CRASH United States/Germany, 2004 Cast: Matt Dillon, Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillippe, Larenz Tate, Jennifer Esposito, William Fichtner, Terrence Dashon Howard, Ludacris ast: Summary: Beautiful, intense, powerful and memorable, Crash could very well be the most important film this year. Story: The lives of racially diverse group of The distinct attorney (Brendan Fraser) and his wife (Sandra Bullock, strikingly uncongenial) are carjacked at gunpoint by two black men (Ludacris and Larenz Tate). At home, the wife orders the locks changed and then changed again because a Mexican (Michael Pena) did the first job. A black TV director (Terrence Howard), with his wife (Thandie Newton) while driving home, is stopped by two white cops. One officer (Matt Dillon) gropes the wife to humiliate the husband, while the other cop (a standout Ryan Phillippe) watches helplessly. A Persian store owner (Shaun Toub), taken for an Arab, buys a gun for protection. Don Cheadle plays a detective who ties these stories together when he finds a dead body in the road. Genre: Haggis is undoubtedly skilled at setting up effective melodramatic vignettes. This drama is about Haggis foe getting the racial anger runs through the city, where every one is suspicious of one another and communication between the races is garbled at best. Analysis: "Crash" was directed by Paul Haggis, whose screenplay for "Million Dollar Baby" led to Academy Awards. It connects stories based on coincidence, serendipity, and luck, as the lives of the characters crash against one another other like pinball. The movie presumes that most people feel prejudice and resentment against members of other groups, and observes the consequences of those feelings Crash has a good idea for a film but the connecting threads between the characters are rarely convincing. That you would think The positive point in this film is to be explicit. People say exactly what they are thinking, without the filters of political correctness. Each of the many plot threads prominently involves racism, but the movie takes an impossibly didactic approach, that increases power of effect. The movie think: You have never heard of racism before and show that with explicit plots, full of racism behaviors. Haggis issues the common view of society and he sometimes plays tricks on your perception, making you realize how twisted events. Not many films have the possibility of making their audience better people, but any one seeing CRASH, is likely to be moved to have a little more sympathy for people not like themselves.

Globalization & Justice Azadeh NazerFassihi Student of MA in Cultural Studies Globalization with appearance new concepts in achieving justice has always been a dream for humanity. Can we hope that the world will experience such situation in the near future? This claim, is speaking about the development and adjustment of the civic institutions and public arena and movement toward democracy, with the assistance of cyberspace and real world and their conformity with each other. In this new type of life, difference between view of “world of city” and “city of the world” [1] will expand citizen’s freedom in using the capital and instruments, any where and any time. Globalization is a movement toward an ideal target in which there is equal access to various facilities and services for all citizens. Although several critics interpret this new movement as a threat for individual private frontages. They think life feeling in new world and global information system is a new form of imperialism (Gidenz). In contrast, the other party assumes that globalization is a tool for nearness of societies and people and move toward mutual understanding and making peace and justice (Forghani: 1382). And in the middle course, Jurgan Habermas defend of “universalism” in all theories and he believes there is a potential ability in humankind for transforming the world and arriving at a more human, just and egalitarian society through the realization of the human potential for reason, in part through discourse ethics. But he focuses on the obscurity of this act in the globalization process. He speaks about the necessary principles for achievement to human right in new world. It seems that we can have an optimistic view for achieving theoretical goals of information society. As in the recent statement of the WSIS, the future image of the human life is drawn more humanlike, democratic and fair. In the globalization process, the world system will reach to equilibrium. In this paper, will be studies, necessary principles to making better world with these concepts: “Globalization& Justice” and the appearance of the justice indices in this process and the way that globalization could help to establishment of that. Homogenization of diverse cultures, Global justice and solidarity movement, endless information and the new management of the world, the political face of justice: “Democracy”, global boundaries and increasing capacities In here, justice is defined based on” humankind consensus feeling”. Internet (as a medium for democratization)that use in many ways even: in creation virtual ethnic communities, knowledge-led, freedom of express, new social discipline and the cultural effects of this process and other issues which are going to be reviewed in this paper. About the Justice: In definition of justice, John Stewart Mill with Utilitarism idea defines “justice” according to the “Humankind consensus feeling”. In there discrimination between people is one of the manifestations of unjust life. He divides moral obligations in two sections: 1- Incomplete moral obligations 2- Complete moral obligations In first section, we can do these ourselves without order or command. Like: munificence or doing good; a function that everybody can perform with self decision. But second section is about the obligation that must to do for everywhere, every time and every body. Like: justice. In this meaning of “justice”, it defines with this title: a thing that every body can claim of us on right obligation pretense. These obligations are necessary for convenience of humankind. Mill emphasizes on “Distributive Justice”. In this view society must serve in equally scale for people that are servant equally for society. And people must to have what deserve for them. We use of this definition for comparing “justice” in new world with expanding citizen’s freedom in using the capital and instruments and minimizing unequally. Also, in this paper we use of “social justice” in expand of this term. The concept of social justice is not an all-inclusive one in which we encapsulate our vision of the good society. It is rather more limited. Justice is essentially to be thought of as a principle (or set of principles) for