Movie To Social Disorganization Theory

Decent Essays
Relating the movie to social disorganization theory, mainly that stood out was like neighborhood where the schools were. One was in low class neighborhood, that area around it was poor, and bad influence like drugs and crime. The new school which was much cleaner, more resources and different community. It seemed like it was upper class maybe middle, but it was definitely better school than their old school because it was more put together and the neighborhood. Schools being in different neigh hoods make a difference where one brought more positivity than the other. One carried bad influenced things, other led the way to their dreams.
