Racism in Movie (Remember the Titans)

Similar to Glory Road, Remember the Titans is another movie that shows racial discrimination in a sports team. It was released in 2000 and it was awarded is various awards and nominations. The movie takes place in Virginia, in 1971, when racism was still a huge issue. The main event occurs in a high school football team, which becomes desegregated. In order to unite the football team, the head coach starts a camp a week before the school starts. The team successfully unites despite the racial difference, when the team goes back to school, the world does not allow them to. The team faces many incidents associating with racial discrimination, and become separated. Despite the winning streak, the team does not feel united anymore, therefore, finds a need to get back together as they were during the camp. Somehow, the team truly unites back together and achieve greatness throughout the season.
By using dramatic stories, such as friendship and love, the movie successfully demotes racism. Even though our skin color might be different, in deep inside us, we are all the same. The team, not only change themselves, but also changes people around them as well, and that is what this movie tries to achieve as well. When watching this movie, people can realize that racism is a serious issue, but it can be alleviated. When people acknowledges the little differences between people of different races, things can get a lot better than it is now.

White Teacher Sues Black Kids

Middle School Social Sciences Teacher, Elizabeth Handrac sues her own students for calling her "white cracker" and criticizing her because she was white. She mentioned that the school administrators did not do anything to prevent what was happening to her and her black students and that it would be best for her to just quit and find some other school. She feels that these kids are huge racists, and that she has been subjected numerous times from these kids. Calling her names, swearing at her for being white, etc. As a conclusion, the school have attacked Elizabeth Handrac instead saying that it was the school's culture and that she could do nothing about it. They didn't discipline any of the students that mocked her, they actually stood up for these students against this "white" teacher.

Black Man Calls for Extermination of White People

Kamau Kambon used to be a professor at North Carolina States University, teaching students about his passions in the past. However, today, Kamau Kambon has become a racist that wants all of the "white" people in the world to be exterminated. He thinks that in order for all the issues or war, racism, sexcism, etc. to be gone is to have all of the "white" people exterminated. He feels that they are the ones that are causing the problems and preventing the world from peace and freedom. He also felt that there was a new form of slavery in the United States. He felt that the black people were trapped in the current type of slavery: ecomnomic slavery. He also thought that the white people's plans were to kill all the black people no matter what. The racism that this ex-professor had was so powerful, that he specifically quoted that the only solution was to kill all the "white" people.

Middle-eastern Woman criticized by African-American

Racism is well known for black slaves, critisizm of white people, asian, etc. Mostly, when racism is taught, it is about white and black people. However, there are certain times when other races on picked on by different races. For instance, searching through the internet, I came across a clip of the Tyra Banks Show where a Middle Eastern woman and a African American woman was arguing. Tyra asked the African American woman what her first impressions were for the Middle Eastern woman, and she immediately, without hesitation answered, "she looks like a suicide bomber." I does combine with the stereotypes of Middle Eastern people as being portrayed as terrorists, however, this black woman had a side of dislike towards this Middle Eastern Woman.

Stereotypes Journal

In my personal opinion, I think stereotypes are one of the barriers that keep people from being free and peaceful. The stereotypes against differenent races and cultures bring harm and neglect.
When my peers find out that I am full Chinese, immediately they think of a variety of things. Communism, Jjajiang-myun, poverty, etc. In middle school, people called me the "communist" at times and even though I knew it was just a joke, it still hurt my feelings. At a certain point, I didn't want my Chinese nationality, I wanted to be Korean since most of my friends were Korean.
The stereotypes of the Chinese culture and people are mainly focused on communism. Asking anyone in the world, communism would equal Russia, North Korea, and China. They think of us as people without mercy, murdering, and having a dictator that rules everyone else. There are still a few countries that follow this encounters, but China has evolved. China is still a communist country, but it has changed from the expectations.
Searching through the internet, I often enjoy watching the Tyra Banks Show. I enjoy it because Tyra talks about a variety of different things, including: race issues, sexism, religion, etc. There was an episode where Tyra invited a Middle-eastern woman who grew up in the United States. However, because of the muslim outfit she was wearing, people immediately thought of her as a suicide bomber. And so, there was actually a african-american woman who critisized this Middle-eastern woman that she looked exactly like her suicidal brothers from the Middle east. This was certainly a stereotype because if a person has on a turban or maybe a religious muslim outfit, people will immediately remind themselves of suicide bombers, terrorists. They will keep away from these people as far as possible.
Stereotypes may not only bring harm, but it could also ruin a person's life. Seeing and hearing about stereotypes doesn't mean that they are all true.

