Examples Of Brotherhood In Remember The Titans

287 Words1 Page

In the movie, Remember the Titans, there were several positive character traits. Four of which include brotherhood, optimism, perseverance, and pride. The character trait, brotherhood, was shown in many settings in the movie. When an African American boy sat down at a white table, everyone chose to accept him as "another son of god" rather than taking race into account. Also, eventually the Titans sang "Aint no Mountain High Enough" in unison, finally treating each other like brothers after many occurrences in which they didn't. Another example includes, when one of the football players was attacked in the hallway, the other men on the football team helped him out. All of which show brotherhood, because they treat one another as brothers

  • Ethical Dilemmas In The Movie Remember The Titans

    895 Words  | 2 Pages

    The movie I decided to analyze was Remember the Titans. I examined the dilemmas and ethical choices that were displayed throughout the story. In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria Virginia integrate forming T.C. Williams High School. The Caucasian head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African American coach (Denzel Washington) from North Carolina, which causes a fury among white parents and students. Tensions arise quickly among the players and throughout the community when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Coach Boone is a great example of a leader. He knows he faces a tough year of teaching his hated team. But, instead of listening to the hating town or administrators, Boone pushes his team to their limits and forces good relationships between players, regardless of race. His vision for the team involves getting the players concerned in what the team needs to become, and not what it is supposed to be; a waste. Boone is a convincing leader with a brutal, boot camp approach to coaching. He believes in making the players re-build themselves as a team. When Boone says, You will wear a jacket, shirt, and tie. If you don't have one buy one, can't afford one then borrow one from your old man, if you don't have an old man, then find a drunk, trade him for his. It showed that he was a handy Craftsman and wanted done what he wanted done no matter what it took.During training camp, Boone pairs black players with white players and instructs them to learn about each other. This idea is met with a lot of fighting, but black linebacker Julius Campbell and stubborn white All-American Gerry Bertier. It was difficult for the players to cope with the fact they had to play with and compete with ...

    To a certain extent, this demonstrates a sense of individualism as well as maturity. The character that I most closely relate to is Sal, but I would consider Mookie to be a close second. Both of these characters realize the value of work and subsequent reward while keeping in mind the damaging effects of conflict. Sal has quite a bit of faith in Mookie to deliver pizzas and deal with some of the more difficult customers (e.g. Buggin’ Out). Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X are mentioned commonly throughout the film; one man values love while the other champions the occasional necessity for violence. Though Sal and Mookie seem very much indifferent rather than belonging to one side or the other, they both demonstrate signs of love rather than of hate. As a result, these men don’t necessarily begin confrontations, rather conflict seems to find

    Remember the Titans is a film from 2000 displaying a true story of a racially divided football team from the 1970s. The movie highlights the relationships of the black and white people, and how they learned to interact with each other in a time when this was not the way of life. It brings up a number of questions throughout, of what is right and what is wrong, and really challenges the characters, making it a very interesting movie to watch. I have seen this movie many times, and each time I feel like I get something new out of it. It is a movie that can be used as a teaching tool, it does a great job of interpreting not only what was happening in the United States of America at that time, but social psychology concepts through real life situations.

The evidence that supports my idea is “.... pulled out one of my cards that had my home telephone written on it and I handed it to him.” When Roger did that, it showed that he forgave him and he’s not mad at him at all.

  • Leadership and Followership

    The first characteristic, a positive attitude, is important because having the ability and enjoyment of working with other people in a team is a useful skill. A sincere liking and respect for other people is a wonderful asset. Being well liked will certainly help in working in teams or any other social situation. Humor and warmth are effective in order to be a good team member. A follower who focuses on positive thoughts by filtering out negative ones is on the trail of leadership. President Dwight D. Eisenhower often said, “No pessimist ever won a battle.” People who have a positive outlook on both life and specific situations tend to achieve their goals more often. The choice and determination to maintain an event-tempered disposition come what may; hence the ability to smile in the face of adversity and make things a little brighter for everyone.
