In whatever order you wish, the paper must cover the following questions: VERY IMPORTANT TO DEFINE OR EXPLAIN ANY TERMS BEFORE YOU GIVE EXAMPLES from the movie.
After watching the film Selma(2014):

Identify at least one example of prejudice.
What stereotypes of minorities are in this movie?
Analyze the movie from at least one of the major sociological perspectives/theories: Functionalist, or Symbolic. Which theory seemed to explain the events in the movie the best?
Which psychological theory did you find best explained the behavior of some of the characters? (authoritarianism or frustration theory)
In your opinion, did stereotypes increase or decrease as characters came in to contact with each other throughout the movie (be specific in supporting your opinion)?
Was this movie effective in raising awareness and exploring racism? If yes, why do you feel this way? If no, why do you feel this way?
Remember, this is in an essay format, i.e. do not put the questions of numbers in the body of the essay. Your focus is to examine a movie from the sociological perspective, not just the point of view of entertainment.
