After reading and watching the film “United in Anger” I learned that activism is when you have a movement for a cause to bring policy or social change. Activism has a lot to do with making other individuals hear you out. The film “United In Anger” had a group named ” act up” this group wished for a change in a society like most of us do. this group stood up for their justice. These rights are contained for people with aids and other severe health conditions. Some of these people couldn’t afford medication/treatments. In the film, this group mentioned that these types of people die from this sickness and they deserve help such as health insurance, etc. This film taught me that people who show activism fight for what they want. I have also realized that activism is only anyone’s personal reason but it is for the better of everyone in society. This shows me that we do have caring people in this world.
Thanks for your summary about the film United in Anger. I agree with you that activism can be a personal reason as the motivation and even the beginning reason is personal but you would see how it impacts others in a personal way. And these people who feel you and unite with you because they can put themselves in your shoes too. Together we can make a change, from where we are.
