Sin Nombre Social Conflict Theory

The film “The Alamo” revealed the history of Texas and battle of Alamo about Texas revolution, early back in the mid-1830s. The film was released in 2004, which reflected how the Texans fought bravely against Mexicans government to preserve their independence from the Mexico.

In the film, the two gangs are representing the system of capitalism. They divide the town, and they make everyone in the town work for them. Also, the gangs’ corruptions do not only impact the proletarian but also include the government’s services. Another example that illustrates capitalism’s control is that Seibei’s gangs and Ushitora’s gangs are competing and trying to convince Sanjuro to accept their offers and work for one of them. This competition between the two gangs shows the ideology of capitalism and its concept; gangs need to maintain their power in order to be able to control others. Seibei’s gangs and Ushitora’s gangs will do anything to keep themselves safe and to protect their territories. Also, the act of trying to hire someone to kill for them shows how the two gangs consider humans as a tool to achieve their goals. A further example that shows the negative impacts of capitalism and dehumanization of people who live in the town is when Ushitora

One night after one of the boys got upset with their teacher decided to bring his gang to beat him up. The teenagers were never provoked to take such drastic measures as to kill, and had no intention to actually kill. But the leader of the gang, who had a gun, shot him in an area he thought could not kill him, but it did. This did not happen necessarily because the boy was afraid, but it the heat of the moment and the chaos around him, he did. Another example of evil in youth culture is the youth gangs in California. Young men of 2 different gangs were isolated from their community. They began to make their own rules, which lead to things getting out of control. The mentality of these gangs becomes ?this is how we must be to survive and that we must fight to survive?. In most cases, people that have the opportunity to have a good education and raised in decent family make the choice to make their lives chaotic with violence. Others that are raised in a chaotic community do not have much choice. Youth culture are very easily influenced by their communities once they become in a chaotic community, it becomes disastrous for the community and to themselves.

The movie thirteen touched many important factors of adolescent’s development. Some of the ones I want to concentrate in this paper are: family system, developmental tasks, and peer pressure.

With cliques in Washington DC, Oregon, Alaska, Arkansas, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Canada, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and several other South American countries, the MS-13 gang is truly "international" and on the verge of becoming the first gang to be categorized as an "organized crime" entity.” (MS13 Gang….)The strength of the gang members is 36,000 in Honduras.

Leonard’s journey is a little different than the average man’s might be as he was hit in the head and is suffering from anterograde amnesia.

“Fuck, he’s bleeding to death!” (1:26) screams Jorge. Octavio accelerates on the gas even harder. Octavio aggressively swerves through the congestion of cars.

A school bus suddenly pulls up in front of their car. Breaking abruptly, the bloody dog tumbles to the base of the car, and Octavio is able to flee the scene. The Dodge is nowhere in sight. Octavio and Jorge shriek with excitement. They run a red light. Another car suddenly appears from a corner, striking the two by surprise; and violently crashes into the side of their car, initiating a brutal collision of destruction, flames, and blood–a great deal of blood. The striking collision opens the scene to Alejandro Inarritu’s Mexican thriller, Amores Perros (2000). This crash presents the link to three unrelated narratives that are symbolically tied together by the chaotic lifestyle of the modern day metropolis of Mexico City.

His sophomore feature, “Jane Eyre”, was a well-succeeded adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel of the same name. This year, he brings us the wilder “Beasts of No Nation”, a movie centered in an untold African country where a young boy, Agu (Abraham Attah), who lost his family when his village was taken by the army, falls in the hands of the rebels, becoming a brainwashed, highly-trained fighter alienated by war, misery, and his own thirst of revenge. This tale, an adaptation of Nigerian Uzodinma Iweala’s debut

Alfonso Cuaron, introduces us to a nation full of despair and destruction. The people seemed to be lost in a deep melancholic state. Right at the beginning of the movie people appeared to be devastated by the death of baby Diego, due to the fact that he was the youngest person on earth. This film portrays us to a nation without children because humanity has become infertile. Infertility has taken the world into a chaotic and paranoia stage. The government itself has indoctrinated paranoia and despair on its own people, by condemning its people to live in a lawless nation full of war, death, and destruction. Although it seems as if humanity is condemned to live without hope and without a chance of a future, Theo’s rejuvenation and transformation makes us see that hope can be reawakened even in the most destructive and hopeless society; Theo transforms when Kee reveals her pregnancy to him, and by giving hi life to safely this teenage pregnant girl through a journey full of violence and danger, to reach a boat that represented a better future for her and her baby.

In both 12 Years a Slave and The Gangs of New York, the main purpose for violence was to secure social divisions and promote a type of class system that places a certain group of people above all others. More specifically, to be so intimidating that others view them as an ongoing threat, leaving them at the top of the social hierarchy. For example, in 12 Years a Slave, the main point of the movie is documenting the powerlessness slaves felt in society during that time period. When Edwin Epps says “A man is free to do as he pleases with his property,” it shows how these slaves were not even thought of as human beings, let alone at the same social class. Also, in The Gangs of New York, the main plot of the film was a young man seeking to avenge the death of his father by killing the murderer. Also, the main idea throughout the movie was that anyone who didn’t put a violent front was considered to be the weaker man.
