Maintenance behavior: definitions, functions, and organizational applications

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.

Avoidance

Avoidance in the movie "Furry Vengeance" is seen at the point as Dan Sanders was trying to wage a war against the animals. The animals ganged up led by an incredibly smart raccoon who led the team of bears, beavers, fox, ravens, etc. Dan Sanders had experienced quite a lot of horror in the hands of the animals. Therefore, he was trying to avoid them in the hope that by avoiding this issue, he would be able to succeed in completing the project in peace without the interference of the animals. However, this was not to be the case. His avoidance led the animals to come to disrupt his activities in his own homestead where he was making plans to continue with the project.
