SOCIOLOGICAL MINDFULNESS IN A BRONX TALE

SOCIOLOGICAL MINDFULNESS IS TO BE ABLE TO LEARN HOW THE WORLD AROUND US ACTS AND TO APPRECIATE PEOPLE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. IN THE MOVIE A BRONX TALE CALOGERO OR "C" AS SOME PEOPLE WOULD CALL HIM WAS ABLE TO PICK UP ON THIS CONCEPT. DURING THE TIME PERIOD OF THIS MOVIE IT WAS DURING THE 1950'S, 1960'S WHERE SEGREGATION WAS STILL PROMINENT. IN C'S NEIGHBORHOOD ALL HIS "FRIENDS" WERE VERY AGAINST THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WERE ALWAYS THROWING OUT THE N WORD AND TRYING TO FIGHT AND BEAT THEM UP, AND EVENTUALLY TRIED TO KILL THEM. C WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDNT SEE THEM AS THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN BUT FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE AS PEOPLE, HE WAS ABLE TO GET TO KNOW JANE WITHOUT ANY JUDGEMENT AND IN THE END THEY END UP TOGETHER. C WAS VERY SOCIOLOGICALLY MINDFUL BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE UNIQUE QUALITIES IN JANE WHERE AS HIS FRIENDS COULD NOT. NOT ONLY WAS C SOCIOLOGICALLY MINDFUL BUT SONNY ALSO HELPED C BECOME THAT WAY. HE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD C TO DO WHAT HE WANTS IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY AND IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT COLOR SKIN YOU HAVE AS LONG AS YOU MAKE EACH OTHER HAPPY.
