This film has many points that can be addressed by a social worker. These young kids live in the projects and are afraid to even go home. During the film one boy runs all the way home because he is scared of getting robbed or jumped. Other kids on the team are left home alone at night while there mom works. All of these young boys are afraid to even go home.

According to Durkheim, Social fact or social phenomenon are the main subject matter of sociology. He said in one of his pieces that social fact must be studied distinct from the biological and psychological phenomenon. Social order is the trend of behavior being used to exercise power over another person. It has become rules and regulations that have been set up by some authorities to be obeyed by another group of people who are being undermined in a society, it is a situation that oppressed people and limits them from their liberties. When people go through these situations they cannot function the way they are supposed to function because they are limited by their freedom. These social orders are not only laws but rather certain norms created by the authority to put a whole race into a situation where they are very far from freedom of speech, movement, and knowledge. African Americans are an example of a race that has been through discrimination at workplaces, schools, community etc. They are one race which has been a label or put in a class where the situation will never permit you to climb the ladder of success. Although you might have all the certification, qualification, the best schools, etc. but the fact that you came from the poor class or the lower class, it becomes very difficult for the Caucasian people to give you the opportunity you deserve, because of this, the citizens of American have been grouped into different classes which are upper, middle, working,

Like in every college, there are social groups or fraternities and sororities as we call them now. In the inspiring movie, “School Daze” by Spike Lee shows the constant conflict within African-American community over hair texture and skin complexion. Lee used a college campus, “Mission College,” because in the late 80’s and early 90’s, college campuses gained popularity in the black communities. Culture, stereotypes, and audiences displayed throughout this film. So what actually goes on during this inspirational film and why did Spike Lee make it?

The reality of homeless people in the South Bronx district of Hunts Point is still on the rise today. Everywhere a bystander goes whether in the parks, streets, trains, buses, unoccupied lots, under bridge landscapes, and cities they are likely to see a homeless person struggling to survive. The Hunts Point neighborhood deserves to be an affordable, safe, comfortable place to live in, and not to be forgotten, and not to be left in the streets with uncertainty. In today’s society, a lot of people tune out the homelessness situation that is surrounding them because they are so driven by work and money to make a livelihood, but at the same time, they can be placed in this situation and loss of a home and assets. For example, psychologist Abraham

I was very aware of sexual violence on college campuses so I was not really surprised by the information presented in The Hunting Ground. Before I moved to Cleveland, Ohio two years ago I live in North Carolina. I have friends that are students at UNC. I was a student at East Carolina University and lived on campus two years ago. Before move in day we were required to complete lessons online about campus safety, dorm safety, sex, and alcohol/ drugs. I lived in an all-girl hall, meaning there were no boys. We always instructed to never walk alone at night, make sure our phones were always working, not to leave our drinks unattended, and the dangers of certain frat house parties. I had many friends in sororities so I would hear stories. Sarah

Hollywood does a great job with making movies and making the viewer believe that, that is what actually happened in real life. Even though some parts of a movie is correct about what actually happened, they like to exaggerate or add certain things that didn’t actually happen in real life. It makes the movie better or more interesting to the person who is watching the movie. In the movie “Black Mass” they do an exceptional job of sticking to true events. The movie shows how the most notorious gangster in America got away with so much and why the police never did anything for an extended period of time.

In our Sociology class we watched a movie about the very evident and very debatable aspects of a mental institute. Everything that is shown throughout this movie can be compared to a jailhouse in every way. This movie called “One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest” clearly demonstrated the four elements of total institution. With the different characters presented throughout this movie they all showed different stages and forms of this term, but as the movie developed so did they. The first step is status hierarchy which is once you get there you realize who is in charge and who are the ones being controlled within the inmates, and through the staff.

In Dr. Wolfe’s statement on the recent events that have taken place in Baltimore he talks about police brutality, crime, racism, and inequality. Dr. Wolfe’s sociological training affects the way he looks at these events. In his statement he talks about how police brutality is not just happening among “a few bad apples” but instead how it is a systemic issue. He may be right but he also may be wrong. Dr. Wolfe is trained to study race, the criminal justice system and the relationship between both of them. This does not mean he has the answers to these problems. Being training in sociology, he looks at these events in the obvious matter that a problem has formed in society. Police brutality is real but it is not something new, it has being going on for years so why is it becoming a major problem today? My father is a retired New York City police officer and has seen all this while being on the job. Dr. Wolfe is a sociology professor and he sees the result of the problems that are being brought forward today. He should use past sociologist and their theories to help him explain why society is the way it is. Instead, he is becoming a follower and is pointing his finger at the police just like everyone else is. Dr. Wolfe’s job is to find a way to explain why racism and inequality is still a problem today. Although his sociological view may be right, he cannot defend his view as strongly as he is without seeing this problem through the view of a police officer. In his

At the conclusion of the film, I walked over to two of the men and asked them if they would mind answering a few questions about their emotional experience during the film for a sociology assignment I had. They agreed, and I asked them three questions, at the same time. The first was what they thought of the movie. Both men agreed that it was “good” and Emma Watson did a “good job” as Belle. Next, I asked them if the movie stirred any emotions in them, and especially if it made them feel the need or desire to cry at any point.
