He also told them not to say the “N” word because it was disrespectful and if they said it around other people it was making its seem alright for there people to call them the “N” word witch is wrong. To be respectful they had to stop fighting and because better players so they could win games. Couch Carter made them wear ties and suit jackets to the games so they looked like a team. Another thing Coach Carter wanted high Expectations for the boys so he made them sign a contract and if they didn’t do what was on the contract they couldn’t play or train in the gym until they for filled the contract. Couch Carter pushed the boys to be there best and to be the best they had to learn to run a whole game so carter made them to running all the time.
These groups were determined to prevent integration at all costs. In 1957 the principal of Little Rock High School was getting death threats and threats to bomb the school. Yet another cause was that Eisenhower had little faith in the measures to support the Black community in the south because a change in heart was required and you can not enforce that. He felt that enforcing these laws may make matters even worse. When Eisenhower finally did something and sent the 1,000 paratroopers, a lot of the people in America were extremely annoyed, the west and north were angry that it didn't happen sooner and the south were angry that it happened at all, and disowned Eisenhower as a southerner.
I would need an additional document from a white family to see how they felt about unifying with the blacks. In King’s Philosophy violence never solves anything. King felt that by taking part in nonviolent acts, such as sit-ins and marches, job opportunities would become more open to the black community (Doc 6). In his statement, “Violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder the murder,” he is saying that through violence you will never solve the issue you will only add on to it (Doc 8). King feels this way because when black people rebelled against the whites it only fueled more violence to ensue.
Their goal was to abolish slavery completely and prevent it from harming many people. By sacrificing their lives into the war, this shows how devoted they are to putting an end to slavery even though the Reconstruction failed. The filmmakers’ goals when making this movie were to show how slavery was the reason why the Civil War was being fought. Throughout the movie, the African American soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry underwent harsh training as well as being treated unequally. They were used for manual labor and nothing else until Robert Gould Shaw stepped up for the soldiers to have them fight in the war.
Yakin uses techniques such as camera angles, dialogue, music, and relationships to create a strong emotional tie between the viewers and the film. As the film begins, there is clear hatred between the white and black members of the team. There are stereotypes in every angle and both teams have preconceived ideas about the opposite race. When conflict arises, and Coach Yoast is forced to step down from coaching, the white players say that they won’t “play with any of those black animals.” There are many ways that racism is exemplified throughout the movie. One of the earliest examples is when Ray and Petey are getting to know each other as mandated by Coach Boone, and Ray is asking Petey questions.
Because the boys are all adjusted to separation of color, the whites sit with the whites, while the blacks sit with the blacks. Louie, the most courageous of all guys sat at the black table to break the new found tradition. Because he was not wanted at the black table, he received glares from almost all of the blacks except for Rev. Although the whites looked at him and called him a trader, he didn’t care. Julian, the black captain of the team questioned Louie’s action.
These three components work together to construct both positive and negative attitudes and also change existing attitudes. For example; at the beginning of the film there was no racial mixing – the blacks and whites were completely separate until the merger of the two schools. In consequence of the merger the African American students and their families were subject to protests, discrimination and snide comments such as “your people” and “black animals”. This situation in particular showed the negative attitudes and superiority held/formed towards the black people, even so as the film proceeded both the white and black football players learnt to work together and gradually built friendships, therefore changing their attitudes towards each other from negative to positive. Discrimination is shown in many forms throughout this film.
The bus had become overfilled. The bus driver was following segregation rules and asked the blacks to move because the bus had become over crowded and a white man was entering and did not have a seat. Rosa refused to give up her seat. Rosa had stated “When I made my decision, I knew I had the strength of my ancestors with me”. She was arrested for breaking laws on segregation called “Jim Crow Laws”.
A 500 word written reflection on observing a group in action, linking theory and practice and exploring the nature of conflict and its impact on group work. This assignment is to observe a group in action in the movie “Freedom Writers” to highlight the differences between the group dynamics linking theory and practice and exploring the nature of conflict and its impact on group work, by using Tuchman Theory Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Mourning and how there lives were change in the movie. In the group, the communication patterns were brutal, they can only sense the signal of communication when one racial group attack another racial group they will follow suit to defend their race. Each of them sits with their own ethnic group and gang members. None of the groups communicate with each other but only talk about one another and to show how hatred they are for each other group that is not in their group.
Also how a lot of white people are claiming they are a subject of reverse racism. Then the author goes on to explain how racism is purely based on skin color and how you never see a white guy get pulled over to talking to a black women but when a black man is talking to a white women the police will often interfere.
