JFK Inaugural Address
Thursday, March 7, 2013
Open ended
How people generally react to those who are willing to step aside the box of comfortability and normality and behave in a way that is considered unconventional or unacceptable is that they feel as if that person or groups of people will not succeed. People feel as if they should try & stop them. In the movie "Glory Road" when Don Haskins allowed african americans to play & start in the basketball games, nobody really accepted it. They thought he was crazy, they thought it was a bad idea. This demonstrates that people do not like it the least bit when somebody is brave enough to step out of the normal thing to do something that is not ordinally done. This movie reminds me of a movie called "Men of Honor" because the man wanted to be the first black navy diver and people gave him a hard time. Just because he was doing something different. It was important that Don Haskins thought differently because he changed who could play basketball forever & people didn't like him for it but he did what he had to do.
