Behavioral analysis of human-animal conflict in Furry Vengeance

Maintenance Behavior

This report is based on the movie 'Furry Vengeance'. The movie concerns the building of a new habitat for human beings which is the task undertaken by a young real estate developer by the name Dan Sanders, who had convinced his wife and family to relocate to the project site. Dan's family was not happy about the move since it meant leaving their lives behind to come to live to this new remote place. The construction meant destroying the forests and the ecosystem. The angry animals in the forest ganged up to stop this destruction from happening. The animals are led by a clever raccoon to teach the developer a lesson about the consequences of man's encroachment and destruction to nature. In the end, the movie ends by the human beings deciding to build their homes away from the forest and building a conservatory around the forest. The movie has a mix of behaviors which are exhibited both by the animals and the human beings.

Positivity

One of the positive behaviors that are seen is that of positivity. Positivity refers to the state of something or someone exhibiting a positive feeling. This is seen towards the end of the movie whereby the animals and the human beings agree to co-exist. The human beings, led by Dan Sanders, agree to leave the project and to build a conservatory. Sander's boss, Neal Lyman also came to the project site and after feeling the wrath of the retaliation of the animals, decided to abandon the project for later days. The project had led Sander's family to think of him as mad at some point and that he was taking the project extremely seriously than the way he was taking care of his family. When Dan decides to leave the project and apologizes to his family, there is a feeling of positivity that is exhibited as they kiss and make up and as the animals cheer them on.

Assurance

Assurance also comes at the end of the movie when Dan Sanders apologizes to his family for making them be second to him and for making them less valued. Dan assures his son, wife and daughter that he loves them very much and that he is willing to do everything to protect them and to be with them always.

Destructive conflict

Dan Sanders had his family move to the woods against their will. This led to a huge conflict between him and his son. This conflict was because his son felt that his dad had not put his interests in mind since he had to move from his school as well as to leave his friends behind. The father on the other hand, was using destructive conflict to force the son to see that there is nothing he (the son) can do about the situation at hand.
