Ethical Issues In Remember The Titans
Remember the Titans

Probably one of the best movies in the early 2000s, not only because it is a fantastic story about the glory win of a high school football team. It is the movie “Remember the Titans”. In my opinion, “Remember the Titans” shows that it doesn’t matter where you come from, which skin color you have, or even how smart or strong you are. You are always respect as a person. But there are a lot of ethical decisions made in that movie, because of that different mix of persons and the time it plays in. I’m going to explain three of the ethical decisions that people made in “Remember the Titans. There is one scene at the beginning of the movie where the whole team was on a field trip to achieve their team spirit. Coach Boone

    Case Study The Concussion Crisis In The Nfl

    My case study was the concussion crisis in the NFL. I believe the ethical moment was when Mike Webster died and it was discovered the he had CTE. At this moment when the connection between football the CTE was first proposed, that was the moment that action needed to be taken. Due to the NFL taking a defensive or denial approach many more players suffered and feared of having or possibly having CTE. I believe I would have made a public statement, the reason for the NFL to not make an official release was money driven. While it would have been difficult, a pay check and reputation is not worth more than a person’s…

    Bring Back The Dinosaurs: Ethical Analysis

    Genetic engineering would be another ethical dilemma in bringing back the dinosaurs after they became extinct animals. There was a reason why natural selection took them off the face of the earth. The scientists took the DNA of dinosaurs from a mosquito that they found underground after it was fossilized in amber. With regard to what was said in the movie the scientists used frog DNA to fill the gaps between the dinosaurs DNA. It would have many scientists intrigued by this genetically engineered animal that was brought back to life but it would also have a lot of people scared if they somehow got their research stolen.…

    How Is The Star Trek Universe Ethical

    The ethical values that can be seen within the Star Trek Universe can be different for every person watching any of the series. Certain morals are represented by different characters. Stoicism is an ethical code that can be seen on the surface of characters like Spock, Data, and Worf, but throughout the series it is obvious that their stoicism is only skin deep. The characters within the Star Trek Universe act only for the good of being able to make themselves feel better about helping others. They are unwilling to endure pain if there is an easier way for them to solve their problem. The characters throughout the Star Trek Universe pursue pleasure rather than endure without emotion.…

    Basketball and Coach Dale

    Coach Norman Dale embodied a number of personal characteristics which enabled him to be the quality leader he was in the movie Hoosiers. His toughness, optimism, motivation, farsightedness, and self confidence assisted Coach Dale in gaining the loyalty of the team and the attention of the town. They also helped him to change the losing ways of the early team into the state champion team they ended up to be. Additionally, a number of environmental factors played a role in his success. The almost religious fervor of basketball in Indiana, the quasi-anarchist environment of the town's men, and the fact that Hickory was a small town all played vital roles in Coach Dale's success.…

    Remember The Titans Character Analysis

    “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” -- Ambrose Redmon Consequently, the soul stirring and heart wrenching motion picture of “Remember the Titans” depicts so eloquently the sacrifices one has to make to stand up firmly in support of their most cherished, morally sound beliefs, and for some it causes him or her to examine whether their beliefs are worth preserving. Thus, this tale of tremendous victory against overwhelming odds is an excellent reminder that valor is a virtue that overpowers paralyzing fear. Because of integration, T.C. Williams successfully merged two high school football teams into one team, which became an unstoppable force in Alexandria, Virginia…

    Organizational Behavior - Remember the Titans

    Set in 1971 Alexandria, Virginia; High school football is the town's most popular sport. The school board is under a court order to integrate the public schools. In the process of integration, tension amongst individual in school becomes high. This film is a perfect concoction of two elements: a coup of an underdog sports team and a successful assimilation of high school football team in general. The interaction of two coaches, a black and a white, is quite a challenging part. Both Coach Boone and Coach Yoast had struggle to overcome their personal dilemma and worked for the betterment of their team. Although reluctant at first, Yoast accepted the demotion and conspired with Boone to produce a winning team! The sub-story between Gerry Bertier, Titan's white team captain, and Julius Campbell, an aptitude black player is also remarkable. It confirms that strong friendship can be forged despite the racial hatred plaguing the community.…
