This is one of Apple's 2018 Christmas animated shorts "Share Your Gifts" in which a woman
spends her holiday season writing stories with her do and Macbook pro but illustrates
dissatisfaction with her own work. It is because of these feelings that she locks away printed
copies of her stories in a small box and goes through lengths to ensure that no one is able to view
her stories when she is working on them in public as demonstrated in one scene which shows the
woman working on her Mac book at a coffee shop when an individual attempts to peek at her
work from outside of the shop's window. In response to this she hastily shuts her laptop ("Share
Your Gifts" 00:56 - 01:01). Some time after, the woman's dog opens a window resulting in all
her work to fly out the window. The woman frantically attempts to recovery her work in fear that
someone will come across it, but in doing so she only loses more of her work and causes a
greater commotion. In the end the paper she attempts to retrieve falls into the hand of an elderly
couple who read her work and love it. As she turns around she is surprised to see that everyone
has a piece of her work in hand and seem to respond positively to it.

This short film serves as the focus for my project as it is also the focus of my analysis for my
first essay. I will be observing this film through the lens of psychoanalysis and judging how well
it utilizes the greek triangle.

Parekh, Ranna. “What Are Anxiety Disorders?” Warning Signs of Mental Illness. American
Psychiatric Association, Jan. 2017. Retrieved from:

Differentiates normal anxiety and anxiety disorders by stating that anxiety is a normal reaction to
stress and can be beneficial in some situations. It can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and
pay attention. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness, and
involve excessive fear or anxiety. Anxiety disorders are the most common of mental disorders
and affect nearly 30 percent of adults at some point in their lives. Also, details the various types
of anxiety disorders, statistics on anxiety disorders, risks associated with anxiety, diagnosis and
treatment of anxiety disorders.

This text assists in establishing key differences between anxiety and anxiety disorder while
highlighting the differences between generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and
agoraphobia. This will help break the cultural paradigm surrounding anxiety disorder as just a
periodic feeling of anxiousness and helps me create a poster that can better inform individuals
who aren’t aware they suffer from anxiety disorder.

Richards, Thomas A. “What Is Social Anxiety?” What Is Social Anxiety?. The Social Anxiety
 Institute. Retrieved from: socialanxietyinstitute.org/what-is-social-anxiety.

This website defines social anxiety as the fear of being judged and evaluated negatively by other
people, leading to feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, self-consciousness, embarrassment,
humiliation, and depression. Pinpoints different symptoms for various types of social anxiety and
does especially well in describing how people live with social anxiety and the most effective
treatment options for social anxiety.

This website will not only provide a good definition for social anxiety, but will give me insight
as to what resources and help is required to treat social anxiety. This will make the poster that I
outlined a lot more credible and provides viewers with suggestions on how to find treatment
options.

This source states that psychology courses present unique opportunities to reduce mental illness
stigma. The literature highlights contact with people diagnosed with disorders as the best stigma
reduction technique. Simple stigma education, however, is also promising and can be
accomplished as part of course content coverage. Abnormal psychology students participated in
one of five conditions to gauge the impact of different stigma reduction techniques. Results for
overall stigma reduction indicate robust effect sizes for all interventions conditions, but no effect
for the control condition. The current study supports the use of stigma reduction techniques but
highlights the usefulness of stigma education as a simple but powerful tool for stigma reduction
within standard course curricula

This source describes stigmatisation and further shows that informing a general populous such as
a classroom can be an effective way to reduce stigma against mental illness such as anxiety
disorders.This will demonstrate that a poster campaign would be an effective way of reducing
stigma against anxiety disorder.

Tyson, Lois. “Psychoanalytic Criticism” Critical Theory Today. Second Edition. Routledge
Taylor and Francis Group. 1998. 11-50. Print.

This source goes over the different defence mechanisms established such as the main one that
will be focused on in this essay and advertisement--repression. While going into depth on how to
criticize literature from a psychoanalytical lens it also further breaks down how anxiety can
precipitate from various things such as a low self-esteem, unstable sense of self, fear of intimacy,
fear of abandonment, or fear of betrayal.

Using the information from this text we can stipulate that the woman featured in the
advertisement shows very clear signs of repression and anxiety in the beginning of the film. Thus
we can make the argument for her ego being at conflict with society which as a result manifests
anxiety disorder.
