Remember
the titans, prejudice and violence
Violence can and will affect every
single person. The effects on these people can be physical
harm. They could become injured or it
could even result in death. Also it could be mental harm. A person could had a
violent history and even though physically they are alright or healthy. Mentally they could be a disaster. Violence
can cause all kinds of harm. In the movie remember the titans violence is
shown in many cases. One of them is as soon as the football plays get to their
camp rooms with their camp partners Julius Campbell
and Gerry bertier get into a fight over a poster on the wall. Now they really don’t not like each other. They stay away for quite some time because of
this violent act. Also when the team
gets back into their town Pete gets into a fight at school because he was
talking to a white man’s girlfriend. They start to fight but then a lot of others
fight black verse white until Campbell and bertier break it up. Even
though Gerry is white the other white men dislike him because he stands up for
the blacks this lost him some so called friends.
Prejudice is an opinion against
a certain group of people normally because of their race. When you are prejudice against some one they
will always remember. It will tear them up and it will cause
violence. Even if
the two sides become friends they are always weary of the prejudice that was
once there. When the guys are out on town sunshine wants
to take Pete and a couple others into a bar. When they get in there the owner says it’s
full when clearly it’s not. Pete gets
angry at sunshine and blames him this could be because of the prejudice by
whites to blacks. Also when they are just walking down the
street bertier says they and is talking about his friends that are black but
they were in front of him. Campbell takes it as not they in front of them but
they as in the blacks this is also because whites were prejudice. They will always remember. Even if it becomes less it will always be
in their head the opinions and violence that was committed against them.
To me I think that prejudice
will lead to violence more often than the other way around. You can be violent
but not prejudice. Most people become
violent when they are angry and people are always angry for different reasons
so violence won’t cause you to be prejudice most of the time. But if you are prejudice then you do not
like this group of people. And you are
angry because that group of people did something you do not like so then you
might become violent. In the case at
camp rite away when Campbell and bertier get into a fight it was because
bertier may have been prejudice against Campbell and the poster set him off
making him violent. He wasn’t violent and then became prejudice he was already
prejudice. The same argument is applied when boone has a brick thrown through
his window. They did this because they were prejudice against him not because
they were violent then because prejudice.
