This week in class we talked about ingroups and outgroups. Ingroups are the groups that you are a part of and outgroups are the groups that you aren't a part of. In the movie "A Bronx Tale" C is a part of many different ingroups. He is a part of the gang, his family, the other italians and also his friends from when he was little. One outgroup that C isn't a part of is the black people from the other neighborhood. These different groups clash because they don't have any common ground. The father of C didn't like his gang ingroup. In my life I have many different ingroups. I am part of a soccer team, a basketball team, a family, a church and a group of friends. Ingroups and outgroups are an important part of who you are because they help to shape you based on the influence they have over you. I think that "A Bronx Tale" was a great movie to watch in order to learn about ingroups and outgroups.

Feels like many of us can be put into multiple groups. Nice post :)
