Self-Determination:
An example of self-determination in the movie The Other Sister, was when Carla told her mother that she wanted to get an apartment and live on her own. Her mother once again couldn't look past Carla's disability and told Carla that she didn't think she was capable of living by herself. Eventually her mother allows Carla to prove herself and her mother soon realizes that she was wrong about Carla. Carla could indeed live on her own and because of her self-determination she showed her family that she was more than capable of being independent.
Learned Helplessness:
An example of learned helplessness that was demonstrated within the film was when Carla says she feels like Daniel will never be good enough for her, in her mother's eyes. Even though Carla's mother sees how much Daniel and Carla truly love each other she still tells Carla that Danny will never be good enough for her, she disapproves of their relationship no matter what.
Person-Centered Planning:
Carla demonstrates person-centered planning by always having a positive attitude and strive to reach her goals. She is constantly thinking of the next step that she is going to take in life whether it be getting married or continuing her education to be able to get a job someday. Carla never allows her disability to define who she is as a person.
