The following year Sandra's career had been jump-started when she was cast last minute as replacement for Lori Petty in Sylvester Stallone's hit "Demolition Man." Although her role was essentially limited, her performance won the attention of the film's producer (Joel Silver), who in turn recommended her be casted in his action film "Bus-with a-Bomb." In casting Bullock against actor Keanu Reeves, it was then that she rightfully took her place in movie history as part of one of the most successful action films ever made according to critics.

Neo-Analytic Perspective

In the field of Psychology where personality is concerned, the approach that deals most with an individual’s sense of self is called the Neo-Analytic Approach. Alfred Alder was a theorist who strongly believed it was this crucial approach to Psychology which best exemplifies both the dynamic and individualistic motivators of individuals and the significance of each person's 'role 'among society. One of the notions recognized by Adler for example, is his concept of "striving for superiority.” According to Adler 's ideology, Sandra has over the duration of her career developed an diverse and yet wholesome complex. When we as the general public see celebrities we often times question if they are in deed who they seem to be at 'face value.' Sandra is exactly this. Another one of Adler's theories (one of several sub-categories) is the ideology of the collective unconscious. Components of the collective unconscious include symbolic emotions that all individuals equally contribute. For example, applied to this dynamic of the theory, Sandra often times portrays her feminine self as dominating (a steriotypical masculine trait) where in certain celebrity this trait is not always recognized as being feminine and powerful in a dainty manner so to speak. Since her up-bringing in Germany, Sandra has broken barriers and through her hard work and perserverance has landed herself countless movie roles where she has been the strong leading role. Outside of the acting realm Sandra has taken on role of entrepenour; another steriotypical masculine trait. Owner of her production company "Fortis Films," executive producer of "The Lopez Show," and owner of Austin, Texas resturaunt "Bess Bistro," and bakery "Walton's Fancy and Staple," Sandy has staked her claim. This outward agressiveness in her acting and company management has placed her on an equal playing field as the saying states. What any man can do, Sandy can do. Another one of Alder's complexes and traits that Adler might say that because Sandra has acted oppositely with has been the birth of her sister. It is this recognition of behaivor for Sandra that she was able to balance the conflicting aspects of her lif.e From adolescent, Sandra went against the odds and removed herself from the stage of Psychosocial development in which adolescents are expected to experiment with different gender roles in attempts to integrate their personal and specific identities onto siblings and family members conjoined. With a heart of gold Sandra has successfully managed to integrate feminine characterisitcs with masculine; all while striving to remain true to her self and her opt for uniqueness in the entertainment industry. ==**Trait and Skill Perspective** The trait approach to Personality Psychology uses speficif adjectives to scale as well as describe individuals. To best assess the personality of Sandra Bullock, the "Big Five" approach to personality is the most accurate. Characteristics include both introversion and extroversion. It is these two sub-traits which can easily be measured by Sandra. According to this ideology, Sandra would be considered an extrovert. Sandra is notorious for being anything but quiet and rather then being found amongst smaller crowds, on any given day she is surrounded by hoards of friends, fans and family. On one scale Sandy would be classified as more prone to score high on realism. Realistic and wholesome, she seems to accept that her popularity has been a result of her hard work and perserverance; lucky to be regognized at all. On the second scale she would rank highly on the personal sanction. Although she seems to care for those closest to her, she is also very much so involved in anything she owns or is associated with (her various companies and resturaunts specifically). == ==Also among the traits to the "Big Five,"are agreeableness, conscientiousness and neuroticism. Of these traist specifically, Sandra would be considered highly introverted because of her wholesome, gentle side often shown throughout her television appearances, various films and guest appearances. Ranking high on agreeableness based off her flexible and understanding personality, Sandra has always been accreditted with the recognition of her friendly persona and kind words to those she works with. How Sandra is portrayed in film is close to her 'normal,' everyday life. It is only shown in her action roles her neurotic personality because it is then that she demonstrates un-cordination, stress and loss of self. ==
