Good Will Hunting
1) Will hunting was an orphan. As a child he was moved from foster house to foster house and during this time he didn’t receive proper moral development. He was alone and probably acted out by breaking things, hurting other kids and talking back but this got him punished. In the movie he explains that he would get abused by his foster parents, he would get cigarette buds put out on his skin and probably got a lot of verbal abuse. This could’ve resulted in his relationship issues and his need to feel cared for. Sean outlined Wills problem by coming to the conclusion that the reason he hangs out with the friends he does is because they care for him and they have his back. As a child he felt like he didn’t have that therefore he’s filling the need now. He broke up with his girlfriend that loved him very much because of the traumatic events that have happened in his childhood. As a child being moved from house to house not having one family messes up their intellectual development. As soon as he felt comfortable in his home and felt that he was happy in this new home he was pulled away and brought into an entire new atmosphere. This caused Will to push people away after time to avoid them leaving him and leaving him hurt. He leaves before they can, hence why he left Skylar. Lawrence Kohlberg’s 3 perspectives on life relates to Will and how at each stage something affected the development. Stage 1 (pre-conventional) obedience and punishment.

Stage 2 elaborates on the fact that right behavior is in your own best interest. Will never got that clue and still acts under his Ids control. The scene in the movie where he sees the man who used to torment him in preschool and decides to approach him, this leads Will to punching him in the face and turning it into a
