Indian Horse (2017)

Watch the movie and answer the following questions

COMMUNICATION BASICS (the theories from the textbook are uploaded as file)

1. Choose one character in the movie who could be considered a competent communicator. Give examples of that person's behaviours that illustrate any four of the following:
• A wide range of behaviours
• Ability to choose the most appropriate behaviour
• Skill at performing behaviours
• Cognitive complexity
• Empathy
• Self-monitoring
• Commitment (caring about both the other person and the message)

2. Identify and explain one example for each of the following communication principles:
• Communication can be intentional or unintentional.
• Communication is irreversible.
• It's impossible not to communicate.
• Communication is unrepeatable.
• Communication has a content and a relational dimension.

RELATIONSHIP ANALYSIS (For these questions I have uploaded the chapter on relationship analysis)
1. Analyze the relationship between two of the main characters. Here are some questions to get you started. Feel free to use any theories and concepts from the course to shape your analysis and to develop the topics in whatever order makes sense to you.
2. Analyze the development of the relationship. What brings them together? What strengthens their relationship and causes it to grow? What threatens it? Do any of the stages of relational development apply?
3. How do perceptions affect the relationship? For example, do these two main characters have accurate perceptions of one another? Do they have shared perceptions of others? How might their perceptions or attributions be distorted?
4. How do the messages they give one another affect their relationship's development?
5. Analyze the distribution of power/control evident in the relationship. Is it a complementary, symmetrical, or parallel relationship? Explain why you see it this way.
6. What threatens their relationship? Analyze one of the character's relational transgression and repair.
7. What are the factors that maintain the relationship(s)? For example, what needs are being satisfied by their relationship that make it worthwhile? Why do you think their relationship grows and continues?

CONFLICT ANALYSIS
1. Choose another relationship depicted in the movie, one in which there is some type of conflict.
2. Describe the relationship and any relevant background on it.
3. Describe the conflict. What it is about? What leads to the conflict? Does it escalate or does it diminish? How/why?
4. What conflict styles do the individuals use (non-assertive/passive behaviour, direct aggression, passive aggression, indirect communication, assertion)? Is it destructive? Do these characters deal with the conflict in a constructive manner?
5. Do they resolve their conflict? If so, how? If not, why not? And with what consequences . . . for the individuals themselves? For their relationship? For other people?
