What really caught my interest was the video "A Class Divided."  It was so interesting to watch young kids take on certain roles just by the teacher saying "you're better than him." It really shows how easily we can become influenced.  It's just like a psychology experiment and it proved how we are peer pressured and changed by people around us.  This also showed that we take on the roles that society gives us.  The adults were also interesting to watch because we see how angry it made them even though they were mostly white and were probably not even ever discriminated against as much as a black person would have been.  I think this just proved how ridiculous racism and segregation is, but no matter what it will always be around in some form.
