Identity
and Self-Expression
The movie “Boys Don’t Cry” starring Hillary Swank is
based on the real life story of Teena Brandon, who chooses to live her life as
a man, Brandon Teena. Brandon
demonstrates courage as she pushes the limits and marches forward to search for
freedom and self identify in a world where diversity is rarely accepted. She
has paid a significant price for going against social constraints and
expressing her identify. Brandon was raped and murdered by two male acquaintances
that were unable to accept differences in others.
Self
Reflection
1. Social constraints lead people to feel or behave in a certain
manner because of the way others will perceive their actions. Have you ever
felt constrained by society? If so how did this affect you?
2. Are all social constraints
negative
