Throughout modern history we have thought about how the world around us affects who we are and who we become. In turn, we focus on how we, as human beings, influence the world in which we live. Every day we are presented with a multitude of choices and we try to make the correct choice for many reasons. We do it for family, friends, obligations, our society, our world at large, and, if we're lucky, for ourselves. Doing the right thing isn't always easy, rising to the occasion, being courageous or dedicated, but that's how we learn our strengths. Those who lead good lives are those who allow their strengths to dominate their weaknesses. The King's Speech is a film based on the true events of Albert Frederick Arthur George, the Duke of York, who eventually became King George VI, King of England; and the exchange he had with an unlicensed speech-language pathologist. The film begins with Prince Albert, Duke of York, speaking at the closing of the 1925 British Empire exhibition at Wembley Stadium. His stammering speech is arduous for him, his wife and the thousands of listeners in the audience. His difficulty in public speaking drives him to seek various treatments which, when they fail, cause him to give up until his wife convinces him to see someone new. This leads to the introduction of Lionel Logue, an eccentric speech therapist who, after a rocky start with the prince, eventually develops a deep bond; helping the new king of England overcome his stammer and deliver an inspiring radio speech to a nation headed for war. Albert was born into the royal family in 1895 and was fourth in line to the throne at birth. Due to the time period and the nature of aristocratic families, his parents were excluded from his daily education. Suf... middle of paper... seems less imposing than his brother Edward. After his attempt to give a speech at Wembley Stadium and his wife's persuasion, he met with several doctors to solve his speech problem. At the time, attention was simply focused on the prince's ability to speak well, but looking deeper we discover that the speech disorders stem from a more psychological problem due to childhood trauma. In sociocultural theory, human development results from the interaction between people and their surrounding society. In Albert's case, the relationship with his strict and demanding father, the teasing he suffered from his brother and the loneliness of having no friends to talk about; along with physical and emotional neglect leave Albert with a feeling of insecurity, defective or inadequate. In turn, he finds it difficult to trust or care for others except his wife and children.
