I also learned about how the history of law has been continuously used to hold minorities down. I learned a lot more about how the USA used their power to hold back black movements like the Black Panthers. The movie really opened my eyes to the history of america. I was not aware of the history of the criminal justice system and how

Someone’s race doesn’t define whether or not they are violent; it is an individual’s actions that determines

    political‚ and theoretical foundations of our current criminal justice system. Many articles we read‚ and the documentary we saw includes the impact of slavery‚ segregation‚ and the war on drugs and I do agree with what Angela Davis states in the film 13th‚ “historically when one looks at efforts to create reforms‚ they inevitably lead to more repression.” It sheds light on the fact that our criminal justice system is far from perfect.

    love for the book rather than the movie. Having read the epic Beowulf and watched the movie Beowulf and Grendel (Gunnarsson)‚ There are many differences in both.

Grendel and Beowulf differ from that of the epic in ways in which Grendel is almost
