building through adversity and using diversity to strengthen a team. We see this team building done by many characters, most notably Yoast and Boone the two coaches. They are helped in this by the players themselves as well. A white player named Gerry Bertier and a black player name Julius Campbell. Both players are initially determined to side along racial lines during their team building experience at camp. Yoast and Boone help set the example for the players as Yoast swallow his pride and accepts

Jarod Skinner This film is based off a true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a disrespective racially integrated unit. Denzel Washington and Will Patton are the stars of the two football coaches, one black, one white, whose lives are linked for a season, even though neither wants it that way. In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria, Virginia chose to fusion the Schools into T.C. Williams High School. Coach Yoast, before was

The definition of sport is an athletic activity that involves physical action and usually with competition. The movie Remember the Titans is an inspirational story of racial struggle and obstacles for a high school football team and town. A stunning and remarkable plot that demonstrated how prejudice and racism can be overcome for the good of people. Football is America’s popular sport. It is a favorite sport to watch on TV and people love football because of its strategic concept of offense and

He seems to want the audience to respond with shock and sympathy as they witness how vile the black people are treated. One of the few racism dilemma’s is shown after Gerry, Alan and Ray are returned to the high school after coach Yoast stops them from joining the city riots. Infuriated with the black people fighting back, Gerry instigates the racism and discrimination, snarling, “Hell why don’t you just kick ‘em all off the team. I don’t wanna play with any of them black animals.” This scene was

their differences in order to win the state championship. There are many societal issues present in the movie but the most prominent one is racism. When the team members are forced to get to know each other during the football camp the first thing Gerry Bertier assumes about Julius is that black boys do not know their fathers and have multiple siblings, this assumption was in fact not true. Such stereotypes deepened the gap between the two races

desegregation succeed. This was a time where acts such as this were so important in society, for it was slowly making people more and more accustom to the fact that they aren’t just black people, they are humans too. My favorite scene is when Julius visits Gerry in the hospital and the nurse said “only family allowed” and Gary quickly corrects her “he is family can’t you see the resemblance.” This scene towards the end of the movie just shows how Gary gave equality a chance and ended up with a best friend

Question 1: Personal power is when one impacts another person or group of people through their actions and behaviour. This is depicted in Coach Herman Boone as he uses his power as coach to teach the ‘white team’ and ‘coloured team’ to work together to create the perfect team. It is also seen when Louie Lastik sat with the people with coloured skin at lunch instead of with the people with ‘white skin’. Social power is when a group of people have are more dominant or have a higher status from something

Given the huge task of integrating the football team of a small school in Virginia, Coach Boone and assistant coach Bill Yoast played by Will Patton begin by introducing their two captains, Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell. News of the new head coach and integration of the school had sent the town into a complete uproar. Having black students walk the halls with white students hadn’t been an option until now and to add to the tension of integration

Remember the Titans has many very important main characters yet the four I would like to go in grave detail about are the Head Coach Herman Boone, Assistant Coach Bill Yoast, Titans team captain Gary Bertier (and unofficial rallier of the white football players), and Julius Campbell (the unofficial leader of the black athletes.) Coach Boone at the beginning of the movie was always courteous when people
