Felicity An American Girl Adventure Video Guide

Created by
Holly Phillip
This is a video guide to accompany the movie "Felicity An American Girl Adventure". I show this movie towards the beginning of the American Revolution Unit. It is probably my students favorite movie all year. Fun Fact: The girl who plays young Felicity is now superstar Shailene Woodley from the Divergent Series and Fault in Our Stars. That makes it a little bit more interesting to the students as well since most are familiar with her as an actress. You could even make that a bonus question.

Mimetic Theory: Two Types of Psychological Needs

Why do we want the things we want? One psychological explanation is that we often actually don't know what we want, but instead imitate others. This phenomenon is known as mimetic theory. According to Girard, the French philosopher who originated the theory, most of our desires are metaphysical- as opposed to bodily needs - and we mimic them from people around us. And because of that, people inevitably end up wanting the same things, which creates rivalry, conflict, and scapegoating.
