Shadow Of Hate Analysis
Will, Sick, anger, and ashamed are the perfect three words to describe the many thoughts and feelings that rush through your head while watching the film Shadow of Hate. For I was truly disgusted when learning about the shameful acts of discrimination and hate crimes that were performed on certain cultural groups. In fact, this video was the first exposer to the crucial inhuman treatment of others. For throughout my high school education I was taught about the unequal treatment of others for different race and religion beliefs, but I was never exposed to the harsh punishments each cultural or religion faced, such as the unequal treatment of the Mexican American burial to the harsh living conditions to Asian Americans. I also thought it was

    The effect that was made in the students facing these problems in their schools was very terrifying, some of them were in a point of being embarrassed of their heritage. They were embarrassed of being Mexican Americans, and this was something that had to be changed. The rise up of the Chicano students to demand their district officials for equal education rights in their school, was a movement that made the Chicano voice strong not only at East LA but all over the country. This is one point everyone should be able to understand, the video gives us the struggles Mexican Americans were facing at the time, and how they became together to overcome this issue is an example of unity something that we need to do now a days to become stronger and make our voices heard as a…

    This past weekend a close friend of mine encouraged me to go see the documentary 9500 Liberty that was playing on Friday. Honestly I only went to be nice to my friend however as I sat and watched the documentary I quickly became very engaged. The film was about a county in Virginia which was trying to implement laws which negatively affected the steadily increasing Latino community in the area. This documentary was fantastically done and was very emotionally gripping. I was really upset because of the racist comments that were said by the Caucasian residents. It became a very ugly battle which surpassed the original purpose of the whole issue.Throughout the movie I was constantly becoming more and more angry at the behavior of the opposing…

    The amount of violence and racism in at the college really surprised me and made me disgusted. Although there is still some discrimination in the world it was a shock of how much the movie showed the social stereotypes of races. An example of this would be the relationship of the cops with the African Americans. In the police's eyes the whites never do anything wrong and that the black people…

    In my opinion, I though the film was powerful and overwhelming at times. As, the public figures and political activists gave a lot of information. Analyzing the film, you see how America’s complex prison system affects people of color. It is shocking. Because despite living in a country that gives liberty to all…

    Often when racial inequality and discrimination is being discussed, we get to think of terms such as “white privilege” and American history with the Civil Rights Act in 1964. But we think of it, mainly as history. And that, according to Tim Wise, an anti-racism activist and American writer, is the biggest self-deception of the modern American world. Throughout an article posted on his own webpage, concerning school shootings, Tim Wise discusses the general American attitude towards this relatively new phenomenon in American society. With the use of especially pathos Wise argues that the most concerning thing about these events is how society is handling them afterwards. The problem is, according to Wise, that white people tell themselves ‘white lies’, and therefore never think that such actions could be taking place in their communities. He claims that there’s a reason why this happens in the outwardly ordinary societies. It’s because the people, trying to maintain at certain surface of innocence, refuse to see the signs of trouble, even when it’s going on before their very eyes.…

    The documentary “Race and Terror”, by VICE news documents the events that happened during the Charlottesville rallies, and the protestors’ views on the results of the protest. Throughout the film, Vice news portrayed obedience, violence, and authority shown by white nationalist, alt-righters, and neo-nazis in order to explore human identities. The documentary relates to the first two units that we have learned in our psychology course, more specifically prejudice, empathy gap, morality, and cognitive dissonance. Throughout the documentary, authority is seen differently from both sides.…

    Correctional nurses are confronted daily with a struggle against a tidal wave of organizational culture convinced that we should not be caring ‘too much’ for our patients. Caring for murderers, rapists, and criminals takes true grit and a more serious definition than a superficial application of a warm positive emotional response or empathetic word. We are the ‘Tough Love’ folks on the nursing caring…

    The film, “The Most Hated Family in America,” was a very interesting and eye opening film about freedom of speech, interpretation, and consequences of life choices. Before watching this I had no idea that such a family even existed, but after watching it I am somewhat ashamed of what they are doing and feel very bad for the members of their family and the people surrounding them.…

    In this paper, I will state my reaction on two videos, Eye of the Storm and A Class Divided. These videos are inspired from Jane Elliott, a third grade teacher, who tested a group of her students in teaching them about discrimination. I definitely agree with Elliott in her process of teaching people the importance of ethnicity and discrimination.…

    Wax Museum Experience

    As I walked through the Blacks in Wax Museum I was both upset and happy by what I saw. Going into the slave ship and seeing the slaves being branded like livestock and shackled one on top of the other really brought to life the struggle that the slaves had to endure. I don’t understand how the white people can think of the slaves as less than human, and at the same time want to rape the women. The Lynching Exhibit opened my eyes to how cruel people can really be. What hit home was the story of pregnant Mary Turner and her husband. They hung both she and her husband and proceeded to cut off his genitalia. When they returned and found that Mary’s baby was not dead they cut it out of her stomach. They then took two cats that were feeding on the…

    It made me angry that supporters for sexual assault victims got themselves terminated from some of the universities. I was stunned in the first minute of the movie when one of the victims reported that she and another student were assaulted their freshmen year before the classes even had started. I am glad though that this documentary shows the improper processes that victims had to go through when they reported the rapes. Rutgers makes me feel safe and supported if something tragic like this would have happened to me. I am dismayed that the administration of some universities blamed their victims or supported the rapists by saying, “he is going through a rough time” or “why didn’t you stop him?” I was also surprised by the statistics of reported cases that were never followed up or brought to justice and how much the universities protected the athlete…

    I learned many new things from this video. I learned that many people died in the black’s non-violent revolution for freedom and rights. I also learned that most African Americans were paid an average of only about $700. African Americans were denied education at all white schools, and were only allowed a less than average education at black schools. Under the Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education, a number of African American Honors students integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Every day they had to endure abuse from a huge angry mob that protested integration and wanted segregation. I feel that I would not have been able to put up with all that abuse. Those nine students that integrated Central High had great determination and never gave up hope. I also learned that it was a very long and hard struggle for all blacks during the Civil Rights Movement. The KKK terrorized blacks and killed them. Many African Americans were killed before they won the rights that they deserve. I was very proud of all the African Americans that participated in things like the Montgomery bus boycott because it showed that they weren’t afraid of standing up for themselves. I felt joyful that they always had the courage to stay non-violent, because if they turned to violence, the situation would not have turned out the same way. Now I will do anything that I can to eliminate discrimination of anyone because it is a very serious and destructive…

    Night and Fog

    I must say that this film is very traumatizing. There are some images in this film that will be burned and scarred into my mind for as long as I live. I have seen many holocaust films, but no one was as near as dramatic and depicting as Night and Fog. However I did like the theme of this movie. It is very sad but yet realistic. Our minds are murky and dull. We tend to only remember the important situation in our lives. Yet we don't remember the importance of our own history. I say OUR history be cause we all are human beings on this earth. Whether we believe in Allah, Jesus, Jehovah, or whatever higher power, we are all one race, and that the human race. It is very sad to know that human beings were treated and slaughtered just because of an ideology of superiority complex. Al though the Jewish people were massacred I learned that we must always keep a sense of hope in order to assure our own survival. When I saw in the movie the moments where there were journals that read about favorite foods and important dates, my heart was filled with sadness. Not because these victims didn't have this to eat but because of the false illusions that they had to dream in order to stay sane.…
