If Hollywood tried to make a movie out of the Freedom Riders' attempt to end segregation, it would be unlikely that their rendering would be as authentic as the Freedom Riders documentary. Details might be changed in Hollywood, such as how Martin Luther King was afraid to incite violence by promoting the movement. In Hollywood, the filmmakers might even try to make him appear as a relentless hero who establishes no boundaries to achieve his goals. This distortion would result from the fact that filmmakers like to appeal to the audience by telling them stories that have a happy ending, or fulfill expectations. These stories are sometimes inaccurate in movies, because the events depicted will be altered so that the story has a defined structure as a certain genre would. In this case Hollywood would probably create a stereotypical Jim Crow film. In other words, the Freedom Riders might be depicted as rebellious when in fact they were trying to be peaceful. Also, there would likely be actors and not primary source documents/films, and the real people in the documentary would probably not be used. Due to copyright issues and people's consent to have their actions publicized, Hollywood would have to somewhat distort what actually happened. Documentaries usually have the exact quotes that movies do not usually use. In addition, Hollywood often portrays too much violence, and I would think there would be too much focus on violence in a Hollywood rendition of the Freedom Riders, as opposed to a focus on people's motives for being Freedom Riders. While a movie would probably be less accurate than a documentary, a movie may appeal to people's emotions more by creating a story and therefore be more effective. More over, a Hollywood movie for the Freedom Riders would be less authentic than the documentary, but would be more effective for audiences.

 Adults in 2012 should parent their kids by laying out basing rules, but letting their kids make mistakes if they must do so to learn. However, I have noticed that there are more kids who do not have enough discipline that there are kids who have the right amount of strictness in their lives. Parents must establish what is right and wrong, and promote several different interests when the child is young so the child can pick their hobbies and values. For example, every child should know that stealing is wrong, but kids do not have to go to Church just because their parents think they should. The parents should allow their kids to choose their interests, and support them because parents are there to support their child in their child's best interest. In my family experiences, I have noticed that my some of my cousins and even some of my aunts were not brought up as well as possible. My cousins on my mom's side of the family always fight, because one is a seventeen-year-old girl, and the other is an eight-year-old girl. Although they are inclined to fight due to age differences, my aunt is not very strict when they fight, since all she really does is tell them to stop half-heartedly. In my opinion, a better parent would punish them somehow, or make them apologize to each other. My aunt could at least exercise more immediate harsh discipline other than just saying they should stop. I also believe that a dedicated parent does not spoil their child, but also pays enough attention to them. My mom was not spoiled at all, so she is a strict parent. No offense to my aunt, but she was a little spoiled when she grew up, so she lets my cousins fight when they want. Parents should not spoil their children, because then those children will spoil the next generation. If I am ever a parent, I will try to hold my child to the same standards I am held to. I would expect them try in school and not just rely on nice teachers and me to make life easier. I would also expect them to have a legitimate hobby, so they can make friends and not just be a lazy couch potato. I would rather be too harsh on my children than too easy, because most parent-child discipline issues are a result of not enough discipline.

     In twenty-first century American society, the racial issues are minor, but include illegal Mexican immigration and President Obama being the first colored president. Illegal Mexican immigrants are not racially discriminated against on as large of a scale as Africans were in the Jim Crow South, but illegal immigration is an issue still present in our society. Some of the population is against President Obama's presidency because he is the first African-American president and there are leftover racial tensions from the time of segregation. This tension means that a Caucasian referring to Obama as a bad president can be labelled as racist. Since I am Caucasian, my personal experience with the controversy over his presidency is that I have to be careful about sharing my negative feelings about Obama. I can share my positive opinions and African-Americans can share their critiques with others without being racist, but because I am Caucasian and Obama is colored, I have to be careful about what I say. In addition to the controversy over Obama's presidency, the illegal Mexican immigrants in the United States face racial discrimination to a small extent. Even though these immigrants do not deserve a full set of Constitutional rights, there is some paranoia in Arizona about Latinos who seem suspicious. Because of recent laws, people can report any Latino to the police who they think is an illegal alien, even if the suspected person is entirely innocent. While there is no punishment for Latino United States citizen if they are reported, this action towards Latinos in my opinion a little racist. Since the one ethnic group is subject to such harassment, it poses racial issues in the Southwest regarding Mexicans. Due to the Arizona laws, Mexicans in the Southwest are to some extent not trusted, which is not a fair way to treat them since the treatment is based solely on their appearance. More over, there are racial tensions in the United States, and in addition to United States history, fear and distrust associated with certain ethnic groups has led to a minor degree of racism.
