A Bronx Tale
In the movie, A Bronx Tale, there are many different ethnic groups seperated based on races, ethnicities and power that individuals express. Much of this power has been inherited from families that pass down the authority and status to their children that continue the development of power. This grotesque behavior was ridiculous when a clan of different races attempted to interact and communicate. The fact that a different race tried to interact in an out of place zone caused massive altercations and diplorable behavior which suggests that our minds train us to act in certain ways based on what we've been taught. Similarly today in many large urban communities of ethnic groups, people stay commited in their little clans and they have much difficulty changing the "norm" and routine of everyday living. This causes any alterations attempted great conflict and anger if actions occur that certain groups don't agree on. It's unbelievable regarding the endless amounts of socially constructed groups we all belong to without thinking about it and to a large extent it controls the actions and choices we make in every day life. This movie has been a wake up call to me and has allowed me to explore my sociological imagination regarding how I want my life to be guided. People need to take control and concideration in order to eliminate main stream society from controlling every choice and path they take in order to attain the scholarly well-rounded role that humans desire. This will also lead to constructing a better rounded world during ones short existence on God's green Earth. The power rests in each one of our priceless hands.

"It's unbelievable regarding the endless amounts of socially constructed groups we all belong to without thinking about it and to a large extent it controls the actions and choices we make in every day life." I totally agree with you on this, because the fact of being with different kinds of groups makes up for who we are. And though we may not recognize it, it surely does. Based on our surroundings makes up for who we are today.
ReplyDeleteYea everything you just said is what i thought, its just so amazing what one Movie can do to your thinking. And when you said this movie was a wake up call to me. when it was for me too. Learning life from a new prospective can change you.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought you needed a wake up call, but cool! I think we all live in our own little clans whether it's in the city, suburbia or countryside. So great advice and nice closing. P.s. thanks again for that Alive and checkout those bonus features.
