"Pink Therapy"
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The fundamental importance of Davies and Neal's Pink Therapy is to illustrate how the culture of homosexuality is no different from any other cultural composition throughout the world, inasmuch as each global group must be appreciated and approached in a fitting manner when counseling is involved. Therapists do not interact the same way with proper British gentleman as they do a black urban youth, so it stands to reason why counseling gay, lesbian and bisexual populations are deserving of the same personal focus amidst a background of social stigma, isolating attitudes and harsh judgment.

"Pretty Woman" - Social Psychology Principles
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The film Pretty Woman utilizes a number of social psychological principles befitting the diverse nature of the two leading characters. Looking for a break from his otherwise structured and restricted life, the wealthy business man crosses social boundaries by spending time with a prostitute; inasmuch as he views the entire situation as wholly innocent, he acts out behaviors clearly based upon well worn stereotypes. However, the most pertinent scene where this bias gives way to an attitude change is when he meets her in the hotel lounge for their business dinner date. Failing to notice her as she sits at the bar in 'appropriate' attire, he does a double take when he finally realizes the streetwalker from earlier in the day had been transformed into a well-groomed, attractive woman. Their walk through the lobby draws many admiring glances from guests and staff alike, confirming how presentation of self is a powerful determiner of stereotypical treatment.

While Cavaiola and Lavender obviously does not intend this to be the case, books of this type lend themselves to a certain degree of misuse. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
