The first movie that I thought of was Fight Club.  It portrays multiple world views throughout the movie.  It starts out with a man who lives in the culture created for him.  He buys everything for his apartment that he wants and is kind of a chick.  When he meets Brad Pitt, everything changes.  He completely changes his lifestyle and the way he sees the world.  He lives in an old run down house that always floods.  They make and sell soap made from human fat that they steal from liposuction dumpsters.  Together they form a fight club that lets men do what they want to.  The point is that the world has become so femanized that men are expected to act like it.  I agree that the world is being femanized but the movie takes it to the extreme to get the point across.

I see tons of evidence of gang activity everyday. When I was at Cherry Creek some people claimed to be members of either the Bloods or the Crips and would fight afterschool. Some would wear their colors to school as well. It isn't always gangsters though. Lots of times, it is posers or just people who like the clothing style. I also see lots of graffiti that is gang related. Crowns, C's, B's and other signs show up a lot. Where and what do you see on a day to day basis?

Most people feel that all gang activity is bad. That is not the case at all. In some neighborhoods gangs are the source of protection. They keep the peace within their area so that they can continue selling drugs. They do not want the police coming around either so they settle matters themselves and keep the residents under control. What evidence do you see of gang activity in your neighborhood?

Heart of Champion
Nelly
This song is about giving all you got no matter what.  Its a good pump up song and I listen to it before basketball games.  The only thing that I think is a little bad is it sounds cocky and full of yourself.