resolving conflicting claims. These conflicts may arise in many ways. Social justice is a particular application of just principles to conflict which arises out of the necessity for social cooperation in seeking individual advancement. (Harvey 1973:97) Social justice can be seeing in division of labor, distribution of productions, division of benefits and the allocation of burdens and social and institutional arrangement and …. Also we can assume “human right” to introduce one of the justice indices. Human rights, right of man or fundamental rights, are names given to those elementary rights which are considered to be indispensable for development of the individual. (Treverdi 1985:22) What is Globalization? Pope John Paul described globalization as a rapidly evolving phenomenon marked by the increasing elimination of barriers to the movement of people, capital, and goods. The foundation of globalization is the expanded interconnectedness made possible by computer technology. Currently, through the internet, millions of people as well as institutions interact effortlessly and transfer huge amount of information, new technology and capital. In other definition: Globalization simply put, denotes the expanding scale, growing magnitude, speeding up and deepening impact of transcontinental. It refers to a shift or transformation in the scale of human organization that links distant communities and expands the reach of power relations across the world’s regions and continents. But it should not be read as prefiguring the emergence of a harmonious world society or as a universal process of global integration in which there is a growing convergence of cultures and civilizations.(W. Toth: 2004) Although the term globalization has acquired the status of a popular cliché the concept itself is not new. It’s origin lie in the work of many nineteenth and early twentieth century intellectuals, from Karl Marx and sociologists such as Saint-Simon to students of geopolitics such as Mac Kinder, who recognized how modernity was integrating the world. (Held and McGrew 2002:1) Positive dimensions of globalization On numerous occasions, Pope John Paul has pointed out that globalization, a priori, is neither good nor bad. It will be what people make of it. On the economic level, the technology of globalization has given rise to men business transactions of greater scope and complexity that we could imagine ten years ago. The elimination of barriers to the movement of people, capital and goods has brought about an increase of jobs and access to goods in developing nations. Medical advances made by internet, more interconnected world, human development are the positive dimension of globalization. (W.Toth:2004) Negative dimensions of globalization Ascendancy of global market ideology. Beside the positive possibilities, the problematic side of globalization has been clearly recognized. It is argued that has been fueled by a global market ideology that makes the search for economic profit the highest human goals and defines the human person as a consumer. Central components of this ideology include maximum economic growth, unregulated capital mobility, free trade, privatization, and a uniform reliance on competitive market to serve as the motor force of national development everywhere. (W.Toth:2004) In this view, the world has imploded economically, politically and culturally as global empires have given way to nation-states, while the majority of the world’s population is excluded from the benefits of economic development. (Hoogvelt: 2001) Globalization &Justice In this section, we speaking about justice indices and trying to have proven the link between justice and globalization.
Globalization will lead to the homogenization of previously diverse cultures. (Mandle :2000). In multicultural world, globalization with the assistance of the virtual reality will help to reduce unequally in ethnic and other unjust and unbalanced concepts. Due to new innovation like the creation virtual ethnic communities (Elkins: 1997), the force of dispersed communities focus on one point for using of protection instrument and calling states and we will see the new represent of identity with new force in these communities. Elkins believes that this “virtual” is a dynamic concept and isn’t incomplete society. Interactions and defense of right are supplies in these communities. This process will produce a balance between center and edges. The greater part, that is center and others address edges. This balance is like a guarantee for justice.
Theoretical-political positioning regarding globalization, as a multidimensional phenomenon, loaded with power relation with unequal and ambivalent impacts producing dramatic exclusion but at the same time opening possibilities for profound changes in the gender order and in social objectivities. For example: the new dynamics of intervention of feminist movement that follow from this new reality. The social world forum is a privileged space for this convergence of new tendencies and new ways of existence of feminism, expressing the new conflicts and challenges faced by feminisms in the collective construction of globalization. (Vargas: 2003)
Because of globalization, in particular its technical and economic revolution and the power of the global information age, we increasingly find that we have a capacity to effectively respond to the needs and concerns of others beyond our boundaries. Through the transnational mobilization of information, power, capital, or public opinion in ways that hitherto we could not. (Garcia: 2005) More access, make a balance between various groups. In other hand, the huge amount of information production shrinks the distance among groups.
In seeking to define globalization, we have stress the importance of the stretching of social and economic relations, the intensification of communication and other linkage and the emergence of global infrastructure. These trends led to the new form of management the world. Managing the new world is multilayered and multi dimensional and multi actor system. That’s not straight forward hierarchical (command and control from the top) as one which involves horizontal coordination and between various level from the local to the global. In there, local tendencies emerge in global face and we can see the local managements in global surface. States in this kind of management will arrive at a compromise because of fluid balance of power that is into relation between them. Also, new world with emphasizing to computer and new technologies like the several of (e-) s: e-commerce, e-city, e-government and other e... will expand the capacity of physical and informational capacity of people everywhere. This trend disappear confinement that exists in real world.
