A Bronx Tale

This week in sociology, we watched A Bronx Tale. What stood out to me the most, was the importance of in-groups and out-groups. The main character, C, was italian along with everyone else he associated with. To him and his peers, being an italian was an in-group. If a non-italian were to come to the neighborhood, they would be part of the out-group. An example of this would be when the biker gang came to the bar, and they were really out of place. Since the biker gang was technically an out-group, they were automatically stereotyped and treated differently, and eventually beat up.
