I am doing my final project on racial and social tensions in society today. I am comparing it to literature by using 3 movies that deal with racial and social tensions. The 3 movies I picked to write about are Higher Learning, Borat and Crash. I picked these 3 because I think they represent what I am writing about better then any other movie, book, etc.
Borat shows racial and social tensions in a funny way and a way that many people can relate. Crash shows how it actually is in a 3 day period in a city with alot of diversity. Higher Learning shows racial and social tensions in a college invironment where there is also alot of diversity that the students may not be used to.
