英语本科论文ananilysisofimpactonpersonalityformationthroughgoodwillhunting

摘要

笔者通过观看美国电影《心灵捕手》认识到一个人的经历对性格形成具有决定性作用，性格是一个人的生活经历的反映，带有经历的烙印。

同时笔者意识到童年经历的重要性，以及性格缺陷给人的生活和社会交往带来巨大阻碍。

本文首先从电影主人公威尔入手，分析他的经历、性格以及他的性格在其生活中的影响作用。

接着文章对性格做一个总体介绍，包括性格的概念、特征、类型以及形成和发展，其中重点介绍性格的形成因素，包括遗传因素和环境因素两大方面。

然后结合儿童时期的性格发展和威尔的经历分析威尔是如何形成自卑、性情暴戾以及防御性强等这些特定性格的。

最后对文章做总体概括，得出结论，指明论文研究的意义。

本文通过分析研究证明一个人的经历对性格的形成具有关键作用，威尔的性格与其童年的悲惨经历有着密不可分的关系，而这种经历造成的性格缺陷也给威尔的生活造成了很大困扰。

因此，该文通过研究儿童性格的发展以及性格形成的影响因素，呼吁家长关心爱护儿童，关注他们的成长，为培养健全的人格奠定基础，以便更好地与人交往、融入社会。
