Development Theory Development theory refers to a collective vision or conglomerate of theories that explain how desirable change in a society is achieved. The development theories draw on several social science approaches and disciplines. Development theory provides a platform for exploring and thinking about human development, learning and growth. The theories also provide a framework for understanding what motivates human behaviors and thoughts (Nederveen, 2010).

Summary of the Movie The movie starts with an elderly Daisy who is bedridden in a hospital in New Orleans. Daisy asks her daughter to read the diary of Benjamin Button. The reading of the diary introduces the audience to the life of Benjamin Button who was born with a physical and appearance malady that is associated with old men. His father abandoned him after his mother died during delivery. Benjamin’s father left him at a nursing home. At the nursing home, Mr. Weathers and Queenie find the baby. Queenie decides to care for the baby as her own child. Seven years after being born, Benjamin learns to walk. After a short while, he is forced to use crutches in order to move around. He met Daisy, a six-year-old girl, whose mother lived at the nursing home. He gained employment on a tugboat. He also meets his father though his father does not reveal his identity to him. Benjamin works with the crew of the tugboat and they even engage themselves in the Second World War, leading to the explosion of a German submarine. As Benjamin grows old, he is physically transformed reversely. Instead of aging as he grows older, Benjamin becomes a teenager and infant. At the end of the movie, social workers contact Daisy and tell her that they found Benjamin, a preteen, living in a condemned building. The social workers decided to contact Daisy because they found her name on Benjamin’s dairy. The social workers are bewildered by the physical and mental state of Benjamin to the extent that they say that he has dementia. Daisy decides to take care of Benjamin, who has been placed in a nursing home. Benjamin dies in the arms of Daisy as an infant aged 84 years.
