In this movie, Chris who is a colored man was dating a white woman. In the beginning of the movie, Chris feels uncomfortable with the idea of meeting his girl’s parents because he’s black. At first, he felt comfortable meeting his girlfriend’s parents because they made him feel welcome. He started feeling displaced when he saw that the house maid and the gardener were black. Later on, the whole community had a get together to see if they want a bid on him, but Chris just thought it was a get together. He felt something was strange because the house maid and gardener was acting weird. Throughout the movie, Chris was trying to get out of the parent’s house because he felt displaced.

In the Tarzan movie we witness him trying to assimilate into the culture he’s been taken in by. His parents were killed when he was a baby, and the apes took him in. He grows thinking he is an ape that looks different from others. There is no questioning the fact that the apes have treated him with love and have not once treated them differently.However, he struggles with the Alpha Ape because he does not accept him, and in the clip above we see him observing himself and upset because he looks so different and that is why he isn’t being accepted by Kerchak ( Alpha ape). So when the mud jumps on his face he notices that he is brown and that is the color of the apes. So he tries to cover himself in the mud to look more like them. He was displaces in that culture because of the excessive differences between him and others. Throughout the movie he tries to fit in and show Kerchak that he is worth his recognition and acceptance.

So at some point in the movie, Tarzan finds out that he isn’t an ape and is actually human. So Jane the woman who introduces him into the human culture, is the one that shows him how a human male is supposed to act like. And then he tries to fit in into that culture. In the clip above we see him trying to act like a human, and assimilating into that culture.

In the movie, Bring it On All or Nothing, Britney is displaced by moving into a new neighborhood and attending high school there. Britney was from a wealthy predominantly white neighborhood. She is not used to the argot in this high school. She was extremely popular and respected in her old high school as cheer captain and when she arrived at her new high school she was displaced. It was a totally different environment from her, she was not accepted and was referred to as “White Girl” and she stood out like a sore thumb. Britney was not used to the variety of races; most important races of color. She did not know how to interact with her new classmates. She was displaced from her old privileged white high school. In addition, she didn’t have any of her cheer friends to support her like she did in her old high school. It was a drastic change for Britney in her environment, academics, and social groups. She was not accepted from most of her classmates and her classmates thought she was bougie since she looked like a stereotypical white girl that obviously did not belong; as her classmates phrased it “she’s lost”. She did not feel like she belonged and neither was she immediately accepted into the high school.

In the show, Shameless created by Paul Abbott, one of the main character’s Lip was uninterested in attending college after finishing high school. Lip lived on the South Side of Chicago which was one of the toughest neighborhoods in the country. However, despite those woes, he earned a 4.6 GPA throughout high school and even went as far as offering students to take their SATs as a source of income. Lip’s girlfriend, Mandy saw his potential and applied him to colleges throughout the country without him knowing. However, when he started to receive college acceptance letters, he was angry and upset at her. A man from MIT showed up in front of his door step to interview him. Initially, Lip tried blowing him off, but then the man said that he wouldn’t have made it anyway. Consequently, Lip proved him wrong after writing an incredible essay in front of the man and a few months later was accepted to MIT.  In his first party at MIT, he tried to pick up a girl similar to the way he did back in the South Side, but got flipped off. After having a rough time adjusting to MIT, Lip thought of calling college a quits and just living content with the lifestyle everyone in his neighborhood lived. His friend was disappointed in his left turn decision and tried to snap him out of it. I see Lip’s displacement at MIT conform to the models we saw in class because he feels like the “fish out of water” at MIT as he doesn’t know how to interact with people outside of the South Side and isn’t familiar with people who doesn’t deal with the same issues he deals with at home.
