1.1 Universal Relevance of the Movie

The other reason for the choice of this movie is that it leads to better character building. The movie exposes the conflicts in the human character. It makes us reflect on the conflict within ourselves as well. Just like Maria many an aspiring lecturer would have wondered whether they have chosen the right profession and whether they have a real calling for the profession. Many possible conflicts go on within us when we are going to take a step that would shape and colour our whole life. It may be about choosing a profession or choosing a spouse or making any other decision that would have a lifelong impact on us. Maria would have experienced major conflicts of her own when she chose to join a convent and be trained as a nun.
In addition to the above this paper would also investigate the issue of love. Maria managed to reform the children of the household through love and compassion. This writer feels that the sentiments of love is very relevant to lecturers and teachers who deal with students.
