Nothing
In the movie “Boyz N the Hood,” the writer depicts the lives of two families showing how the families share certain experiences, circumstances and practices in common, while also differing in some areas. While looking at the lives of the two families in the movie one may have an opinion on both the internal and external factors that contributed to the functioning of the families concerned. The movie seemed to be a good representation of two families going through a struggle in a bad neighborhood, and after watching the movie I was able to acknowledge the different internal and external factors that I believed had the biggest contribution to the healthiness or unhealthiness of the two families.
Firstly, when looking at some of the internal factors that played contribution in the lives of the members in trey’s family I believe that the biggest impacting factors were the communication skills, parenting styles, and family boundaries that were present in his family. Trey’s family seemed to have good communication skills. His father was an educated man who was very well mature and spoke with intelligence. From an early age Trey was exposed to his father’s communication skills and from that point began to better his own communication skills while taking tips from his father, and imitating his helping hand. This led Trey to become a mature man himself who possessed strong communication skills, much more than most of his peers. He was one out of two of his friends within his group that was accepted to a college that was mentioned in the movie (Boyz N The Hood, 1991). Another impacting factor that I believe played a significant role in Trey’s family’s lives was the parenting styles that were present in his Father and Mother. From an early age his Mother made a huge decision which was to give Trey to his Father while he was young. This was a good decision at the time for Trey’s mother because she did not believe that she could support Trey as well as his Father could.