Demotion of Racism in Commercial

These days there have been many people fighting against the plague of racism. In fact, even commoners have started making their own anti-racism commercials. Not only does this commercial spread anti-racism through television, but also through the internet. The youtube community has grown dramatically over a short time. As a result, it has been made easier for common voices to express their thoughts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isCiIp6uth8&feature=related
Voices of big companies have started to go against racism as well. Companies such as Nike has started going against racism. Voices against racism has really been starting to grow in numbers.

Effect of News on Racism

News channels and newspaper are supposed to be impartial and unbiased, and for the most part these media are showing responsibility in what they show. However, because the audiences trust these media, it becomes a huge problem when the news start to show biased view, especially on racist issue.
One big example would be the Western news on Middle Eastern region. It is no lie to state that the Western news are the biggest news provider. However, CNN and BBC are sometimes criticized for showing visuals and informations that may be biased for the Middle East countries. As a matter of fact, I believe the reason why we always seem to suspect Islamic people is because of the news that we see everyday. How many times do we see Islamic people burning US flags or shooting guns in the air in the news? Although this visual doesn't represent the majority of the Islamic people, the news make it seem like Middle East countries are wrapped in flame of chaos.

Racial Discrimination in Music 2

"Racial Discrimination" by Israel Vibration is another song that demotes racial discrimination. Israel Vibration is a group of Caribbean musicians who plays mostly reggae-style music. By singing "no more racial discrimination," Israel Vibration shows their attempt of trying to reduce discrimination between different races. Listening to a song that is sang by musicians of African descent, the message they try to send seems to be stronger because of their origin.

An advantage that this message receives from this type of music is the showing of emotion. Reggae, among other music, is good for showing particular emotions. In “Racial Discrimination,” it can be seen that the overall emotion is a bit gloomy, yet positive, showing that this situation is terrible, but there is still hope. The disadvantage of this music is, like “Stop the Insanity,” not everyone listens to reggae music. This music can only target the audience who listens to reggae music.

“Racial Discrimination”: < v="1vCXxgwaI90&feature="related">

Racial Discrimination in Music

Unlike songs that promote racial discrimination, “Stop the Insanity” demotes it. Lidy Lee, a singer-songwriter, wrote this song in an attempt to stop the racial discrimination. In all of her songs, Lidy promotes human rights, peace, and saving the Earth. By saying that racial discrimination is an insane action, Lidy make people believe that racial discrimination is non-sense.
Music is a strong medium that is used to send messages. Once listening to a piece of music for few times, the melody gets stuck in your mind that it is difficult to forget. Moreover, music can be heard by different people very easily. By being played in radio, television, or even live, a song can be used to target a specific audience. In that case, “Stop the Insanity” can be sung to people who might have strong sense of racial discrimination. Downside of music is that it can be easily ignored. If the style of music does not match with one's taste of music, it will be easily ignored and not be heard by many people. Lidy Lee, not being one of the most famous singers, will probably be ignored by many people, therefore, the message she tries to send won't be able to get far enough to change people's mind.

