well represented in “Crash,” the idea that all contribute and are necessary for society to function properly is not. Throughout the movie, the social institutions are constantly clashing with each other.

While the Structural…

Books and movies have been working on…

I learned that alcohol abuse can damage the digestive system and can make it painful to eat. Ryan’s family was enabling him throughout these three years. He threw tantrums to get alcohol and they give in and bought him some. He was manipulating everyone around him. He became the family scapegoat. His family appears to genuinely care about him…
