WALKOUT The Movie
Nombre: Bryana Martinez
Period: 4
Movie Reflection: “WALKOUT”
The movie “WALKOUT” was a very informative movie on the struggle of mexican americans to gain the rights they deserved. Being that I have family from Mexico, I know that there is a struggle for people to get to the promise land of America. When they get here they deserve the rights everyone else has. This movie showed us how the chicanos fought for that right and used the freedom of speech to get the word out.
As we know, many things we see today in the news today has been altered in a way to favor the majority. The problem is that we don’t hear from those who are not able to send people on the news to speak for them. Instead their voice never gets heard and this could lead to

    Summary Of The Movie Walkout

    The movie “Walkout” is a movie that tells the story of students who struggle in the high school rights that are given to them. The students boycotted the high schools to improve their way of education. This money was an interesting movie that showed the history of “Chicanos” who are also known as people of Mexican descent. The movie did a great job in showing the struggle that the Chicanos had to go through so they could improve the quality of education that was given to them. One part that I especially love about the movie is when the main protagonist of the movie “Paula Crisostomo” was told by her father to never join a boycotting group as it could change her way opportunities. Paula continuously tries to talk with a group of people who want…

    Are You A Biased Tv Biaser Analysis

    Lately, however with the way widespread media has changed the way of receiving information it is difficult to know whether one is simply roaming the internet or actually using it for causes like choosing political candidates. Although this generation, for example, is a bit more open, because for viewers actually getting information are receiving it from multiple sources and take time out to listen to different angles and points of views to the story that contribute to opinions that are not what people say preconceived opinions or ideas. Preconceived notions like ideas and opinions are created beforehand without adequate evidence. These notions are brought for people who are biased, turn sides real quick or even bandwagon. Viewers are brought in with propaganda techniques so they can try to decide quickly upon a side without fully being capable of knowing for sure what the side specifically stand for. As previously mentioned a viewer gets comfortable with frequently watched tv programs and begin to become stubborn with opinions and fail to see actual facts. Why should tv stop people from choosing a direct side, that is where generation z steps in to solve this problem for themselves, surrounded by media, this generation uses some of the ability of holding sources in technology to contradict what it is that tv sources are so afraid of sharing with spectators. That is why more and more teens are choosing sides in between what sources have for viewers to…

    Cesar Chavez: The Farm Worker Movement

    To know that he was capable of moving and getting through all the setbacks that arise makes me feel like I’m capable of enduring any challenges in life. For him to constantly get rejected even by his family shows how strong of an individual he is. It seem like he went through everything that you could go through to create a successful movement from the strikes to the grape boycott to the fast that he endured for 25 days. For someone with the health that he already have last 25 days without food really shows what someone is capable of doing when there mind is set on the goal. The film overall taught me a lot about the Mexican culture and the things that they went through throughout their history in California. I now have a different perspective on farm workers and what it takes to be able survive such horrific circumstances. The presentation made me feel as if I don’t know as much as I should know about history for every race and class throughout our history. This occurred not that long ago and is still an issue in the United States today. We see numerous people working for starvation wages that cannot improve the circumstance that their almost stuck in. It inspired make a change within the area that live and make sure everyone has their rights to the basic necessities of life. It also offended me that we as a nation could treat a group…

    The Documentary 'Matters Of Race: The Divide'

    The documentary, "The Divide", was very informative and enlightening. It focused on a specific area in America (Siler City) and the many effects that race has on it. The video focused on Siler City, North Carolina because it has been a hotspot of racial controversy over the years. Many issues have risen in Siler City that are prime examples if not better examples of problems involving race throughout the country. The Mexicans that are immigrating to Siler City are doing so mainly to work and provide a better life for themselves or their families. In Mexico they are not able to work throughout the year because their crops are in seasons. If the Mexicans…

    Public Opinions In Fahrenheit 451

    When you turn on the television you see public opinions. When you turn on the radio you hear public opinions. When you read a magazine you see public opinions. If public opinions are constantly surrounding us wherever we look, that means they have complete control over our life. Public opinions from television shows, political figures, talk radios, entertainers and magazines do not help us become better people and instead stunt our growth. If we want to develop our minds without the impact of society’s public opinions, we need to remove ourselves from seeing as many public opinions in our life as possible because these opinions are not worthwhile and neither do they help express the opinions of the democratic values. Personal opinions are…

    Free Speech for Sale

    Under the constitution, every American has the right of free speech, but does free speech matter if no one can hear it? “Free Speech for sale” reveals the painful truth that free speech, and the certainty that one will be heard, is guaranteed only to those who can afford it. And corporations can afford it. Whether through purchasing massive amounts of advertising for political purposes, or by owning the companies that bring people the news, powerful corporations are able to drown out the voices that disagree with them - and it's all perfectly legal. To me, this situation calls into question how true our democracy really is. Are we as the voters receiving the thorough information we need to make decisions? Or are we being fed censored or biased news, and just eating it up without asking any questions?…

    Dissent Vs disagreement

    “Dissent is the great problem of America today. It is a symptom, an expression, a consequence, and a cause of all others.” Dissent is a symptom of past action and has become the reason for all other symptoms. As previously stated above, the United States thrives on disagreement, the dispute between our two political parties. These groups feel as though they are the majority, which is true because neither is a minority. Take for example the government shutdown; the Democrats argued that the people is required to get health insurance; while the Republicans argued that people should not be required to get health insurance. This would remove the Affordable Care Act. This is what happens when one party…

    How the News Spoon Feeds Negativity to Society

    There’s no mystery that the news has a role to play, which is providing the most current and meaningful events that are taking place in today’s society and keeping everyone updated. However, the news and media in general seem to focus in on dangerous and violent things that take place. Making our society appear to be at the point of anarchy. I remember growing up and never wanting to watch the news. I think back now and realize I didn’t like the news because it was always filled with not only violence and sadness, but hate and fear. Myrna Blyth author of the “Female fear factor” points out that, “The media after all, pays the most attention to issues and situations that most frighten the readers and viewers.”(145). While it is no secret that violence and stories that promote fear receive higher ratings, how far are we willing to go until the picture the news creates becomes a new reality.…
