I think it accurately portrayed the hardships families went through during the Great Depression. At first, everything was fine and James J. Braddock was a successful boxer with a good amount of money. Then, the Great Depression hits and Braddock struggles to support his family. He continues to box, but it is difficult for him to support his family off what little he makes. He tries to find other jobs, but struggles because he broke his hand in a boxing match, making manual labor especially painful for him. I thought this part of the movie was extremely sad. Braddock was trying so hard to support his family, but he could barely manage. He continued to box even though he was not healthy, as he had a broken hand and was extremely malnourished. His wife was always stressed and the Depression was a huge strain of their marriage. Their kids were young and didn’t really understand what was going on, but they still suffered from starvation and illness. I really liked the end of the movie when Braddock receives a large sum of money after winning a huge boxing match. He was able to provide for his family once again. I think this really shows that hard work eventually pays

One of the biggest things included in Stereotypes is are they racist? Yes a lot of them are, but also a big majority are not.

As a Black woman, there are certain stereotypes about Black women and Black people in general that I find humorous or true. For example, the stereotype that Black people lover watermelon is something that I find funny because it is not harmful to Black people. However, the more heinous stereotypes about Black people being aggressive and promiscuous are not true or humorous to me. Of course, there are Black people who are aggressive or promiscuous it is harmful to believe all of us are that way. I also do not agree with the stereotypes about Arabs all being Muslim extremist, these types of stereotypes can cause harmful effects towards Arabs. I do believe that the harmful images against ethnic people and even White people can be reversed through

I have experienced many stereotypes myself. When I wear a head cap also known as a du-rag, I am often viewed as a hoodlum or a terrifying young black male. Head caps are often common for young black males to wear. What is the first thing you think when you see a tall black male with a black head cap on his head? The fact that I had a head cap automatically brought negative connation to what I represent as a person. The stereotypes of this certain group impacted everyone who may have similar feature. I was pre-judged just because I had similar feature to another black male with a head cap that may have been a “thug”. My appearance directly impacted what people thought of me before they even knew me, or before they knew the purpose of my

In the movie ,The human experience, is 3 differents experiences from homeless to abused children and many african people being sick.

We find healing and forgiveness by loving our self by valuing life how it is and making the best of it. We need to find our self to forgive and to heal to know that life is a treasure. We do mistakes and learn but sometimes we should have our feet in the ground and appreciate everything we have and the people that surround us because everyone is valuable.

Because of the Slavery Era and years of mistreatment, African-Americans most likely suffer the most from stereotypes that have been passed down for over 150 years. The most ridiculous one I ever heard growing up was that African-Americans had tails. Older people would tell white children this crazy tale to keep us from going around people of color. This belief is still around today, but is seldom heard. Many others stereotypes really hurt African-Americans in their quest to be treated equal such as them being lazy, uneducated, violent, gangbangers, and

The film Precious directed by Lee Daniels is a solemn movie dealing with the unfortunate truths of everyday life for some individuals. The film staring Gabourey Sidibe who plays the main character Clarice “Precious” Jones along with co-stars Mariah Carey and Leni Kravitz is based in the Ghetto of Harlem in the year of 1987.

I didn’t have specific expectations for this film. I have heard about this movie before and I knew it was very well received both by critics and audiences so perhaps what I expected is a “cure” to the apparent lifeless existence of “perfect family”. Though in the end, it seemed that rejecting that life for one of carelessness, irresponsibility, and delusion can perhaps be even more destructive. For me, the ending lesson I took away was that even in the dark, depressed, and/or dull times in our life, there is beauty that we are failing to recognize because of the pressures of external forces (pressures relating to the professional world as well as measuring success by the goals of the “American Dream”).
