic experience, she suffers from learned helplessness, making her unable to get out of the oppressive environment. However, after reading her senior’s diary, getting support from her close ones, and practicing the skills, she develops the belief that she can escape the orphanage. Her new conviction helps her in overcoming setbacks until she is able to achieve her goal.

This thesis examines the portrayal of Elijah Kamski as a God-like figure in the video game Detroit: Become Human and explores the impacts of his godlikeness. Detroit: Become Human is an interactive drama game developed by Quantic Dream and released in 2018. The narrative centers on androids created by Elijah Kamski, who gain self-awareness and begin to develop human-like empathy. By applying Jones’ (1923) concept of the God Complex and the DSM-5’s (2022) criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, this study identifies key actions and behaviors that contribute to Kamski’s depiction as a God-like figure. Additionally, this analysis incorporates Driscoll’s (2016) “White Man’s God Complex” and Khorram-Manesh’s (2024) work on the impacts of narcissistic leadership to demonstrate how these traits underscore social inequality and societal instability caused by the androids’ creation. This thesis argues that Kamski’s God Complex—an extreme manifestation of narcissism—positions him as a God-like character within the game. His portrayal significantly influences the narrative, leading to the dehumanization and abuse of androids.
