Elwell called Johnny Ramirez a savage, though she might have been joking around it could be taken very offensive in the Hispanic community. The emotions that people might have felt were that they were offended, going to the movies and watching a film that tells you that you’re not good enough. At the end of the film when Mr. Ramirez says he’s going back with his people, he’s basically saying that he did not belong with white people. This ideology that this film brought about can make a young Hispanic man such as myself come to the idea that no matter how strong I get, a white man will always be stronger. This film can have a power impact on a Hispanic’s judgment not only of himself but also of the white society.

A Lesson Before Dying is a story based on race and the stance of civilization. Jefferson was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and because of his color and illiterateness, he was accused for murder and sentenced for execution. When placed in a courthouse where the entire jury is white, racism is going to be in effect, especially in this era of time. Racism is a huge conflict throughout the entire novel. Jefferson is called a “hog” by his own lawyer in court.
When the Hater Meets the Hated- Why is Tom Robinson Guilty? One may be punished for something he or she never did depending on the circumstances in their community. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee shows in Maycomb County, a society being controlled by racism, Tom Robinson is punished for assaulting Mayella Ewell even though he is the victim. If the majority of the inhabitants of a community are racist, the racist social values influence everything that takes place in the courts of the community. Thus the racist social values of Maycomb County are responsible for the failure of Atticus Finch’s defense for Tom Robinson.
However there is a small chance that there are people who are stupid or impressionable enough, that they should go act out a scene from these films, and these people are a small minority that don’t make any statistical difference. The issue is there are people out there that believe violent films provoke and are the cause to violence in our society, but by then end of this speech, they will be re-thinking their theory. * * Violence is a large topic. There so many un-answered questions on how to stop or reduce the amount of viciousness in our society. But blaming violent films isn’t the answer, because there is no proof the repeated exposure to cinematic horrors has more impact than, for example, mental illness, long-term unemployment and poverty, alienation, alcohol and drugs, mob behaviour or simply frustration and anger at the state of the world.
If he had an impartial jury, he would have been a free man. However, none of the jurors believed that Tom was telling the truth. They were raised to hate all black people. White people have been hurting and killing black people for centuries because of hatred. Therefore, the black community in Maycomb was crippled with fear.
When Tom was accused of rape, this was the most racist point in the book to me. The people of Maycomb automatically labeled him as guilty. If I were in his position I would have wanted to fight back. Atticus Finch, a local lawyer and one of the main characters, is appointed as Tom’s lawyer. He is almost completely shunned from the town because he is trying to help a black man accused of rape.

This was especially the case for Germany as she was to reap the blame for the First World War. The peace treaties took place soon after the final bloodbath of WW1, emotions would have been raging which would have tainted some of the decisions made, and soldiers would have retired back to their homes and would have been reluctant to want to be involved in border shifting and disputes. The Allied countries wanted Germany to concur to a harsh settlement but the United States brought diplomacy into the situation. The treaties were not just and reasonable but without the United States, Germany would have been handed a much harsher punishment. The injustice of the settlement unintentionally gave birth to long term problems, including key events for the lead up to the Second World War.
This child may want to watch a movie like the film Employee of the Month which happens to be rated PG13. Having read the movie rating, this caring and concerned parent would not allow their child to view this film. Another argument as to why movie ratings shouldn’t be banned is that they warn the parent or viewer of the level of offensive content in the movie. The last reason as to why movie ratings shouldn’t be abandoned is that there is no excuse for parents to complain to places that sell movie like block buster and wall mart about the content of the movie. This is because ratings are displayed boldly on both the entire home entertainment package and the videocassettes and DVDs themselves.
