Christopher Lewis Boyz in the Hood
War and violence is a prevalent part of our society. Urban war happens all over America, creating violence between races, genders, and social classes. Boyz in the Hood represents the inner city warring culture of LA. This movie reminded me of my experiences in Newberg, OR. Our town was in the lower economic class and had a lot of hispanic feuds, along with drug problems. The problem of young minorities finding their place in America leads to many issues, usually becoming a problem degrading the community and making things worse for the generations to come. This movie shows how those who can make it out may not be able to do to certain situations, and those who can't make it out make things worse for others. It reminds me of the problems the US had trying to fix poor foreign countries when it has problems on its own soils where these communities are as much foreign as those outside of the US.
