Good morning Mr Harrop and fellow peers. Today I will be analysing the moral issues and moral dilemmas in non-literary texts, so that we can understand and evaluate how test structures, language and visual features can be used to influence an audience response. An exemplar of many moral and ethical dilemmas is shown through popular sport inspiring movie, ‘Remember The Titans’ (Yakin, 2000) directed by Boaz Yakin. Yakins has a gift for dealing with controversial human issues, by facing the characters with racism, peer pressure and selfishness. Alongside the writer Gregory Allen Howard, they have utilized textual structures, language features and visual features to influence the audience's response.

Remember The Titans was a movie that was set in a very hostile time in our country. We were in the middle of what I like to call a civil war. Although there were no battles or gunfights our country was torn in half. There was an issue dealing with race in the United States. The movie, Remember the Titans is based on actual events that occurred in the year 1971. Mainly on the integration of a school called TC Williams High School. When the school was integrated the old football coach, Coach Yoast, was let go and a black coach Herman Boone was hired on. The main plot of this movie is regarding the coaching change in the school and the 1971 football season the TC Williams Titans have.

Good morning/afternoon fellow students and Mr Harrop. Today I will be analysing the moral issues and moral dilemmas in non-literary texts and understanding and evaluating how text structures, language and visual features can be used to influence audience response. A moral issue is one’s opinion on what is right or wrong whilst a moral dilemma is when one is called to take action that violates their values. The film that I will be analysing is ‘Remember the Titans’ a film directed by Boaz Yakin. One of the moral dilemmas characters in the film face is whether they decide to cooperate with the other race when they are forced to merge. One of the ethical dilemmas that characters face in the film are decisions that need to be made to stop the

Prejudice, as defined in psychology, is a negative attitude towards members of a group, based on an individual’s involvement of that group. All of us are subject to be a target of prejudice concerns. Any one man or woman who is prejudice against a group, will tend to ignore the individual characteristics or behavior of members of the group that they themselves share, solely based on the reason they associate themselves to a different group. In the film ‘Remember the Titans’, prejudice is portrayed in several ways, but mainly targets the discrimination of the African-Americans. Racism is one form of prejudice that becomes a recurring action seen throughout most of the movie, it doesn’t slow town until the town starts to see how well all

A paradigm is defined as how you perceive or see something. Therefore, a paradigm shift is when your perception of something is changed or challenged. For many characters in the movie Remember the Titans, the struggle of integration and football challenges their thoughts on racial segregation. While many of the characters don't agree with the idea of integration and believe that they are superior to the rest, paradigm shifts happen for most every one of the characters. Throughout the movie we see that both adults, teens, and children have paradigms of others, themselves, and relationships.

Most people don’t realize that the media play up the stereotypes and gender roles that are out there. We don’t realize that the movies and television shows we watch feed into the stereotypes and gender roles that we believe in. Remember the Titans, directed by Boaz Yakin, tells the story about a high school football coach, Herman Boone, attempting to integrate T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria in 1971. Boone coming to T.C. Williams High School really upset many parents and students. When the parents of the football players found out he was going to be helping the head coach, Bill Yoast, many were fuming with anger. Why? Because he is African-American. Parents did not want their children playing African-American children in sports or sitting next to them in classrooms. This movie is based on a true story and the film challenges everything we claim we know about discrimination and racism in school.

Every individual is expected to behave appropriately and collaborate with other people with respect. It does not matter what country someone came from, nor what race he or she might be. No one is born who is already a racist. Family background and social environment where someone grew up are the biggest factors that influence people’s attitude and behavior, and on how they deal with a situation and make the best decision that they could. These factors also affect how someone can deal and create a harmony and relationship with others despite of racial and demographic differences. In the film Remember the Titans, directed by Boaz Yakin, it illustrates the unity and teamwork of a football team regardless of every player’s race. When differences are set aside and people will work together, everything will work out as planned.

Don’t you feel that the world today is revolved around sex, drugs, and pressure? Our generation is different than our parents. Relationships are different than they used to be. There not caused by love at first sight at the homecoming game, there caused by getting drunk at a party and ending up making out or worse. Relationships these days are determined by how much they do. If teens are having sex they must be in love. People don’t realize that you don’t have to have sex to be in love. You should love the person to have sex but you don’t need to have sex unless you are married to that person and are dedicated to spend the rest of your life with that one person.

Many young people look for love in all the wrong places. Many teenagers simply don’t understand yet the real essence of dating. First, let’s look at some reasons why young people date. One of which is Peer Pressure, wherein one feels unfitting when he or she is the only one in the group who hasn’t gotten a girlfriend or boyfriend yet; another is when one makes it a solution to a previous break-up so as to ease the pain and letting everything be renewed again; the Family Issue, where teenagers would likely find an emotional outlet whenever they experience family problems; the undying Inspiration Factor, when in fact instead of being inspired they became expired whenever a quarrel arises and studies are likely to be affected; another is the Sexual Urge that is common in boys who just wanted to have an exceptional sexual experience; the Media Influence, where teenagers get the idea of “you and me against the world” fantasies and rambling the thought of having a love team while some just date for experience and out of curiosity (Molmisa, 2010). Many young people consider these things to be love. But out of their discernment is just an infatuation. Infatuation is an intense, short-lived and irrational passion for somebody (Encarta, 2009). Oftentimes, the mind is being affected by it.
