Many of the speakers are frustrated at the fact that systemic racism is still very much alive, yet they remain professional. They discuss issues and problems in detail to give the audience a full understanding of the topic. Because of this and their desire to be direct, glossing-over details and censorship does not occur.

Throughout history, individuals have deliberated on social issues faced in society through their works of literature. During the 1960’s, the United States consisted of sparks of change that impacted an individual or the society.

I thought that “ I Have a Dream” by Dr. Martin Luther King jr. made a bigger impact or was more compelling than Susan B. Anthony’s “Woman’s Right to Suffrage”. MLK uses his powerful word choice to give a voice to the voiceless and power to the weak. MLK’s central idea is that racism is terrible and it needs to change for the better for everyone, everywhere. The first main idea is racism is ridiculous and it need to stop being put up with.

These moments also show exploitation and opportunity hoarding. The Help also explains historical context of the inequality that occurred during that time period.
Many times researchers doing reviews end up with a chronological catalog of all of the relevant sources reviewed instead of an evaluation that integrates previous research together explaining how it integrates into the proposed research program (Wang et al., 2015). Poor literature review fails to capture all sides of an argument and tends to be bias, avoiding to critically mention areas of agreement and disagreement (Shipman, 2014).

These three theories will be further discussed in detail in this movie analysis. Firstly, racism is portrayed strongly in the movie. Racism occurs due to stereotypes related to racial issues.

The series, `the walking dead` has been a paper I wanted to write about, although people have different opinions on what the movie is about. I find it involving quick the mix of politics, survival, psychology, and power. The show teaches us what humans are capable of doing especially when their lives are being threatened.

Each character in the movie has a different philosophical standpoint that made the movie interesting as well as applicable in the real world.
