Motivation In Freedom Writers

Introduction.
The film Freedom Writers does a good example of how to motivate and convince others about a social conduct and nice ways of expressing , feeling in community with others and recognizing that an action is wrong. This was done by a teacher, Mrs Gruwell, that started in the school with little knowledge about that. People don't liked how her "wasted" her time in something so supportive to a population of students that really needed it, and in the end, it was an excellent job.
