Diversits]y in Remember The Titans

In the film Remember The Titans, African American football coach is sent to Virginia to take over as Head Coach of a All League team and lead into the summer practice with a new team that will be segregated for the first time in a High School. As he arrives he is put into the black side of the community in a nice home above average, and once trying to get into the school and learn everything about it, he finds out he took the head coaching job form a coach who has been there for many years, and raising a daughter. The new coach Denzel Washington had asked many of the previous coaches to stay and help out in the new season but many disagreed and left. Even the players took manners into their own hands of the previous coach, by even threatening to quit the team and fight some of the other African American teammates. Summer ball took place and Denzel Washington was able to convince the previous head coach to come back and assist the team as multiple positions. Denzel Washington had set up a new team but there still was trouble in the team and leading into Hell Week it created changes both good and bad.

As hell week began all the team said goodbye to their families for a week where they were to begin hell week and live with two whites and two blacks in every single dorm. At first they noticed nobody would talk to each other even on the field starters would not defend the other if they were not the same race as them and it led to fights on and off the field. Denzel punished the team with late night runs, conditioning, and organizing seats for them to sit together. Some whites didnt even care about the race and got along, but it took a while for the entire team to get along and by the end of hell week everybody on the team looked past their race and got along as brothers. Throughout the season they got much crap as they were a diverse team going off against all white and all blacks schools, coaches, players, students from the town were targeted by many just cause the team was diverse. The influence this team had of whites and blacks getting along brought many together, it influenced many schools and people, as the season concluded there were still people who did not accept this blacks and whites getting along but it didnt matter, they were a team, both coaches and players created something that will be remembered in history.

Diversity in Jane The Virgin

In the show Jane The Virgin, we follow the struggle of a Latina woman growing in LA, having to deal with family, work, social life, and relationships. As it is on the second season of the show, Jane has gone through much fear, pain, fights, and diversity to try and reach her goal of becoming a writer. Jane The Virgin is more or less a Telenovela a Soap Opera and it involves all type of ethnicity and diversity in people throughout the show and all contradict Jane's life. The show as a Telenovela brings more audiences of different cultures and ethnicity to watch the show s i both conflict with English and Spanish. Jane The Virgin has white actors playing a big part in Jane's life as well as wealth, power, villains, and trouble in paradise with Jane. In the season going on right now Jane had to first deal with her newborn baby being stolen straight from the hospital. Her family which are Mexicans, all react in the same typical way of overreacting, making the scene about the themselves, while the men in Jane's life er father, boyfriend number 1 and boyfriend number 2 not sure about what to do. The diversity in the show is broken when Jane decided to go out and do something about her missing son, regardless of having given birth to him a couple of hours ago. A mother would do anything for her children, but notice how in a show where a Latina mother has to deal with a villian while choosing between two men in her life Typical telenovela model but with a Latin twist of religion, culture, and struggle of raising children in a tight household.

The diversity being shown in the show are the roles of every person. Jane's father just happens to be a Telenovela sar and is constantl out of the house and was not always there for Jane while growing up. Struggling, Jane really did not have a father figure which portrays in many other races as well, but that Mexicans have poor father figures, or are cowards who are never there for their family but just lazy laying around while drinking beer. In conclusion the diversity in Jane The Virgin contradicts and breaks racial profiles as the show proves another side of Latina acting involving real life problems that are shown only in white typical show households, imaginary if so. Jane The Virgin is one of the first Mexican based show winning a Golden Globe Award after its first season and it has influenced and showed diversity in film/acting to many throughout the world. Jane The Virgin will continue to break diversity rules in the show as sh takes stands on who is involved around her life in the show and portraying the loving, caring, genuine, Latina mother, many mistake s loud, obnoxious, rude, and unjustified people Latina women really are.

Diversity in 42

In the film 42, we see the perspective of Jackie Robinson and everything going on in his time involving racism, gender and race role, diversity in school, sports, and everywhere pretty much. Jackie Robinson is the first African American to be a part of Major League Baseball, and throughout all the films, books, newspapers, tv programs, we all truly did not see what all were hiding of the truth of how Jackie Robinson dealt or went through all these things and how dismantled the system truly was. In the 1930's Civil Rights groups, communist, Negro Press, and white activist all began campaigns to integrate the game of baseball. It was more or less a type of movement for discrimination in housing, society and jobs. All lead for a federal anti-lynching laws, boycotts against stores who were segregated, marches for blacks to join WWII. A term at the time used by many white shop owner was "Dont shop where you cant work", which created many hate crimes and distruption of those who were colored even just walking the streets at any time of the day.

Many people in matter of time always wish they could go back and live in the 50's 70's and 90's, but do not realize the chaos and harm the people had to go through at those times. Making a difference is something, but living without doing anything is something else as we are raised to accept people and who they are, once given the right to speak freely of our mind, the sky has no limit. Seeing someone struggle, is the least thing we want out of this world, only time and ourselves can make up for the past mistakes and create hope for what has yet to come.

Diversity in Rugrats

In the TV Show/ Films of Rugrats we see the capability of babies living life with each other and their families having fun and growing up together. It isn't until we see the background of each family that we begin to see diversity in the men and women or relatives of each of the children. Tommy, the leader of the babies has a stay at home mom and and his father a Inventor/Architect who struggles to even hold a job while his wife stays at home taking care of Tommy and his friends. Stu Pickles, Tommy's dad has been working in and out as a inventor and could not hold up jobs one after another, we see the diverse of women and men as even Tommy's mom "wears the pants around the house"keeping it in order but not even trying to get a job herself. Later we see the other parents of Tommy's friend all washed up in work some fathers struggling even staying at home, and the mother of Angelica is a lawyer who pushes around Angelica's father as well as she makes more money than him.

