Problem: Sociology

Watch the short film "They Call Us Monsters"

Dive deeply into the dynamics of punitive social control, mainly as it operates in the United States. The documentary "They Call Us Monsters" serves as a lens to examine these issues. Instead of simply recounting the film's storyline, reflect on how the penal system either exacerbates or interrupts youth violence.

Consider the factors that drive young individuals to commit crimes despite facing heavy sentencing repercussions. How do societal influences contribute to the youths' decision-making processes? How does the system, through its structure and practices, push these youths towards institutionalization?

A critical question is whether the system has failed these young individuals. Have they been provided with the necessary support and opportunities for rehabilitation, or have they been further marginalized and pushed into a cycle of recidivism?

Explore systemic issues such as racial disparities, the role of poverty and lack of resources, and the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs (or lack thereof). Ultimately, consider if the documentary's depiction of the juvenile justice system reflects a sense of justice or injustice. Are these young individuals being treated fairly and given a chance for redemption, or are they being subjected to a system that perpetuates inequality and perpetually punishes them?
