The Defiant Ones (1958) directed by Stanley Kramer showed the racial relations going on in the United States of America.

Disney has faced a large amount of criticism from critics over the tropes and stereotypes that it portrays in its animated films. This is not a recent event however. One of Disney’s most notorious and controversial films, Song of The South, was released in 1946. Song of the South, set during the Reconstruction Era, focuses on a young boy named Johnny who learns that his parents will being living apart for an unknown amount of time, moves to a plantation in Georgia, while his father continues to live in Atlanta. Depressed and confused over the recent events Johnny decides to run away to Atlanta, but is drawn to the voices of Uncle Remus, an ex-slave living on the plantation, telling stories of Br’er Rabbit. Although it is implied that the African American workers are no longer Johnny’s family property, the black characters are still wholly subservient and are happy to be so. James Baskett plays Uncle Remus as a blissfully, happy companion ready to please. Due to this “magical negro” trope, the characters’ ridiculously stereotypical voices, and the unrealistic happy and joyful relationship between the white landowners and their black help, Song of The South, is one of Disney’s most offensive, racist, and fictitious film. Disney’s portrayal of Uncle Remus is his veiled justification of the mistreatment that minorities received before and after the Reconstruction Era.

The movie trainspotting showed multiple forms of drug use throughout its duration. This included cigarette use, alcohol use, as well as some amphetamine use. However, the substance of choice throughout the movie was heroine in which the majority of the main characters were addicted to. One of the most important themes of the movie was the main characters struggle with relapsing. In the movie Renton, the main character, relapses twice; with the first relapse being the worst one. Gorskis relapse process on pages 88-90 demonstrate the series of thought processes that occur from the moment Renton gets off heroin to the moment he relapses. It can be seen that various internal struggles lead to the reuse of the drug. He hits a bottom during this time period and begins committing petty crimes in order to fund his drug habits (pg. 4). This series of events was triggered by a tragedy that Renton and his buddies witnessed, which was the death of dawn a, for lack of a better word, crack baby. As stated by the literature, trigger events can often be evoked by feelings (pg. 97-98). Although the death of the baby was not the trigger event that led to the relapse it fueled the use of heroin to cope with his internal struggles (pgs. 97-98). His second relapse was not as devastating as the first. At this point in the movie Renton was being pressured to test some heroin to see if they could sell it. The scene looked rather degrading to Renton as he sat on the floor injecting him self while

Korean TV dramas also illustrate the distortion of the Confucius virtue, filial piety, surrounding the life of students in dramas such as Sassy Go Go (Balchikhage Gogo, 2015) and Who Are You: School 2015 (Hooayoo- Hakgyo 2015). In Sassy Go Go we are introduced to Kwon Soo-ah, a high school student whose mother’s ambition is to ensure that she will be accepted into Harvard University, an Ivy League school in America. The first episode demonstrates a scene were Kwon Soo-ah meets her mother at school but she doesn’t ask about anything other than her studies. She’s angry that Kwon Soo-ah ranked second in the class, and makes it clear that kind of failure won’t be tolerated again. This type of behavior is routine throughout the drama where Kwon Soo-ah continues to place in second, obtaining the first rank once through malicious acts but then has it taken away and is demerited once her acts are revealed. Clearly, this illustrates how the pressure that the parents place upon the child can cause dire consequences to the child’s state of mind. As the audience follows Kwon Soo Ah the series we see how there are instances where she wants to stop competing with others and simply befriend them or ask forgiveness for her extreme actions. However, her mother hinders her from doing what she deems to be morally correct.
