American History X The movie American History X is designed to show a better understanding of the serious racism-taking place in America today. The graphic and somewhat upsetting film shows anger and dislike between a “ghetto” black community and a white neo-nazi gang. One of the main ideas in this movie is to show how someone whose whole life has been centered around racism and later he realizes that all races should be treated with equal respect.

American History X is clearly a film dealing with racism. The interesting thing about this film is the way in which the subject is treated. First of all‚ it is obvious that‚ though racism is always a difficult subject to deal with‚ American History X presents it without any reservations or dumming down. Second‚ the film’s figurehead for racism‚ Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton)‚ is not an unintelligent redneck racist as films often portray them‚ but is in fact well-spoken‚ charismatic and intelligent

We have all been there it is just to what degree or extreme; the views that we have today on race

One of the most controversial topics in American History has been the subject of gender equality and the ever changing concept of women’s rights. Overtime‚ it’s actually quite incredible to see how far the American populous has come‚ comparatively with other countries‚ in such a short period of time. Women’s status in America today‚ for all intents and purposes‚ is equal to any man’s. However‚ that has not always been so. The United States has existed for exactly 240 years‚ and over the course of
