Crash Paper

Crash displayed various aspects of racism and stereotypes that occur everyday. unity of the three major scenes in the movie that stood turn out was when the two ships ships officers aspirate over a black couple. Obviously theyve d ace nonhing on the whole harmful, reckless or dangerous. The leading officer claims the wife was performing falatio, opus operate a vehicle, which could be a form of reckless driving and can be penalized for it. In fear of sanction, and in all respect, the economise complies as polite as feasible to the officers de human raceds. While doing so, the officer is responding in the rudest manor.He asks the officer if its okay to reach in the glove department for his paperwork and the officer replies with a very suspicious yeah nice and slow. nowadays on the other hand, the other officer takes no part in what goes on next because he knows whats right and unlawful, hes deemed the good cop. The leading officer comes back to test him if hes drunk and d riving and he wasnt. Complying with the officer at one time again, he did it. His wife, a little drunk, tries to explain in a debauched manor that theyve done nonhing wrong and what hes doing is wrong.Feeling an undermining to his authority, he stirs angry and as she gets out of the car to confront him he tells the couple to turn near and place their hands behind their heads. As he pats down his wife, he grabs her inappropriately and asks what should be done since what theyve done can technically be seen as a crime. Coming back to complying to an authoritarian figure out of fear and recognition of authority, her husband had one of two choices he all couldve spoken up, done something virtually it and got arrested or kept quiet, let him do what he knew was wrong and be let off with simply a warning.Thinking that he would not win over an authority figure like the cops word, he didnt say anything and let it happen. This situation brings up The Authoritarian character from one of the theories of prejudice in which the man complied to everything the officer asked for by just cosmos or even just looking to be an authority figure. Also, the officer shows that intolerance and aggression as one would to those who dont conform as well, as you would see in The Authoritarian Personality. Theres an automatic fear that comes to flock when they think of the police.Its the fact that theyre given that title of an officer of the law that leaves you unbiased to think anything he does is ok and even though you know its wrong sometimes, you dont have the courage to say it cause youre not supposed to. Its not the norm of society. The second scene is where two black men bye out of the restaurant and the first one is the one that loads everything bad possible on his misfortune of being black. He continues on to complain about how since hes black he had to wait a lot longer than the albumin people that were there being served.As he complained about what he didnt get bec ause he was black, his friend reminds him that he didnt even want what he was quetch for and its not cause theyre both black. As his friend starts to make his case, he also reminds him that the waitress was indeed black and they werent racially prejudice. But he goes ahead anyways to continue blaming his skin color and that the waitress presumed that since they were dressed a certain way and talked a certain way they werent going to tip, so she waited a little longer to serve them.These are all examples of thwarting and Scapegoating from one of the theories of prejudice. It shows his need to blame white people for his personal shortcomings and misfortunes, such as waiting a long time to be served and being looked at as a threatening figure in society. Although, he wasnt going to tip anyways and he and his friend are car-jackers. Its crazy and juiceless how hed think that. And if there was such a stereotype, then why not beat it.To make it worse, he lived up to those same stereot ypes and continued to blame other things. In the last scene, a nitty-gritty eastern family man has a business which is his only source of income. From past experience and golosh reasons he tells his, more educated and literate, American daughter to buy a gun for the stores protection and his own. He orders a goose to come in and change the locks as well, but the problem happens to be the door and not the locks. He hires a technician to change the locks and he happens to be Hispanic.The Hispanic technician is a father of a five year old girl that move out of his old neighborhood for her safety and a better upbringing. A couple days after, the two get into a fight, in which the middle eastern store owner screams at him for not changing the locks lag the door is the one that needs a replacement, as the technician tries to explain. As the air sprouts, the technician just wants his money and wants to leave but the owner doesnt pay him and in anger he leaves.The next day the store g ets torn apart, robbed and vandalized in all kinds of ways and now the store owner is left with nothing and his life is ruined. In anger and to gain vengeance, he takes the gun and presently assumes it was the lock technician that left in anger from the other day. As one of the theories of prejudice, selective perception, is portrayed here when he automatically assumes it was the Hispanic guy that talks a certain way and has visible eye-catching tattoos.Coming to an immediate conclusion that it was him, he goes to his house and asks for his money for the store and fires the blank gage exactly when his daughter came in between. Both were left in shock, to only find out that it was a blank bullet. He had no severalize that it was him but just because he was Hispanic and looked like he would do something like that, he came to a conclusion that it was him. Ironically, the guy was the nicest man and an unlikely father and proved his selective perception wrong. Assuming is a answer to a kind of prejudice as well and this scene was a great example.