“Stop the Insanity”:

Stereotypes journal entry question

People hold stereotypes against that are untrue. Many people think that I am stupid and not good at studying when I am actually okay at it. People expect me to have a 1.0 GPA or a low sat score. In fact, I actually scored pretty high on my sat. Another stereotype people have about me is that I am not a very nice person. I know I might not be the nicest person, but I find it ironic that people can think that I am not a very nice person when I have friends. I hold many stereotypes against people. Even though I suck at math, I still think that Asians are excellent at math. Actually, I think that “true-Asians” (Asians who grew up in Asia their whole life unlike me) are good at math. Another stereotype I have is that I think black people are very athletic. Whenever I see black people from SAHS play basketball at TCIS, I always think we’re going to lose because NBA is consisted of almost all black players. I think stereotypes are beneficial and harmful depending on what sort of stereotype it is. For example, there are racist stereotypes where people assume that Hispanics or African-Americans always work under people. A stereotype like this one can be harmful and very offensive. On the other hand, people assuming that Asians are awesome at math might not be so bad. Maybe it can be in a way, but it is also helpful in a way because that would mean people look at us Asians in good light. I think this because.. well.. because I think this is why.

Racism in Mass Media 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypIbTpnuNgg
Another way mass media forms all these racist stereotypes is through commercials or advertisements. For example this advertisement I found through youtube posted above is a perfect example. The commercial itself seems like a nice commercial but in the end you can see how the black person is depicted as a worker for the white family. This is a stereotype that America's had for a long time. Black people were looked upon as people who worked under a white family. This racist stereotype came to be because black people used to be slaves. Some kids these days hold these stereotypes against black people because of how the media depicts black people.

Minyong's Stereotype

One of the stereotypes that people have about me is that sometimes people think I am talkative. It is true that I can get talkative whenever I get excited or have something to talk about. Yet, most of the times, I don’t talk much at all. I don’t know why people would think I am chatty, but it wasn’t good since it did cause me some trouble. Whenever I am tired, especially in the morning, I rarely talk. However, since people don’t know that, sometimes they think I’m just mad. This caused some misunderstanding between me and my friends; therefore, this stereotype was harmful.

One stereotype that I have against African American is that I think they are all very athletic. Thus, whenever our school has play sport events against other schools, I get intimidated. This stereotype is both beneficial and harmful at the same time. The intimidation that I feel before the game helps me get prepared. Yet, it can affect me negatively by making me lose hope even before the game starts.

Racism in Mass Media

Mass media has always played a important role in shaping the way people look at different races. Because of the media, people hold certain stereotypes for each type of people. For example, in movies and other shows, Korean people are usually portrayed as owners of convinience stores or a laundry place. As a result, everyone holds a stereotype of how Koreans are portrayed. Another well known stereotype held against Koreans is the belief that all Koreans (Asians) are good at math. I can safely say that not all Koreans are good at math due to the fact that I am horrible at math. Racism against black people have been portrayed the most through mass media due to the long history of distrimination between black people and white people in America. Black people are almost always depicted as gangsters, dope dealers, etc. Even when I look at black people, the first thing that comes to my mind is criminal records or dope dealers.

Effect of Movie on Racism 2

This is another movie that I would like to talk about. The movie is called 역도산 and it's a Korean film that was opened in 2004. This film is about a Korean man trying to succeed in Japan as he tries Sumo, a traditional Japanese wrestling. The film is based on an actual man named 김신락 who had to suffer discrimination from the Japanese, but later became very popular in Japan. However, even today, not many Japanese know where he was borned or where he was from. The Japenese media at that time made him as a Japanese person after he became so popular. The reason that I want to talk about this film is because of the way it shows how racism affects a person. As the movie would later depict, 김신락 becomes very selfish and ego-centric after he gets fame in Japan. As I saw this film, I wondered what made him so selfish and what changed him, was it the fame or the money? However, I came to the conclusion that it is actually racism that changed him. Since young, 김신락 had to suffer racism from other Japanese and at a young age, realized that there was no one to support him except for himself. Discrimination made 김신락 to toughen up and taught him the way to survive in a hostile environment. After he gets fame, 김신락 tries to retain these fame and popularity and desperately tries not to lose it. Later in age, he begins to suspect every Japanese that they are all trying to steal his place. Therefore, discrimination made 김신락 into a tough man, but ironically, made him to a selfish, cold person because he had no one to trust except himself.
The movie is unlike other movie that depicts racism. Other movies depict racism on how it becomes a barrier in a minority's life. However, this movie focuses on how racism affect a person's personality and its inner self.

