There are many movies that have a lot to do with sociology. One movie that comes to my mind right away is the movie Mean Girls. Mean Girls was directed by Mark Waters and came out in 2004. There are many ways that this comedy relates to sociology. Some sociological terms that I recognize in the movie are; culture, material, non-material, language, values, roles, stereotypes, and conflict theory.

In general, Wintergirls made me feel a bit more educated on a subject I didn't necessarily understand in the first place. Although I’ve only known one person who struggles with an eating disorder, multiple of my close friends have struggled with self harm or self mutilation. Wintergirls is indeed fiction, but Laurie Halse Anderson writes in such a way it feels extremely real. Teenagers today are really struggling self image because the society we live is unforgiving. Things like weight and clothing are taken so seriously and it's kind of ridiculous. Seeing Lia’s point view really opened my eyes as to why people hurt themselves. They feel trapped or like nothing can save them. After reading I feel kind of dumb being

The social learning theory argues that a person is heavily influenced by their environment, and they acquire their skills, either positive or negative from their surroundings and from the people in them (Morenoff, Raudenbush, Sampson, 2001 pp. 517-519). Luis was raised in a poorer neighborhood, and with his mother abandoning him and his father working all the time he made his own relationships. Unfortunately, he made them with the wrong crowd as he started dating a gangster and his best friend was keen on becoming one as well. Luis then stopped caring for school. We realize that he learned some violent skills from his friends from the disrespectful way he treated his father, and how quick he was to assault Santiago and steal his father’s truck back. In these cases, the best support to these juveniles would be programs that would allow them to develop their own interests. Programs like these would enable troubled youths like Luis and the gangsters from Crips and Bloods to develop their own sense of identity and allow them to become independent individuals. As a result, troubled youths like these would not succumb to criminal activities because they would not allow the labels that others place on them or their friends’ negative influence to affect them. In theory, with the proper support systems many youths would be better able to explore other alternatives rather than joining the

The movie “Gone with the Wind” is about a rich southern girl named Scarlett O’Hara and her life hardships set during the time-period of the Civil War. In the story, Scarlett is forced to watch helplessly as her family’s wealth and lives fade as the confederacy loses the Civil War. Even though, the movie is mainly centered on the dilemmas of Scarlett’s love life, there are many historical accuracies that immerse the viewer in the southern mindset as well as the timeframe. The portrayal of class structures and the confederate attitudes before the Civil War are both accurate and engaging details that the movie successfully implements. In the film, these examples are displayed mainly through the dialogue and setting.

Director Bong Joon-ho’s post-apocalyptic film, Snowpiercer (2013), follows the capitalistic microcosm of a super train that houses the last vestiges of humanity. Curtis, the film’s protagonist, leads a group of ragtag revolutionists against the carefully perfected balance of the train in hopes of obtaining an egalitarian system. As the group forces their way from the tail of the train to the engine room, they’re greeted with new surprises with each new train car they pass through. On their quest, the group comes across a seemingly harmless school car. It’s in this school car that viewers see the juxtaposition Joon-ho created between the “train babies” from the tail section and the more privileged middle-class children.

Sub details-Teens and children are influenced to enter the world of drug trafficking by being lured into the fact that they will make a lot of money which in the drug trafficking business there is no such thing since there is either very little pay to no pay whatsoever.

Individuals who are addicted to drugs will do anything possible to get “a fix” when they are feening. They commit crimes such as, robberies, simple assaults, and breaking and entering just to get money for their next high. Individual’s who are addicted to drugs loose self esteem and morals. They will walk the streets pan handling for money, hang out on the street corners holding signs for help, and have sex with random people, just too get enough money for their next high. We as society have to worry what these individuals will do when they need that fix and can’t get it.

Josey started with a job shampooing in a nearby hair salon, but it was not enough to support her family. Therefore, she decided to take a job at the coal mine where her father works also.

In most of his movies, Walt Disney (1901-1966) portrayed death as an inevitable element in the life of a family—an element that repeatedly created a routine of young motherless and fatherless characters. Take, as examples, the movie Bambi ( 1942) in which a deer hunter killed Bambi’s mother, the movie Cinderella (1950) in which Cinderella’s mother dies at the beginning of the movie, the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) in which Snow White’s mother dies, once again, at the beginning of the movie. In Disney movies, most protagonists have no parents; they have absent parents, adoptive parents, or one parent who dies in the movie. In other words, death, in Disney movies is a norm and not an exception. Why is death such a preponderant element in Disney movies?
