Most of the issues addressed during the first part of the movie continue throughout the same. Racism is one of the main issues touched during the film and it continues up until this decade. Even though there are laws that are against it, it has not disappeared. Like much of the movie we may see these hateful acts towards people with ethnicities that are contrary to your own. This selfless act towards humanity ends up in war and in most cases tragedies. Another important issue addressed was discrimination. The discrimination is evident in some key scenes. For example, gay men were not accepted in the army. Up until this day there are hate crimes that appear in the media. There is very little investigation as a result of these particular crimes and the media brushes away this news by more “important” matters. The gender roles associated with The 60’s shows that women were classified as inferior in comparison to the men but during this particular decade they demand to be heard. The decades have passed and many professional women with high positions still feel the need to prove their authority and intellectual height among their co workers and even society. By being a woman you are expected to behave a certain way, look a certain way and achieve certain goals. A large population of men still feels this way and act as if their power overshadows that of women. By comparing The 60’s to the present you might see different styles, make up, and hairdos but the issues remain. People are still fighting for peace and a war between brothers continues.
It is remarkable that women still struggle to be acknowledged as equals, isn't it? Most of the time you can imagine that the problems over, that is until you are discriminated against. Also, it's cultural too. Imagine living in another country where women are controlled-legally- by men.
