AMERICAN HISTORY X RESEARCH (DRAFT 1)
The future of the country depends on the young. The country becomes prosperous and
powerful thanks to this generation. The youth has wrong ideology, which will lead to destruction
to humans. Through the movie American History X, the main character is Derek who honored
Hitlers neo-Nazism has realized that this is a wrong way that he has to barter for his younger
brothers death. Losing beloved members of the family is a deep cut or a scar that will have a
persistent pain all his life.
Firstly, the ideology which Hitler mentioned in Mein Kamp or My struggle has had a
strong influence on young people is racial discrimination. According to Salem Press
Encyclopedia, Race dominates the ideology on display in Mein Kampf. Hitler was convinced
that every race should preserve its purity or face decline, and he was especially distraught that
the Aryan race (whose nature he never precisely defined), especially German Aryans, seemed to
have failed in this effort. He believed that if the German race could be kept purethat is, if its
most Aryan elements could be increased through careful breedingGermany could achieve
world domination(Mein Kampf Outlines Nazi Thought). The white young in the world always
believe that their race is the best, the most intelligent because of their ancestry. They imitate
Hitlers salute, mustache and tattoos of swastikas, skulls,..on the body.

Secondly, that Neo-Nazi groups have developed in the world is disastrous to the world.
Although Hitler passed away years ago, his ideology has ingrained into a dangerous character in
the movie, Cameron Alexander. He injected racial ideology into Derek, Danny and Venices
young people. Moreover, many worldwide Nazi organizations have been established secretly.
With the development of media technology, it is easier for these organizations to link
supremacists and share messages, pictures, opinions of white pride together on the Internet.
The worldly leading group called Blood & Honour where seventy-four Canadian members with
addresses, names, and emails participate. Also, on the online forum, this organization tried to lull
one hundred forty-two people through emails. It is a big worry to the security of countries.

A proverb says: A pen is mightier than a sword. In fact, with encouragement or stimulation of
these racial groups, a lot of rebellions and clashes often happen in the world. With a hot news of
the Associated Press, to celebrate Hitler Adolfs birthday anniversary, a series of massacres
aimed at Asians, Africans, and Hispanics who always wish to live in another country peacefully
were attacked and beaten to death brutally.

Thirdly, racial discrimination has had a strong impact on psychology of adolescence. In the
article The Antecedents and Consequences of Racial/Ethnic Discrimination during
Adolescence: Does the Source of Discrimination Matter?, African American, Asian American
and Latino adolescents often feel contempt from peers in school and society. Therefore, their
psychology is seriously mixed up. So, this results in incredible consequences.
