The first model of generativity is motivational sources which consists of culture and desire, both of which Juno has displayed. (1) Juno desires a better life for her son which is why she chose to give her baby up for adoption. Juno admits that she’s “in high school and [she] is ill-equipped” to raise a baby. The reason why this shows motivational sources of generativity is because Juno knows that in her culture it is not acceptable to raise a baby at sixteen and that giving the child up for adoption will likely give the baby a better life. (2) After all of the events throughout the movie, Juno also showed a desire to make the people around her happy. This is evident at the end of the movie because giving her baby up for adoption was hard…show more content… It is evident from these two examples that Juno does show motivational sources of generativity. The second model is cognitions and plans which is involves concern, belief and commitment. (3) Juno had originally planned on getting an abortion, but after hearing information from Su-Chin, Juno then begins to believe against abortion. Juno begins to have belief in the species and that she should “have this baby and give it to someone who needs it!” that way she is not taking away a life while following what her culture accepts. This is a great example of generativity because not only is Juno showing she has cognitions, but she is also shows she has motivations to do good things. (4) Another example of Juno showing cognitions and plans is by deciding to put her baby up for adoption. Juno commits to carrying the baby to full term knowing its not going to be a pleasant experience. This shows generativity because Juno is willing to still carry the baby “despite the fact [she is] in a fat suit [she] cannot take off. Despite the fact everyone talks about [her] behind [her] back”. She is willing to be uncomfortable
