This is the story of Glenn Holland who is very obsessive towards music. He started
his career as a new music teacher. He faces some problems including students who
have low self-esteem. Mr Hollands wife, Iris unexpectedly gets pregnant and
delivers a healthy baby boy, Cole. Iris thought that there is something wrong with
Cole because he did not response when being called. They met with experts and
found out that Cole was deaf. Disappointed with the news, Mr Holland turned into a
cold father as Cole will never know about music that he was working on. Mr Holland
and Iris learned sign language to interact with their child. Later, Mr Holland fought
with Cole. Acknowledging his fault of ignoring Cole, he designs a concert that both
hearing and non hearing audience can enjoy. He retired after three decades and was
honoured by given the chance to lead the orchestra.

4. 4 ISSUE/PROBLEM REVEALED IN THE MOVIE The first issue revealed in the movie
is when Mr Holland, as a music teacher found that Miss Lang, always doing mistakes
when playing clarinet although she said that shes having enough practices. When
Mr Holland suggested having more time for her to personally practice, she was
really happy and willing to do it by herself. After a few times of individual practices,
Miss Lang turns into disappointment because she still cannot play the clarinet well.
She kept on thinking about negative side of herself. In another day of practices,
when Miss Lang feel like give up, Mr Holland told her to find her music soul, thinking
about sunset, which she said her father told her about her beautiful hair is like
sunset to motivate her. The second issue arises when Cole, Iris and Mr Hollands son
is diagnosed as deaf. Mr Holland was very disappointed because he thinks that Cole
will never understand and appreciate music as he did. Iris, with her strong mother
instinct, willingly learns the sign language as she realized that she cannot
understand her son at all. She wants to find a way to communicate and interact with
her son. However, Mr Holland resisted, due to his disappointment of Cole being
deaf. Then, it turns out that Iris is more understand what their son talking about in
his sign language rather than Mr Holland. Third issue is when Mr Holland was trying
to use new method of teaching music, by using Rock and Roll to attract his
students to love music. However, the high schools Principal and Vice Principal along
with the School Board refuse to accept his method of teaching. In that community at
that time, Rock and Roll is all about disappointment and breakdown, which will give
bad impact towards their youngsters. At last, Mr Holland succeeds in convincing his
Principal to accept his way of teaching using Rock and Roll music.

5. The last issue is when the School Board agreed to cut off budget of any arts
classes including Mr Holland music class. Mr Holland thought that the Principal,
having the bad intention towards him and happy the things happen according to his

wants. Both of Mr Holland and Principal was not in a good relationship since the first
year Mr Holland was teaching there, where the Principal was only the Vice Principal
at that time. They were always having different point of view and perceptions about
some issues.

6. HOW THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED ARE RELATED TO THE CHAPTERS OF

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR. As for the first issue, we identified that it is related to
self evaluation which consist three elements; Self-esteem, Self-Efficacy and Locus of
control. Here, we can see that Miss Lang evaluate herself in a negative way as she
only think about her weaknesses. Self-esteem is the extent to which people like,
respect and are satisfied with themselves. Some expert believes that self-esteem is
a persons rating of his or her success at social inclusion. In this movie, Mr Lang
seems to have low self-esteem as she did not satisfied with herself. She also said
that she did not have any succession in anything that she participated in. However,
the second element of self evaluation which is self-efficacy can be defined as a
persons belief that he or she has the ability, motivation, correct role perceptions
and favorable situation to complete a task successfully. To relate with the movie, Mr
Lang also has low self- efficacy since she did not belief herself that she has the
ability and motivation to complete the task which is playing clarinet well. Other than
that, locus of control also plays vital roles on how we evaluate ourselves. It can be
understood as a persons general beliefs about the amount of control he or she has
over personal life event. In this case, Mr Lang belief that she did not have any
control over his personal life event. Furthermore, this first issue can also be related
to the
