In some Chinese schools,although have little racial problems,but it is still a big trust problem in teacher-student relationship:In Zhongnan University,a graduate student had jumped from a building,the reason is he thought his teacher did not trust him and gave a low score for his project .It is a sad example about trust problems.A primary school student also uses same way to suicide.The reason is his teacher put him into a group which he did not like,he misunderstanded teacher and teacher did not communicated with him in time,he felt unfair then he did this stupid decide .These two sorrow cases are caused by trust problems,because their teachers did not
They began to work together to do good like when the students held a concert to get a guest speaker or when their teacher got another job just to get the students books the students where in a dark place and their teacher showed them the light. Most of the students were in gangs and bad situations but she took them out of that. The quote connects to the story because as it states they will stand by you in your darkest moments and Ms. Gruwell encouraged all of the students in their darkest moments when they were all so against one another and turning their back on school she stood by them and didn’t give up. The quote also states ‘’in your greatest moments they’re not afraid to let you shine’’ and she let them shine by giving them the credit for all the hard work they did and standing up for them against her coworkers and just overall believing in them that’s what connects the story The Freedom Writers to the quote
Many people are not aware of their true potential and they need someone to help them realize their abilities. Mentor relationships were established between characters, such as Jamal and Forrester from Finding Forrester and Marcus and Gruwell from Freedom Writers. These characters needed guidance to realize their true abilities. The mentors also encouraged the characters to develop more considerate personalities. The mentors in Freedom Writers and Louder Than A Bomb were more focused on the bigger picture, such as creating a strong community and keeping the characters out of trouble. Gruwell realized that her students grew up with prejudices embedded into them by their families. The prejudices that students held against each other were so strong that they were not only hurting each other, but their own education and growth as individuals. “Don't let the actions of a few determine the way you feel about an entire group,” was said by Gruwell to make her students reflect on their prejudices towards each other. Similarly, the coaches in Louder Than A Bomb knew that the students “could do great thin...

The war of the Black people of getting freedom and their rights and to get themselves a slavery free community. The black Americans were fighting for their freedom, they were passionate, they knew that if they fight, they will achieve what they want. They always wanted their freedom, they always wanted slavery free life. It did not matter to them how long it took or how many lives they lost, but at the end of the day they achieved their freedom. This shows their passion for achieving something which in this case is freedom.
According to scholar Jane Thompson, the “practice of freedom” allows an individual to discover his or her own ways in this world. This is certainly a case with Rita as she goes through the Open University and establishes her own hidden potentials. With the help of Frank, Rita is able to conquer through the struggles opposed to her during her studies, and come out victorious. Without the help of Frank, Rita would not have been enrolled into the Open University, and her life would not have made this dramatic change for the better. The final product of their combined hard work comes to be a new Rita, an educated woman who is confident, independent and free-willed. It did not come easy for her, but for Rita, the efforts were certainly worth it.

The 2007 movie Freedom Writers gives a voice of hope and peace in a fragile environment where hate and sorrow battle in the life of urban teenagers. This drama film narrates the true story of a new English teacher, Erin Growell, who is designated to work in an inner-city school full of students surround by poverty, violence and youth crime bands. During the beginning of the movie, the teacher struggles to survive her first days at this racially segregated school in which students prejudice her for being white and ignore her authority in the classroom.

The film Freedom Writers directed by Richard La Gravenese is an American film based on the story of a dedicated and idealistic teacher named Erin Gruwell, who inspires and teaches her class of belligerent students that there is hope for a life outside gang violence and death. Through unconventional teaching methods and devotion, Erin eventually teaches her pupils to appreciate and desire a proper education. The film itself inquiries into several concepts regarding significant and polemical matters, such as: acceptance, racial conflict, bravery, trust and respect. Perhaps one of the more concentrated concepts of the film, which is not listed above, is the importance and worth of education. This notion is distinctly displayed through the characters of Erin, Erin’s pupils, opposing teachers, Scott and numerous other characters in the film. It is also shown and developed through the usage of specific dialogue, environment, symbolism, and other film techniques.
...n people have nothing. If people had more compassion for others the United States would not have all the problems that it does today. Mrs. Erin Gruwell had compassion for the students; when they saw how much she cared they changed their perspectives on life. Against all odds toward against Mrs. Erin Gruwell, she had the power of human will to teach the student. The writer introduced several scenarios on how young innocent children were influenced by family and friends of the same racial background to create hatred and gang’s violence against other races. Five messages in Freedom Writer are: Non judgmental, Racism, having compassion, the power of the human will, and education. Being non judgmental, having compassion and having human will helped Mrs. Erin Gruwell educate the children at Woodrow Wilson Classical High School. Segregated by race, united with education.
I was exposed to a classroom that was very diverse and learned the importance of teaching for learner differences. Not are students are the same and when the needs of a classroom are not being met the students can quickly become frustrated and deterred from learning. When the student’s needs are being met they are able to interact with their peers without the frustration and with guidance can maintain a safe learning environment.
Hollywood inflated the audience 's view of the neighborhood as it was shown in black in white, focused on graffiti with sirens in the background, and even entered a drug deal happening in front of the students as they entered the bus. It can be speculated that the living conditions the students live in is what causes them to develop tough attitudes toward life which causes behavior problems. This idea is seen today as well; students are the creation of where they live around. From past experience, I observed that the students that misbehaved and act out were the ones that came from a broken home or live in a rough neighborhood. For example, when Ms. Johnson first entered the class every student was in their own world doing what they wanted to do. None of them payed any attention to Ms. Johnson, but the ones that did were disrespectful by calling her “white bread” (8.00-9.35). In the movie Freedom Writers, the same reactions to a new teacher was expressed by the students (10.15). In both cases the students where minority students that come from low-income families. In both of these movies most of the teacher in the school accepted the student 's misbehavior and did not want to teach them or have anything to do with them. In Dangerous Minds, the students were even referred to as the special kids by the vice principal and by Hal, a teacher
What is trust? Is trust essential for the way we live our everyday life? Trust is a quality or condition of being trustworthy; loyal; reliable. I think trust is an essential way of life because you cannot make a relationship, friendship, a business, or an organization if there is no foundation. Part of that foundation is trust and loyalty because you should be able to depend, rely, and trust others that they will do exactly what is right for them and you. Trust can be broken so quick, it is scary, because once trust is broken it is a lot harder to gain back then when you first gained trust in someone. This relates to my life because my trust with my dad was alerted going into my freshman year.
Organizational success is dependent on both leaders and followers. A strong leader “cannot expect others to follow; leaders must provide a good reason for others to follow” (Satterlee, 2013, p. 6). Similarly, effective followers “share a number of essential qualities, including intelligence and self-reliance”, and do not require constant attention or approval (Satterlee, 2013, p. 6). A necessary element in building the foundation for functioning relationships, trust is an “intangible intellectual asset, a skill, and an influencing power” for leaders and followers (Savolainen & Hakkinen, 2011, Abstract section, para. 1). This literature review considers the concepts of leadership, followership, and trust by examining how each is important to organizational leaders, as well as, strategies for implementing within an organization. “A good manager gets others to do what he/she wants them to do. A good leader gets others to want what he/she wants.”
