dc.description.abstractThis paper examines some parenting styles and the influence of these on children through the lenses of the Nigerian movie industry, and an explanation for negligence in parenting. Parenting, irrespective of the number of people involved, is a role which is diversely interpreted globally. Due to the different meanings ascribed to this concept, children from some families in society have, to a large extent, become perpetrators of societal menace. This can be traced to the parenting styles of these deviants’ parents, since each person in society is a product of a parenting style in the family. It is against this backdrop, that Funke Akindele’s A Tribe Called Judah was critically analysed. Contextually, some parenting styles, such as the authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles, which have great impacts on children’s future, were portrayed and theoretically, semiotics was employed as tool for critical analyses. Hence, this study submits that the definition of parenting is not restricted to birthing or procreation but it includes sacrifice, firmness, tolerance, understanding and the ability to counsel and manage challenges. Thus, using the movie as a tool, Funke Akindele’s movie mitigates crime and advocates good parenting in society.
