The film “remember the Titans” is directed by Boaz Yakin. This film is based on a true story of the explosive events that took place in Alexandria, Virginia. In April of 1971, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling that ended all state-imposed separation in public schools. The European American head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African American coach, Herman Boone from North Carolina.

The biggest fight occurs between the white captain, Gerry Bertier and black player, Julius Campbell. On the success of Boone achieving racial harmony on the team, the teammates become close friends.

In James Baldwin’s essay, Stranger in the Village, he depicts a distant village that has become isolated from outsiders, however, strangers are welcome into the village. Having little distractions, Baldwin finds an ease at mind for focusing on his writing. However, being isolated does have fallbacks. For instance, upon visiting the village, the residents were so unfamiliar with African Americans, which caused many people to stop and view him. Some would put their “hand on my hand, astonished that the color did not rub off” (65). However, as some may see this to be offensive, Baldwin exclaims that how he is a stranger to them, and how they are viewing him through curiosity, as expressed in this quote, “The children who shout Neger! have no way

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.

In the movie Remember The Titans, this movie is about a high school football team that is trying to get past racial segregation based on blacks and whites. In the beginning, the white and black players and coaches are very separated, even sitting at different lunch tables during lunch and dinner. Soon though, as the team begins bonding, the segregation goes away and vanishes, due to strong coaching and leadership, although there are a few hiccups.

It is important to learn how to communicate well and how to build a healthy and positive interpersonal relationship with others. Like the textbook’ name “Looking Out Looking In”, we looked in the communication itself, looked out the language barrier, nonverbal messages and effective listening, and looked at relational dynamics.

“Communication is the key to a successful relationship, attentiveness, and consistency. Without it, there is no relationship,” (Bleau). The Joy Luck Club is a novel written by Amy Tan.

Culture is a very vast and complicated term. As a result, it is extremely difficult to provide an all encompassing definition. In layman terms, culture is used to refer to symbolic markers used by societies to differentiate and distinguish themselves from other societies. These symbolic markers range from religion to customs and traditions to something as basic as language and clothes. Basically culture is a way of living. However, in sociological parlance, in the words of E.B.Tyler ‘Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.’
