The film that I selected for this paper is Bend It like Beckham and I will describe the family that it focuses on. Furthermore, I will provide a detailed assessment of the family’s culture and ethnic traits as well as how they influence various aspects of their life. Finally, the family’s development levels are also discussed extensively.

Personality tests can tell a counselor and individual a lot about what they are going through in life, sometimes with no prior knowledge, and can often help guide a person through making personal choices for themselves in the future.
