    Composers represent conflicting perspectives through their own unique experiences and values as their political and social contexts. Geoffrey Robertson’s self styled memoir ’The Justice Game’ written in the late 1900’s heavily reflects these conflicting perspectives in the ’Trials of Oz’ and ’The Romans in Britain’ through the employment of emotive and persuasive language and ridicule in the form of satire to which convey Robertson’s view through his eyes.

    American History X I chose the movie American History X because of it’s brutally graphic examples of racism‚ hate‚ and deviance. This movie “crosses the line” of the norm of society and digs deep into theories of prejudice and deviance. American History X shows the importance of what happens when the cycle of affluence is not broken and an impressionable young teen follows in the footsteps of hate. We have all been there it is just to what degree or extreme; the views that we have today on race
