Proposal Outline
My Proposal Outline for English 001 is about the movie “Remember the Titans”. This movie is displayed early on as two teams are forced to integrate. This is an excellent movie to watch. In the obvious plot, it manifests throughout the movie. Racism is the message. The process of this essay is going to describe some actual events that had happened back then when this first had started. African Americans were denied education for the sole purpose and were denied education, etc. That underlying message is what I am going to discuss. Also, I am going to discuss what are some alternatives ways to reduce racism. “Remember the Titans” is based on a true story

    From Slavery to a Newer Slavery Although the titles of Langston Hughes’ “Theme for English B” and Ralph Ellison’s “The Battle Royal” differ completely, they both intend to display African Americans as the subaltern and whites as the hegemony. The subaltern being a group or groups of people, who the hegemony imposes upon and the hegemony being the imposer of its own culture, environment and expectations upon the subaltern. In “Battle Royal” and “Theme for English B,” the hegemony imposes upon the subaltern by using different methods of grading based on the race of each student, rejection of their unifying human attributes and speaking in a less formal way to emphasize their position as the tyrannical hegemony. “Theme for English B” and “The…

    One of the most prevalent topics in To Kill A Mockingbird is the town of Maycomb 's underlying racism and prejudice. The book shows that racism is very existent in the world around us, and can be seen in many different ways. In Martin Luther King Jr 's Letter from Birmingham Jail, Mr. King speaks of the inequalities and repercussions of being African American. Maya Angelou 's Graduation tells a similar story of Ms. Angelou being faced with inequalities at her high school graduation. All of these events were, unfortunately, a result of the racism that was especially present during the 1930s to the 1970s.…

    “Remember The Titans” questions (Gerry) 1. I feel like what happened to Petey, Sunshine and the others was not the right choice for the person turning them down. Why would it matter who you are with or what you look like/race to get service at a restaurant. I think that everyone should get a fair share at being served at a restaurant, at the end of the day we are still people and have feelings therefore others should respect that. Also Petey had been to the restaurant before so why would they refuse to serve them and even kick them out.…

    The movie Remember the Titans is an excellent example for sociological theories. Many topics can be observed within this movie, but two of the most prominent topics that we covered this semester are social structure, more specifically race and prejudices, and group processes, focusing on status construction. This movie takes place in a small town in North Carolina that has to deal with the shifting racial makeup of their football team, therefore high school, and therefore community. There is a lot of conflict not only between the different racial groups, but also within racial groups when people have different opinions of what is acceptable. The combination of the two racial groups leads to interesting observations of racial opinions and group…

    Dear White People (2014) is a movie based on a fictional Ivy League college called Winchester. The school is predominantly white, which leads to several culture clashes that result in a “Release Your Inner Negro” party held by one of the most prestigious houses at the school. The movie explores racial identities of the diverse black cast in order to create a social commentary on issues that students still face today. The main student we follow is Sam White, a biracial film and media student who is a big advocate for black student rights and the BSU. I believe this movie is crucial and should be implemented within every school curriculum because it gives examples of racism, microaggressions, and many other race based aggressions that should…

It seems that the minorities make up the the majority of people who feel that they are being treated unfairly.…