Effect of Movie on Racism 1

I have recently watched this movie called "American History X", which is an extreme racist movie that features NeoNazi member. The movie is about this NeoNazi member who has a white-superiority mind and the movie shows how his life gets worse. Even though this movie was opened in 1999, I couldn't resist not talking about this film. Unlike other most of racist films, this film doesn't talk about how minority group was able to fight against racism. This film is seen in the eye of a racist individual and shows how racist people act toward other people and it shows their life as an extreme racist. The movie is very violent overall and it's R rated so it's not recommended for children. However, the reason why I couldn't resist not talking about this film is that this movie uses violence as the main medium to express racism. This film shows the violent side of racism and explictly shows that racism is an act of extreme violence. As the character in the film would show, violence becomes part of life for racists.

I think one of the most powerful tool that the movie have is the ability to describe it in a vivid way. The visual of the movie and the plot of movie is the most important tool that can move people's heart and their moral. This is why some movies become so controversial. This is also why I believe this movie is a very powerful movie that describes racism in a strong visual way.

Stereotype -Chun Han

People don’t have a lot of stereotypes against me, maybe it’s because I look like Korean. However, when I tell people that I’m Chinese, they began to have certain stereotypes against me. Once, when the taxi driver heard me speaking Chinese, he asked me whether I was Chinese so I replied yes. Then he told me that I should be rich because there’s a stereotype that many Chinese are very frugal so they end up saving quite a lot of money.
As for me, I don’t try to have stereotype about other people because I know stereotypes are most of time untrue and it can be offensive. However, it seems natural to have certain stereotypes about people. Even though I try hard not to have stereotypes, there are stereotypes all over the world, from television, movie, advertisement, and daily life. For example, when I see African American, the first impression is that they are good at basketball and they can rap as well. And whenever I see white people, I always believe they are American even though they could be European.
Overall, I believe that stereotype is harmful in many ways. First of all, our stereotype allows us to make judgments of other people before we even know that people. Another thing is that our stereotype actually molds our perspective on that person. For example, if I have stereotype on Jews that they are all good at making money, then when I see a Jew that isn’t really good at money management, I still perceive that person as a typical Jew. Stereotype also offends a lot of people because stereotypes may not always show positive side. For example, stereotypes that Jews have big nose and Asian have small eyes are all offensive stereotypes.

Tyra Banks Show portrays the life of "White" racists

Surfing through YouTube I found a clip of Tyra Banks Show portraying a family of white racists. The parents were teaching their children about Adolf Hitler as being their leader and savior. They wanted their children to believe that the perfect humans are the ones with blonde hair and blue eyes. Their house was covered with the swastika sign and the only toys that the children had were toy guns, army uniforms, fire crackers, and more. The Tyra Banks Show showed us that the family didn't actually think that they were doing something wrong. They thought that they were doing the right thing 0f believing and following Adolf Hitler and someday leading the world to perfection. It was sad to see the family because they thought that they were the ones that could be the messiah and help the people live in a perfect. I was surprised that there were actually people that still followed Adolf Hitler.

The Internet Effect on Racism

Currently there are numerous issues about racism in the internet. The internet, being everyone's favorite for researching all kinds of stuff, spreads racism in a lot of ways. Recently, in CNN.com there has been an article posting of Obama portrayed in a poorly way. The biggest reason being black. Racism affects a lot of people in different ways. since the internet is used by everyone in the globe, calling a person or a society for being a different kind of person (racist) becomes a global issue that everyone knows. Like this article I have found in the internet, the Obama case has already been featured to almost every country in the world. It has probably affected Obama, presendential candidate, in a hurtful way.

Racism in Movie (Glory Road)

The movie, Glory Road, deals with a Texas Western College’s basketball team which had to recruit African-American players due to lack of funds. The conflict comes from the fact that no college basketball team in Southern states had more than 1 black player in the team during 1960’s. In Texas Western College, Don Haskin, the coach of the team, recruited seven black players. Despite other’s underestimation; Texas Western College was very successful by winning the NCAA championship and by having an impressive record. Yet, the team had to go through serious discriminatory incidents, such as beating, getting things thrown at before the game, and having racial slurs written at hotel walls. The more the team was successful, the more hatred they received. Therefore, there was a one incident where the black players tried to quit playing, however, the coach’s emotional speech bring the players together to win the championship.

