Doug isn’t sure he should let his son watch the movie Kick-Ass, which is about a kid who is a superhero. The film depicts quite a bit of violence and caused controversy when released. Use social cognitive learning theory to argue whether Doug should be worried or not. Be sure to include all four processes.
What will be an ideal response?
There could be an argument presented for either direction, based on the support provided as we don’t know much about the son. It is essential, however, that the response include all four processes--attention, retention, reproduction, motivation--and that it is emphasized that the son’s attention will be gained by the colorful costumes, sound effects, and action scenes.
