An important conflict in the 2000 film, Remember the Titans directed by Boaz Yakin, is the dispute between football captains Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell. The conflict is caused by a prejudice towards each other's race as Gerry is raised in a white, racist family while Julius is black and a victim of prejudice within the community. Because of this they are both repulsed at the thought of having to share a room with one another.

In this film, it is very unmistakably the learning affiliation is encountering organizational challenges. Mr. Nolan is concentrating such a marvelous total on his good 'ol fashioned control rejecting the social portion of his organization. This particular piece concentrates on a video cut from the Video by the Title Dead Poets Society. The clip is gone up against some part of the film in areas when understudies were being told about verse.
