Dialectic Analysis Of The Movie Crash

In this paper I will explain dialectic perspective and also explain reality as a motion along with reality as a contradiction. This paper will use “Crash” the movie for examples of dialectic perspective as well as the other things mentioned. Dialectic perspective is appearance and essence may not be the same thing. That is where reality as motion comes in. Motion is just movement through any surface. Reality as motion means that anything in reality is motion. Reality is always in motion.

Motion is in everything and motion is not ever going to stop. Motion will only ever change direction whether it is for the better or for the worse. Reality as a motion and reality as a contradiction should be things that we pay attention to in everyday life as well as teach our children to pay attention to so they do not make the same mistakes. Moving towards a better life instead of the wrong
