I would like to start by saying that‚ I really enjoyed watching the movie CRASH‚ some of the things shown in the movie are very realistic and much of it can’t even be put into words. Two of the behaviors that I noticed most‚ are prejudice and stereotyping. It was the cause of where all the events eradicated from. These behaviors are viewed as thoughts and feelings that almost everyone has felt more than once. This movie shows us the different point of view
