The movie Crash is a very interesting and compelling movie that showed some social problems like racism and stereotypes that occur in everyday life. The movie starts off a day later from the present when a Det. Graham Waters is at a scene of a crime and just got a look at the victim which happen to be his own brother (revealed at the end of the movie). The movie then goes on to follow a variety of characters such as Det. Graham Waters, Sgt. John Ryan, Ria (Det. Waters’ partner), D.A. Rick Cabot and his wife Jean, Cameron Thayer a Hollywood director and his wife Christine, Anthony who steals cars with his friend Peter (who is Det. Waters’ brother), a Persian family, a Hispanic family, and officer Tom Hansen. The film goes on to show the experiences of racism and stereotypes these people endure over a two day period. The movie was very exciting and showed some social problems that still happen today. It went deep into the context of how people still…

The screenplay Crash, talks about character Cameron Thayer who is a fictional black man that is well educated and comes from a wealthy family (Haggis). He is pinned to be a troublemaker by a cop because of the color of his skin and is pulled over. He and his wife are taken advantage of as the cop inappropriately checks them for weapons or illegal substances. When stereotypes like these are put into affect, they can cause serious emotional harm. White writer P. McIntosh also relates to these assumption in his essay stating, “I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race” (McIntosh 1). McIntosh believes that many blacks are taken advantage of and he has the privilege, as a white, not to worry. White people do not have to deal without the privilege they especially have when it comes to the law. The connotations of ones race can be thrust upon them even if they do not wish…

“Please fasten your seat belt sir.” The voice of the flight steward woke me back from my reverie. After what seemed like thousands of years, finally I was taking a long break from my official and marital stress. I just couldn’t stop day dreaming about how perfect my vacation in Hawaii would be! As my flight took off, the excitement grew even further to feel the warm, sandy beaches sparkling in the sun, the sweet smelling pine trees and the luscious aroma of Pena Coladas, which would be welcoming me in a short while. I was so glad to leave back my chaotic life, which had made a person as carefree as me stress out at the drop of a hat, that all the fuss and the children whining around me just didn’t seem to matter at all.…
Everyone makes mistakes. No matter who you are, I would venture to say that there’s been at least one time in your life when you’ve done something and wished you would have approached it differently. It’s just a fact of life that things don’t always work out the way that they are intended to. Especially the first time around, or when it’s something new. Like when you’re a child growing up and you trip over your loose shoe string that you forgot to tie, and fall down and scrape your knee. Or when you take a wrong turn down a long road and end up farther away from your destination than planned. Things like this happen all off the time. As you go through life, you will make mistakes, which is perfectly normal. The most important thing, is that you learn from them.…

I used to be the kind of person who thought nothing could ever hurt me, until a usual morning turned into a disaster, which made me realize that life can be taken abruptly. My event is my car accident. After waving goodbye to my parents, I was off to work on a beautiful evening. It was August 2, 2002 I worked at Burger Kind which was in Perrysburg, Ohio. I remember listening that day to Alanis Morisette, looking at the beautiful wild daisies freshly blossoming on the side of the road. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a loud noise, which was the driver's side tire blowing out. That's when everything spun out of control. I remember hearing the air bag bursting out then lost control. I headed straight for the ditch and end for end my convertible two times and smashed into the ditch upside down the opposite way I was going. Soon after the convertible started to roll, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, my front half of my body was in between the front seat with my head in the back seat. A neighbor who was checking his field saw the entire event and rushed to help me. He called 911 for me once they arrived they had to use jaws of Life to get me out of the car which was in the ditch. A few minutes after I hear life flight landing. Within minutes, I was in the trauma center at Toledo Hospital. Later, I was in my room with minor injuries and stayed for observation. After that day, I came to realize that life is too precious to be taken for granted. I try to take each day and make it worthwhile. When my history teacher gives me reading homework, I rejoice in the fact I am here to read it at all, and that I can learn, instead of being a vegetable in the hospital like so many are after terrible car accidents. A doctor told me that I was lucky to be alive. Now, I live every day like it is my…
