In the movie Crash, a voiceover says: “We are always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that connection so much that we bump into each other just to feel something. Crash is a mirror and reflection of who we are as individuals. Each of us has many tasks to do in daily life and we meet many people without realizing that we are connected. The results of these social interactions are often accompanied by violence, racial discrimination, and power struggles. We start judging people based on their common appearance and start grouping them. Stereotypes and misperceptions of people create these conflicts and ruin our society today, just like a car accident. Stereotypes are violent. During the movie, when Officer Hansen and Officer Ryan are on duty looking for a particular stolen vehicle. Ryan decides to stop a black SUV. Inside is an interracial couple. The whole situation changes when he decides to raise their hands and place them against the car. The couple, Cameron and Christine, are both convinced and have no choice but to follow the officer's orders. Within moments, Christine is sexually harassed and abused by Officer Ryan while he is searching her. Officer Ryan stops the couple for no reason. The couple is discriminated against and treated with much pain and abuse. It is a wrong action. The officers here do not do their job of caring, protecting and regulating people. Rather, in this case, they abused these innocent individuals and, more importantly, these officers lost their trust and respect. Stereotypes lead to misjudgments and often influence sexual violence on groups of people. Stereotyping has become another form of racial discrimination. From the case of Officer Hanson, we realize that it is... at the heart of the paper... we must always think carefully and be careful about what we say. The stereotypes throughout the film created chaos. People are in danger and misled. Stereotypes lead to sexual abuse, racial judgments and power conflicts. These are negative influences on individuals in which they are categorized and grouped to be more easily discriminated. People are people. We are all the same and come from similar experiences. We must realize that we are all human and it should not be a part of our life to judge badly at first sight. We need to improve, be more aware of others and always keep an open mind. Avoiding stereotypes improves our society and our cultures from every person to every group. At the end of the day, we are equal and we are all connected. Works CitedCrash. Director Paolo Haggis.