The advantage that this movie gets from its medium is, resembling that of Crash’s, the showing of emotion. Being not only a movie dealing with inter-racial issue, but also a sports movie, Glory Road successfully depicts that emotional moment of playing sports, facing racial problems, and winning the championship. While watching the movie, the audience feels like they are actually there watching each basketball game and watching the players overcome one of the most serious issues of that era.

Racism in Movie (Crash)

Crash, an Oscar winning movie released in 2004, deals with various racial discriminations between different groups of people in Los Angeles. USA is a racially diverse country comprised with Asian, African American, Jewish, Hispanics, Caucasian, etc. Therefore, racial discrimination has always been a serious issue in USA. There were riots, war, hate crimes, and many other incidents solely caused by hatred toward the other race. The movie, Crash, shows numerous disputes between people with different race due to ignorance, stereotype, excessive pride, and hate. By watching this movie, you can experience, indirectly, the racism that may affect you.

The medium that is used to send this movie’s message to the world is movie. Movie works perfectly, because racial discrimination can be a dramatic issue that may not be explained with words. Some emotions are best described with the tension created by actors’ action or background music, which can be both shown in the movie. If this was written in magazine article or a book, it will not have been able to send the same emotion that the producers of this movie tried to show the world.

Effect of Music on Racism 2

I found this song that is about how police always seem to manipulate and treat African American with disrespect even though they are innocent. The song is sang by N.W.A and the title is "F**k the Police". Some of the lyrics are "They have the authority to kill a minority" and "thinking every n*gga is selling narcotics." As it can be seen in the title, the song is very violent and the lyrcis are also very violent. This song quite rounds up what many African American thinks about the way polices treat black people. The music violently shows its expression on this issue, but I fear that many who listens to this music would think that every police are that way.
Music is a good medium for expressing racist issue because music has its unique ability to convey feeling and promote certain feeling. As this song shows, music can be used as an effective propaganda tool.

Effect of Music on Racism 1

Here's a link to a rascist music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LzzKdC7_Zg. This is a video of Amy Winehouse singing a rascist song about African American and Asian. Amy Winehouse was in drug during the video, but the fact that she's a well known musician is a problem in this video. The lyrics are explicitly racist and many viewers would be prone to believe that being a racist isn't a big deal. As seem from the comments about this video, some comments are extremely racist and supports being a racist. As a celebrity, what they act and say can become a big effect to the public. Although Amy Wineshouse did apologize afterward, it already affected worldwide people. Music is an effective tool for attention of the public and this song is extremely controversial in its content. Therefore, I believe that musicians should be more careful when they write their songs.

Media Reflection- Erica Chang

The most influential media I find is using the internet. We can find anything on the internet including current events, entertainment, games, etc. Instead of using an encyclopedia, people can use the internet to find anything they desire. Internet is a global network and so, by using the internet I feel like I am closer to global issues and global standards.
The other type of media that I think is influential is the newspaper. The newspaper is simply like pieces of paper that contains the news and announcements of each day. The newspaper is mostly very accurate in details and so people can gain a lot of knowledge just by reading the newspaper. I feel that reading the newspaper helps advance a person’s grammar and vocabulary.
Both the internet and the newspaper are great sources of media that help influence people. They are both used for great researches and used for variety of reasons.

Media Reflection -Chun Han

The form of media that influences me the most is the newspaper. In this comtemporary time, many would treat the newspaper as an obsolete form of mass media, but I believe that newspaper is one of the few mass media that is trustable and accurate. I read the newspaper almost daily and it often molds the way I see the world and think.

