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.
