Culture Disagrement
The film "lone Star" takes place in Texas, in a town called River Fort. In this town there are a mixture of cultures and co-cultures that are shown throughout the entire movie. Three of the major cultures and co-cultures are the Americans (Anglos), Mexicans, and the Blacks. These three cultures seem to live in an uncertainty accepting culture where they tolerate ambiguity and have mixed races and cultures, yet they somewhat lean to an uncertainty rejecting culture because they separate into sections of the town, and also don't tolerate some differences. Never the less in order to survive they create a need for inclusion, but because of their differences in background they have disagreements on certain things that influence some of the characters behaviors. Some of the things they disagree on are what is being taught at school, whether Mexicans are the majority, and also the disagreement if mixed cultures.

In conclusion, even though these three cultures live in the same town and interact with each other it doesn't mean that they all see from the same point of view. Their differences in traditions and cultures cause them to have disagreement on situations that occur in their town, which also influences the behaviors of characters that live there. These disagreements range from the teaching in the school to the mixture of cultures that causes the black, Mexican, and American culture to have difference of opinion. Finally, the disagreement that brings up a lot of controversy is the fact that the cultures are mixing. Like said earlier the American bar tender notices that the Americans and the two other cultures are mixing and points out to Sam that white sergeant and the black sergeant at his bar shouldn't get toget
