This point is also sustained by the work of, Don DeLillo in “The Angel Esmeralda”. The reading shows how people who have never been or lived in the ghetto think it’s a fun place to live or how high-class people assume they can go to the ghetto and treat it with admiration like if it was museum or something they have never seen before. When a European tourist bus stopped at Gracie’s neighborhood and all the tourist that were inside the bus started staring at the street that was in a bad condition. The streets had abandoned cars, thrash and unattained houses with broken windows. When this action occurred Gracie went berserk and started screaming to the tourists. “It’s not surreal. It’s real, It’s real. You’re making it surreal by coming here. …show more content…
This movie shows how poor people are treated by rich people who are considered high-class, and how they try escape their already written path that being born chooses for you. When Vinz, Hubert and Said lost the last train that would have taken them back to their neighborhood thanks to the cops aggravation and physically provocation began walking around the city for something to do while they wait for the next train. This is where they saw a small museum showing which they approach. When they entered the museum people inside begun staring at them like they were part of the showing which they noticed and started screaming at the people to stop looking at them. That they are just like them and not so different. Another example is when Vinz, Hubert and Said try talking to a group of girls who were at the museum showing and they try flirting with them. When they show their actual intentions to the girls they begun to laugh and say that they only thought it was a joke and that their only intention was conversation. It can be seen from the above analysis that, individuals who believe they are higher class status than others don’t like to interact with people are considered poor or low class. This action leads to separation of status and judgement based on presence, attitude and monetary
The mission was established initially in 1690 as Mission San Francisco de los Tejas in East Texas. The mission was abandoned and moved to the West Bank of the San Antonio River and was called Mission San Francisco de la Espada in 1731.

Our lady of Guadalupe is the most venerated and respected by the Catholics. The appearance of the Virgin caused a great commotion in the Catholic Church. Ever since the Virgin's first appearance, Catholics have respected and acquired so much faith to the Virgin. The lady of Guadalupe has so many faithful followers that believe in her without any hesitation because of the miracles that she has made for the people that were once suffering and were miraculously helped by her. Because of the help that she has provided for those who were suffering people never forget her and they celebrate the day of her appearance every year by doing parties in her honor. The Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance certainly changed the belief of Catholics and, I believe
He meets Natalia who is a middle aged epileptic who expresses to him a story of anguish that starts in her childhood, when she was hurt by a poisonous tick, and then takes its descending turn after a wicked gypsy woman traps and possibly even kills her husband. Natalia exclaims that it is her epilepsy that is causing her to poor. Her children are no longer with her and were taken from her, or have possibly died, and or have been deserted. Natalia has trouble realizing what her illness is and is not capable to effectively clarify her illness to others. The meaning of poor as well as in other situations in life is because of the absence of guidance. Individuals should be able to recognize their own surroundings, and be capable to change their lifestyle on what will make them happy. Some people consider themselves rich even though they do not have much, and other poor when they have everything. People for the most part live life beyond their needs. It is unfortunate how people will get depressed for the smallest reasons, and others who are more financially restricted wish they could have their problems instead of their
His execution of imagery, diction, and dialogue throughout the text were very prominent regarding these three factors. The authors use of pathos, sickly diction, and humanistic dialogue were very important agents to bring this piece altogether and alive. Especially with the subject of poverty and how it effects not only Flavio’s family, but as the text says “Pockets of poverty in New York's Harlem, on Chicago's south side, in Puerto Rico's infamous El Fungito seemed pale by comparison. None of them had prepared me for this one in the favela o[ Catacumba.” Poverty effects a lot of people, and awareness needs to be brought up through messages like
In the beginning of the movie the first word that popped into my head was poverty. I then thought back into my head and started to think about class and the link between poverty and education. “The higher the socioeconomic level of a student’s family, the greater the student’s chances of finishing high school and college” (Gollnick 82). I tried to keep that thought in my mind for the entire film.
Although, it is proven difficult to completely change your point of view from the society you are brought up in. The characters in this film go through a lot of self-reevaluation to find their place in society, as well as a reevaluation of their initial prejudicial
Authors who write the best books normally don’t have the perfect childhood. What they go through shapes how they see the world and some readers do not agree or understand consequently, the book is banned. From the in-depth imagery to the friendships made during war, the literary masterpiece Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Myers, uses the horrors of Vietnam War as his back drop but was criticized for his use of profanities and racism.
...e is different inequality socially and politically. The inequality is determined by people’s ideals of what they were taught and society projects as the superior and inferior races. This film shows that there is a way to change that if you make the other side see how they affect the people they are discriminating against. It is the responsibility of the adults to stop these learned behaviors and teach the children that people are all equal, that is what needs to be instilled in the generations to come otherwise everything will stay the same. We have come a long way as a people but we still have a long way that we need to go. Nothing will ever be perfect but it should always get better. The lesson that is learned from this workshop is lessons that should be taught in every classroom all over the world maybe then we will see that we are no different from each other.
We see the character miss the last train to the banlieues and wonder around the city. They have nowhere to go. They are the outsiders. The schedule of train are designed to trap the people in the banlieues. Siciliano claims that the existence of banlieues polarizes the city and the suburb. She states that La Haine stresses on the subject of neo-racism in France. Unlike traditional racism, Neo-racism targets people who are culturally different rather than those who are biologically different. As a result, poor people are equally likely to experience racism and police brutality. In La Haine, The youth fails to fit in the Urban area due to the cultural differences. Hence, they are alienated and chased by the police. In the scene when a DJ projects his remix though the window, the camera travels out of the window and looks over the housing project. The bird’s eye view of the project creates a sense of claustrophobia, adding to the feeling of isolation and confinement. The separation of the city and the suburb begins with plan to clear poverty from city centers. De-industrialization further creates the distinction between the city and the suburbs. Economical desperation leads to crimes and violence. Sliverstein asserts that the violence will continue, and the condition will be worse if the French government continues to use heavy policing to resolve youth riots instead of applying structural
I am black, I am a woman, growing up I was called “white girl.” As a black woman from sin city (Las Vegas, NV) the term urban did not describe my reality. Perception can be the only reality that you see in examining the lens of what is “urban”. What is urban? When the word urban comes to mind does it elicit emotions of privilege, pride or fear? Hunter; & Leonardo (2007) look at the term “urban” (particularly in the ghetto) they define it as both a “real” and “imaginary place” and divides the urban perspective into three distinctive categories of “space”: Urban is sophisticated, Urban is authentic, and Urban is a Jungle. Furthermore, from the text the author(s) argue, “daily constructions

As a society there are a lot of qualities that men have been socialized to uphold when it comes to how they act or react, what they support, and what they suppress. This movie produces a harsh critique of male socialization early on and continues

The Bollywood movie “Slumdog Millionaire” directed by Danny Boyle one of the best celebrated movie in the last few years.

The characters in this film assist in in bringing the story to life (Dinham, 2011, p. 191). The actors convey the values and attitudes of the characters and have succeeded in making them believable entities (Dinham, 2011, p. 191). For example, the character of the father clearly does not value material wealth, but rather, believes that richness is found in how much you can give. Although he is not
