Questions: After viewing The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel please reflect on the paper about stereotypes. Also include in this reflection your thoughts and ideas about what surprised you about the characters.
Choose 1 character and discuss how the people around her/him (family, friends, and acquaintances) treated her/him.
Give examples of positive and negative stereotypes, compassionate stereotypes, and incidences of ageism that you noticed in the film. Think about how the environment affected them; refer to the environmental press. How was their physical health and well-being? Their mental health? According to Erickson, how are they doing? Assess their basic cognitive functioning. What role do social networks play? Describe that character's relationship to intimacy and sexuality. Overall what is your impression of that character?
Use specific examples to make your case (minimum five examples). Discuss also what surprised you about the character. How did the character evolve over the course of the film? What do you think caused the character to change? If you were the social worker or case manager what would you have done to help the character?
Please organize the paper as follows:
In the first paragraph introduce the character and what made you choose that person (why this character and not another?).
In the next few paragraphs discuss the character and describe specific occurrences of stereotypes, environmental press, etc. (listed above) and make sure you are specific!
Next, discuss how the character evolved over the course of the film and what impacted that evolution.
Then describe what surprised you about that character and reflect on how your own attitude or beliefs were impacted. Did the way that this character was treated change the way you think about an older person?
Finally describe your thoughts and feelings about what you saw and how this will affect the way you work with older adults.
