The Blind Side


 The Blind Side movie shows a big difference between social classes and how the racism can affect the behavior of a person. This movie shows in one part, a child who has suffered throughout his life, with a dysfunctional family, educational problems, even without a place to live. In the other hand, the movie shows a family with a lot of money, a big house, with great cars, and accustomed to the good life.
             The child called Michael has a lot of qualities and talents, like protective instinct, sports talents, and facilities to learn; but due to poor quality of life he cannot explode these qualities. Michael is a shy boy, he does not believe in himself and has a low self-esteem; all these problems affect his behavior in the school and his development in the society. 
              Also, we can see in the movie how the influence of the social class is for some people, but it is important to mention the charity of Lean come out to help Michael and bring to him a better life. However, in our real life, we can not see much people doing these kinds of actions; on the other hand, it is what put us to think if we are available to help some with the profile of Michael or we will avoid it?
             Otherwise,  the movie emphasizes the importance of the family figure nowadays, and how this figure influences the environment where we as children grow up, the values and opportunities that we can choose, and the courage to confront it. Also, how with small actions we can change the entire life of a person, and see how the self-esteem is a big part of that.
              Finally, this movie put us to think until what I could be capable to help, and if we will help to change, we could do it without expecting anything return?
