Psy220 - The movie “District 9”’s main character was named Wikus Van De Merwe, who had quite an interesting few weeks for the time span of the film. Wikus’s job was to help move (evict) the alien creatures that he termed as “Prawns” from a place called District 9. He worked for a company called Multi-National United. Wikus was the desk job type of person who could communicate and be punctual with his work, but was not the best for getting his hands dirty. Being in Johannesburg, South Africa helps the focus of how things start off because being a non-African Caucasian who speaks English, doesn’t help his starting point of where he stands. For the first part of the film introducing Wikus and guiding the audience to the plot, his life dealt with having a wife and being promoted at work with the position of being in charge of a major operation; in which that changed his traits as the movie progressed.

Psy230 - Wikus’s traits were mainly measured within extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. I feel based on the film his strong point was being conscientious because of his job, most of his actions were guided from and because of his work. He expressed many variations of having a strong focus, being very trusted, being active, and having a positive future.
Psy 230 - A main focus in the movie where his character changed was when he find out what his company was actually doing with the alien creatures and when he started turning into one of them from being infected. Once he started mutating and people found out, he became the most wanted valuable living thing worldwide. Survival at this point and the idea of changing his body along with getting back with his wife were his only thoughts. He had to change who he was to maintain staying alive. Now is where his anxiety and emotions started to control him.