Democracy is the political face of justice and there is a logical relationship between “discourses of being democratized” and “the globalization of culture” because of globalization of culture isn’t a solid concept and we can’t define it in unit definition. In other word, in both of these concepts we can see a high scale of “generality”. According to this view, globalization emphasizes at the democratic passage in form of a global wave with political, economical and social factors and with “macro rationality”. There are two strategies in being democratized of the world. 1- Macro-oriented: the emphasizes on objective conditions 2- Micro-oriented: that emphasizes on behavior strategy of political actors that related to historical state of them. (Przeworski:1986) In first strategy “democratic passage” will make with various economical, social and political situations and logic of global system affects these. In this view, globalization is a factor for acceleration of this passage. Also, Held speaks about the form of globalization and democratic and political society. He believes that globalization is assistance of institutions that were from previous in the international and transnational level. With these contrivances he wants to draw a global and democratic society. (Khabiri 2002:159) Held focus in global culture theory. We want to point to this deform of democracy that makes of such as culture.
Many have challenged about the justice in global boundaries. In other word, “justice” in new world is definable in creation global boundary for countries instead of previous boundaries. “Global Boundary is a new concept in globalization trend. In spite of walking in this way, the global civic society is a semi-subjective concept and it has remained as an ideal. We must know the sprit of civic society receives from identity and global sovereignty in the new boundary defines this form of democracy. (Khabiri 2002:163)
The globalization of markets means that in any cases we are directly profiting from the economic and social conditions in other parts of world, through outsourced services, low wages, multinational producing processes, mutual fund and pension plan investment returns, etc. The very fabric of global society- its division of territory and jurisdiction of political entities called states- is a social arrangement we are collectively responsible for. Thus, we have the capacity to harm each other as well. This capacity to harm each other globally is an important element in creating a sense of solidarity, understood as a sense of responsibility for one other. Through our economic interdependence, we have to take seriously the possibility that we are contributing to the socioeconomic circumstance of others, a basic criteria of community. Our responsibility over the effects, even attenuated, of our own conduct at the global level, is a rationale for global justice, it has been suggested, transcends the entire cosmopolitan-communitarian divide. Together, these global circumstances of justice, especially our capacity to both help and harm each other, make justice both possible and necessary at the global level. Moreover, in their contribution to the creation of solidarity, understood as fellow responsibility, they lay the foundation for global community. Also, globalization and technological revolutions creates the technical ability to affect global resource distribution, making the question of its justice now quite relevant. By creating a real capacity to respond to another’s need and concerns, globalization contributes to an important element of the rationale for both society and justice-in Rawl’s term, the capacity to help.(Garcia :2005)
If we restrict our view to justice, social equality, it is important answering to some question. Is social inequality of any kind ever a bad thing in itself? The alternative is to think that what is bad is deprivation, not inequality. If one person is deprived of something important, then that is bad and we have a reason to provide him with it if we can. But it is not as if the existence of a second better off person makes the situation any worse. After all, the first person is made no worse off by the existence of the second and reducing the second person to the same level of deprivation as the first, although it removes inequality, surely makes the situation no better. It does not benefit the worse off and it harms the better off. So since there is no one for whom it is better in any way, this is not better in any way. (Cullity: 2004). This definition of social justice says: equality can not in itself be good, nor inequality bad. We must to have the leveling down objection. In other way, globalization itself is in the process of creating a new global identity, consisting of shared understandings, practices and traditions capable of supporting obligations of this kind of social equality. Members of this global society are increasingly aware of each other’s needs and circumstances, increasingly capable of effectively addressing these needs and increasingly contributing of these circumstances. Here, we will have mill’s definition of justice and a kind of balance has made this feeling consensus. Conclusion Today in the globalization of the world, justice is an experimental more than a subjective concept. What does making the justice? Answering to this question is very difficult. Globalization is bringing about the same circumstances of justice at the global level, which influences at the domestic level. There is the same basic scarcity of resources at the global level. Through the globalization, people are increasingly competing for these resources on a global scale in a shared territory:”Our Planet”. (Garcia: 2005) In new world, we increasingly find that we have a capacity to effectively respond to the needs and beyond our boundaries. In multicultural world, globalization with making virtual ethnic communities represents identities with new force. In this process we can see a convergence between communities. Changing in gender order or other social objectivities as a result of this trend is notable. Globalization is a multidimensional phenomenon with expanding of physical and informational ability and growing capacities led to disappearing confinement in existence previous world. Also in democratic passage, globalization is an important factor for acceleration of this trend. Some of globally concepts like: global culture, global sovereignty and other global must to conform to new situation. These globally circumstance of justice especially our capacity to help make justice at global level.
