In Jean Kilbourne’s video, Killing Us Softly 4, Jean expresses how advertisements have been portraying women as a sex symbol or even as just a typical housewife. She talks about how the advertisements have sold various products by not necessarily selling the product itself, but by using women or men to sell the product for them. Ad agencies have used sex and body image to create a type of selling factor for their product. These selling strategies have shaped the way society views women and how women are treated (Killing Us Softly).

“The help” film is a perfect representation of how the south was and gives an idea on how bad African Americans were treated even if they were being paid and not only that but it also shows how different everything was back then. For example, as shown in the movie the women back then were quite different from today. Skeeter the main character is described as a very independent woman compared to the rest of the white female characters. She doesn’t seem to have an interest in men now but considers finding a dependable job unlike the other white females. Skeeter was also an educated woman and even had a bachelor’s degree. Back in that specific time frame this was rather odd for a lady to be educated. Skeeter tries to advocate for the events that are occurring within southern homes by writing the experiences of the Jackson, Mississippi’s black maids. Meanwhile, the film shows southern culture in great detail.

In the video “30 Day”, Michael Spurlock's experience with living a full month in a Native American life is really depressing. The whole Navajo nation has led to becoming a place of poverty, alcoholism, and unemployment. I had no idea that on some native territories like the Navajo, the difficulties they face every day trying to survive with a little resource the government has to offer for them. The amount of hard work they have to put just so they can sustain a minimal living like the poverty in America. I didn't realize that it so difficult to get a job in the reservation due to the little income in the economy you that the Indians make. It's not their fault that they want to continue living in that area because they wish to keep their culture

While watching the film, "Bowling for columbine" I realized that the filmmaker, Michael Moore spent a decent amount of time looking at the fact that by that white America is seemingly afraid of the black man.

Bowling For Columbine is a documentary that was produced by Michael Moore which focusses primarily on the relationship between the crime rates throughout various regions. After learning that Canada and the United States had a very similar ratio when it came to households and guns, Michael was intrigued that Canada had a substantially lower rate of gun related crimes.

Out in the night is a documentary about how much are the gay people oppressed, and the society is not accepting them, therefore they are struggling to get accepted, and gain their proper place in the society. And the main problem in the documentary is the assault of a man on a group of lesbians in New York, so they get arrested for trying to protect and defending themselves, and their struggle to get freedom.

In the movie Crash, the director Paul Haggis interweaves multiple connected stories about race, class, family, and gender in Los Angeles, California after the 9/11 event.
