Explanation / Answer

Note: This response is in UK English, please paste the response to MS Word and you should be able to spot discrepancies easily. You may elaborate the answer based on personal views or your classwork if necessary. I recommend that you add to the response by talking about the kind of personality traits that you are partial towards, in social situations. Also, talk about how these traits differ from how you are at home.

(Answer) The film breakfast club depicts Ally Sheedy’s character as an emo, Judd Nelson as the “bad boy”, Molly Ringwald as the “prissy popular girl” and so on. When individuals are exposed to a social environment, they tend to cling to personality traits that may not necessarily be their own. These are traits that they adopt because they feel that by being a certain way, they may receive the type of recognition they desire. For instance, the popular girl is always foppish and prim because she wants to be known as the pretty and perfect popular girl. These high school stereotypes differ from the workplace only in the types of masks and not generally the mask itself.

For instance, the workplace would have a generic nonchalant worker, the ingratiating one, the stickler for the rules, the one who gets frazzled easily etc. All of these façades are generally put on because the individual would want to establish a certain type of image. This image is necessary to gain the kind of recognition they desire. In accordance with this, there are also individuals who exhibit apathy to such a stratum. They are mostly the people who, adhere to their individual personalities because they desire to come across as someone who doesn’t care about social groups.

Dissociative Identity Disorder may be similar in a way of adopting different personalities. However, it is very dissimilar because one forgets the true self and embodies an entirely different individual.
