Coach Herman Boone In Remember The Titans

The Civil Rights Movement was a struggle for African Americans to gain social justice. This occurred between the 1950s and 1960s, and was very hard to overcome. At this time, blacks weren’t able to attend the same schools as whites, and be on the same team as them, which showed up in the movie and showed immediate controversy at the beginning of it. In Remember the Titans, the “Titans” are a racially mixed football team with an African American head coach, and a white assistant coach. Music was a binding force for the team, because it made them happy, encouraged them to want to play better on the field, and got them focused on the game, and it gave them a sense of hope through the toughness of racial segregation of some on the team.

In the film Remember the Titans, racial prejudice and stereotypes are evident throughout. At the start of the movie we are taken back to 1971 where we are introduced to the town of Alexandria in Virginia and the new high school that resides in it, as two schools recently combined to form one desegregated student body called T.C. Williams High School. Football is an immense part of this town and for the people residing there. Shortly into the film, head football Coach Bill Yoast, nominee for the Virginia High School Hall of Fame, is demoted to assistant football coach and the school board hires an African American man by the name of Herman Boone to take his place. This starts an uproar in the Alexandria community as desegregation hadn't been

Coach Herman Boone was presenting a patho speech to his football team after a huge fight between the boys. He used the civil war, along with Abraham Lincoln’s speeches to explain to the boys how much a team must be one not

Henri Tajfel (1979) anticipated that the “groups which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world.” (McLeod, Social Identity Theory, 2008) Remember the Titans (2000) is an American sports drama film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Boaz Yakin. It is a true story which started with the integration of black and white students at T.C. Williams High School in Virginia. However further problems emerge as with tensions high, the well known and loved head coach at the school, Bill Yoast, is replaced by a new black coach, Herman Boone. These true events play out in 1971 when school sports are an important value for the community,

Though Remember the Titans contains a heartfelt and genuine message, the movie sacrifices historical accuracy to portray it. Training at Gettysburg, as depicted in the film, was rife with racial tensions and conflicts. Players regularly got into brawls, unofficially segregated lunch tables, and refused to communicate with players of another race. Julius and Gerry 's fight is a prominent example, escalating to the full-on brawl between the team. However, despite the intensity of the player 's prejudice portrayed in the movie, real life tells a different story. According to the original 1971 Titans, there was conflict prevalent during training camp. However, most of the disputes arose from the competitive spirit of the camp- not racial issues

In the movie Remember the Titans, Coach Boone states, that his players need to be unified together as a team, instead of being separated because of the color of their skin. He does this by using allusion, diction, and a rhetorical question.

Many people don't realize it, but the rigorous coaching style of Herman Boone, as displayed in the award winning movie Remember the Titans, should be adopted into today's coaching methods. The movie portrayed how football teaches leadership, as well as, high standards for high school football players.

Violent abuse of the African American race sparked the Civil Rights movement. The movement defined the struggle that people of not only color, but all different walks of life. The integration in schools caused both races to form a realization that they aren’t different through a common interest like football. In Remember the Titans discrimination happens a lot with black students being told to go back home to Africa and during this time of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s and 70’s; this sparked controversy between the adults in this story and were concerned about the future of their kids with these new black families were forced to move into these white neighborhoods during this time. Remember the Titans does indeed depict different forms of hate crimes and racism such as, members of the community racially profiling, people who aren’t extremists, but contribute to the idea of racist beliefs and acts,and people attacking African American families due to forced

The team was divided from the start. He took his team up the hill to inspire them. “You listen. And you take a lesson from the dead. If we don 't come together, right now, on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed -- just like they were.” Coach Boone uses pathos to persuade the team to work together. He uses history and others failure to strike enough fear into the team to actually work together and not as two separate teams. He uses the past to help explain the reason why we work together. This is an example of logos. Coach Boone’s ethos is shown from his experience. He has coach football before and he uses that knowledge to help the team become

In the early years of Disney films there have been a lot of controversial problems about the company’s output in relations to ethnic and cultural diversity. Johnson Cheu states, that “Every author has his or own approach to the filmic history of Disney as it relates to the films they are examining. A board overview of who Disney is or a chorological overview of the nearly hundred years of Disney’s filmic output is unnecessary (Cheu, 4)”. With Walt Disney’s films being a controversial output this allowed Gregory Allen Howard to use the film Remember the Titans as way to portray the message of racial understanding and human compassion. Disney films has been “racialization of humanity that served as the foundation of many theories related

Ethics and integrity are essential components of character for any positive, influential leader.. Both ethics and integrity are skill sets that can be honed over time; however, it is in best practice to have them aligned with personal values which tend to be invariant. Remember the Titans, demonstrates how values can evolve. The Titans bring together a hostile torn community during the mandatory integration processes in Virginia through leaders maintaining their ethics. Not only does the movie depict values along with ethics and integrity, but it also illustrates the core competencies of this pillar. While almost every competency has a representation the three most prevalent are displays open and honest communication, decisions are value-based

The desire to win in leadership sets a context where true beneficial aspects and lessons are learnt and taught. The lessons cover ethical principles and aspects of responsibility, respect, caring, fairness, and trustworthiness. These styles are based on the film Remember the Titans.’ The backdrop in the film presents itself in football and racism which are the aspects that clash with the leadership styles.

How often in the 60’s would we you have the minority of white people on a basketball team? That's what we had happed during the movie Glory Road. We followed a coach who made a team who he thought would win with. We saw them getting crap for the color of the boys on his team. As you watch you see many possible themes but the one that i thought stuck out was courage.

The coach’s actions mainly appeal to logos. He does things that makes the viewers think about the situation. He points out the reason his option about being successful is more than just “winning” a sports game. His speeches appeal to logos. They make people think about why making good grades and getting into college
