I believe all of Rat Kiley’s story.
Factors that may be characterized as risky are found in the individual, the environment, or the individual’s response ability to demands or requirements of the environment, In “The Ghetto Made Me Do It” by Francis Flaherty, Flaherty writes about the influence of growing up in the Ghetto , and it (the Ghetto) influences the behavior by the people who have been influenced by that environment.

The film Boyz N the Hood is a story about life in South Central Los Angeles. The film was wrote and directed by John Singleton in 1991. I chose this movie because of its relevance to the course and how it reflects pop culture in that time period.