Later throughout the series we begin to see more diversity in Race a Black family and a Japanese single mother with children are introduced to Tommy and his friends and the stereotypes began to grow. The Black family appeared to struggle alongside with Tommy's parents but the father had a funny laugh and always made jokes out loud and being the funny one of the group. The Japanese woman with her child was portrayed as her husband being a deadbeat know how women are escorts "Shimushu" in the Japanese culture. All play different roles from diverse in family events, job roles, children growing, environment, it all concluded from the beginning of time how stereotypes and diversity played a big role even in young television shows for children it influenced many young children and families to play the roles of society and continues to grow and lead to diverse roles in men and women in the world.

Diversity in Stand and Deliver

In the film Stand and Deliver, we see the lives of a class full of Mexican American Students, who's teacher does his best to influence each of them to take the SAT and get into a good college, which leads to only about 15-20 kids left in the class, all struggling with gangs, families, work, and each other. Edward James Olmo plays a teacher who see's the lives of each of his student every single day, from gang rivalry fights during school, to physical abuse from events at home and relations of children leading to misconduct between students. The diversity throughout the film in both men and women of Latino race grew to influence many Mexican Americans. The connection of the families, gangs, struggle with school in both the young men and women played a major role of what people actually thought how hard Mexican Americans worked, and created a sense of role of men and women not just in this race but other cultures affected by it. Edward James Olmo did a fantastic job in showing the diversity of both men and women growing to be better in the Mexican Culture rising to expectations and rising to what men and women are meant to do regardless of what anyone else says.

In some events in the movie, we follow a young man named Angel Guzman who is in a gang and his members are in the same class as Edward James Olmo's class which is meant to last for only those who wish to succeed and grow in the program, but eventually he catches onto the members and drops them leading to Angel to leave his gang and his members creating much trouble for him and his reasons to even try to get out of the gang and get a better future. The diversity young Mexican men of being forced into gangs due to the environment is what keeps stereotypical assumptions of all races, creating hope and proof that anyone can change and greater themselves from what there is thought and assumed of them in the world, diversity in men and women will end and there is living poof of it today as many will excel in themselves to change and create a better tomorrow for those who are waiting to change,

Diversity in Zoot Suit

In the film Zoot Suit, we follow the steps of Henry Reyna, a 18 year old Zoot Suiter, who has decided to join the navy and leave his gang. The time is early 1940's, where the diversity in Mexican American's and whites continued to grow as gang affiliated violence grew to disrupt citizens and the law every single day. From the beginning of the movie we see an alter ego of himself, more evil and doing what he wants alongside him. In the film wee see gang violence that leads to Henry Reyna and his gang to be sent to jail, where they are put against the odds and the court, jury, police, are all to get them put in prison for a long time. In the court room, there is already diverse and prejudice toward the Hispanic men who are being falsely charged with murder and must continue to stand down while the judge does not let them speak for what they are being accused of. A woman named Alice, who is a communist Jewish woman, has fought for cases like this involving race, unequal rights, and discrimination of any type.

The Zoot Suiter riots took place while Henry and his gang were in prison, and it created mayhem, sailors would beat men of color for no reason and take their women. While the war was going, in LA the gang and white violence grew, gangs actually wanted to join together to fight the sailors, but pride and respect got in the way regardless of color. As the months progress the case keeps on getting more and more publicity leading it to be dropped. The diversity of religion, ethnicity, appearance, and language each person in the film had was directed to every single one of them. In the end once they were released, the press was confronted by them, and they called Henry and his gang "Zoot Suiters" but the real term they wanted to use against those of brown skin or Hispanics, was Chapaco, dirty Mexicans, to try and drive them out. Eventually, the charges and acquisitions formed were ridiculous enough to be forgotten and ended the Zoot Suit Riots.

Diversity In Focus

In the film Focus, Will Smith is a Con Artist who has a little organization that steals jewelry, wallets, bags, ID's, credit cards and live off it, as their day job every single day. Will Smith is the ring leader in the film, his organization takes place in very discrete areas, moving place to place, Football Games to Baseball Games to Horse Races, where all the people involved in those things have debts to be settled. Throughout the movie, wee see portrayals of both men and women black, white, Chinese, all play a part of this game. From distracting a single person, a group, gambling, lying all for the one good thing they all want which is money. A blonde woman in the film who is Will Smith's right hand, is portrayed a s a beautiful dumb blonde who would attract men and get them to go their apartment with them, then the second inside man would break in and say "That's m wife" and steal the man's ID, Wallet, Credit Card Numbers, all in under one hour so that they can withdraw as much money as they can without getting traced. Another portrayal of diversity in men and women is Will Smith, he is seen at a party being loud, obnoxious, funny, and ready to fight the host, as a diversion. Later he encounters a Chinese Man who he gambles with and they end up wagering up to 2 million dollars, where Will Smith set up everything, to the song they would listen to, where he would be sitting, his hotel room, all ended in the Chinese man choosing one player off the field, and Will Smiths girlfriend had to pick a random number and he choose unwillingly, not even knowing Will Smith had scammed the man for 4 million dollars.

The way men and women worked in this film play in power, loyalty, romance, and crime all lead up to what role men and women are continuously portrayed as throughout time. Con Artist are very well known for what they do and it is still to this say continuing to use stereotypes of men and women to achieve wealth. Yes, people are forced into that type of business, but in film we rarely see the different racial background of people in these films, when was the last time you would see a movie like this involving White Americans, but nope, in this film we also see Drug Lords, Prostitutes, all non American, but different ethnicity than American. This film has a strong portrayal of how men and women are involved as being Con Artist, and it brings back villains being portrayed in different races as well, but it maintains our diversity on who men and woman are portrayed as, continuing to differentiate but still have race diversity in films today.