The reason I am affected by newspaper more than any other form of media is because I get in contact with newspaper daily, newspapers are permanent, and it's accurate in its articles. In terms of range of effect, internet would hold the power, but as we often realize, many internet sites are not trustworthy and often proves to be fallible. Newspaper, on the other side, is often verified for its accuracy, which is why I find myself leaning toward newspaper for information. For example, when I have to find information about political issues or international issues, the first source that I use is my prior knowledge that was obtained from the articles in newspapers.

Internet

The media that affects me the most is internet. As a high school student, I spend a lot of time researching for information in internet. Moreover, when I am not researching, I surf in the internet to look for information that I am interested in. In my opinion, internet is the combination of all the media. Nowadays, you can watch television; listen to radio, and read newspaper or magazine in the internet. It may not affect everyone in this world, since not everyone knows how to use the internet or cannot afford a computer. However, for me, internet is the source of most of things I know.

Yet, it is surprising to know how much internet can be inaccurate. For example, I used to believe that Wikipedia was very accurate, then, I learned that I was wrong. A lot of work in Wikipedia was done by non-professional writers, therefore, resulting in incorrect data and information. This affected me, since some things that I thought was right were wrong. Therefore, internet can affect me positively by providing me knowledge that I do not know, yet, it can affect me negatively by providing false information.

Mass Media Definition

Mass media is a form of media that is able to target wide ranges of audience. Due to the wide range of effect, mass media is one of the most effective form of communication that affects people's thought and perception of the world. Examples of mass media is the newspaper, tv, radio, magazine, and recently the internet. The most effective type of mass media would be the internet due to the quickness of communication and the fact that everyone from every part of world can get in contact.

Radio

Radio is a part of media that is used to broadcast sound through sending radio waves to transmitters.

Alongside television, radio is another huge part of media. Since there are many genres in radio, depending on the style of music the stations broadcast, radio possesses a large audience. Before television, radio was the major media for broadcasting. Even nowadays, radio still is the major media people uses to gain information or get entertained. Also, it is easy to target specific group of audiences. For example, people in 50's are not likely to listen to hip-hop radio, while people in teens are not likely to listen to country music.

Yet, there are some downsides of radio. When listening radio, people do not always pay close attention to it. Therefore, radio stations might not be able to pass on all the messages they were planning to pass. Furthermore, people cannot refer back if they missed something.

Television

Television is a part of media that is used to broadcast images through sending radio waves to transmitters.

As television was invented, it became a huge part of the media. Most homes in America have one or more televisions, as well as other homes in developed countries. One of the advantages televisions is that it is very visual. By using color, sound, and motion, television can easily send messages through audiences around the world. Moreover, this advantage leads to another big advantage of television. Since it is easy to send a specific message, television can be used to target certain group of people easily. Therefore, it can be said that audience for television can be anyone, making it a great medium for advertising.

Profile

My name is Minyong Chung. I came to TCIS 8 years ago as a 5th grader. I enjoy playing any sports, listening to music, and playing instruments. My goal after graduating is to go to a decent university and major in business, criminal justice, or sport medicine. Those choices came from my dislike toward math in high school. Although I don't think that I am bad at math, I never enjoyed math throughout high school, therefore, I realized that math is not my strength.

Since I spent a long time at TCIS, I experienced many things that I will remember forever. There were many ups and downs that I had to go through both physically and emotionally, yet, I think I have gained more then I have lost.

Newspaper Media

Newspaper is a form of print media along with magazines. In recent years, the growth of internet, tv, and radios have been influential, but newspaper has still retained its popularity among many people. It's no wonder that many people treat newspaper as the most trustworthy media.

Newspapers are distributed daily so it reaches large variety of audiences. Unlike tv and radio, newspaper tends to be permanent, which is why it is still an influential mass media. Although the rapid growth of internet seems to threat the existence of newspaper, it's not likely that it would take over newspaper. Newspaper has been the main form of media for many years and although internet is becoming ever more convenient, the fact that newspaper is delivered daily, and the fact that still many ages of people prefer newspaper can't be dismissed. Furthermore, the form of dignity that newspaper has obtained as the most reliable source of communication is the advantage that newspaper has over other mass media.
