3. Read carefully:
"The flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane in another part of the world"... Chinese proverb.
You cannot change someone without destroying what they were.
Taking into account that: The butterfly effect, immersed in chaos theory, refers to the idea that by changing a few
initial conditions of a chaotic system, no matter how minimal the variation; can cause the system to evolve in
completely different forms. In other words, a small initial disturbance, when amplified, generates an effect
considerably large in the short or medium term.
Chaos theory is based on mathematics, physics, and other sciences that study dynamic systems.
sensitive to variations in initial conditions; small changes in these conditions can change
drastically the future behavior, complicating the predictions that can be made in the long term.
Explain according to the context of the movie and your own interpretation:

2. What relation did the diaries have with time travel?
In his childhood, there are several events that mark his life in one way or another. From the drawing he made

for him, but for his friends and his mother.

they suggest the possibility of travel between realities or parallel universes.
5. Interpret the content of the movie:
According to the movie, the experiences of Evan Treborn and his friends in their childhood condition their future. From psychology,
What actions provoke a completely different behavior in adults? Explain your answer.
In Tommy's actions, like preventing Mrs. Helpton and her baby from dying due to the explosion of the
Email completely changed the course of his life, turning him into an exemplary man, dedicated and very
religious. In Lenny, not witnessing the explosion and the death of Evan's dog led him to become

5. Conclusions:
This movie observes the impact of raising children on their adult behavior, if a community is
created under the same economic, cultural, religious conditions, etc.; could we have a society in which
Will all individuals act in the same way and make the same decisions?
It would not be possible, because there are external factors completely unrelated to us that intervene in our
future like genetics. Although Evan was raised by his mother in a home of love, support, and understanding
his life was determined by an external factor to them; his father's illness inherited by Evan. If this
If she had not suffered from the illness, the course of traumatic events in her childhood would have been different.
