This time, the case study is about Racism. A French student, Francine Claudel, study in a public university at Louisiana face some racism problem. When she is going out with someone from African who is black, the people beside see Francine as she is doing something wrong. Later Francine and her friends get unconvience since they are bing too close. However, when they complain about those trouble, they get no help after all.
The first solution is tranfer to a private school because private school has less racism problem.
The second solution is to find a white friend instead of black so she can enjoy the American life.
The third solution is to complain until the problem is solved.
I think the second solution is the best one as the first solution can not really solve the problem and the third solution spend too much time

Another trouble is that Dr. Emmett got killed so Marty try to tell Dr Emmett to prevent this happen. After all, Marty not only save Dr. Emmett's life, but also change he and his family.
Reaction to film
The film show us the importance of making discuession. As we do not have time machine like Marty, we cannot change our life by going back to the past. So if we make any disscussion, we have to take all consequence due to the disscussion.
This time we are going to talk about a student come from India, Rajesh Rao. He got a very good grade in the school but the problem is that he does not go to school on time. Rajesh ddid not think come to class late is a problem but his teacher, Mr. Kent did not think so. He told Rajesh that if he keep go to the class late, his grade will be lower.
The first solution is to find a school that does not care about the attantance so that he can go to school whenever he like and enjoy his life like now.
If he wants to fit into US, make up his mind and reorder the piroity is very useful. He does not go to class on time as his piroity is a little bit different to the others. So, he can live as an American if he can reorder his piroity.
Due to time management may not be an important subject in India, he should take a class of time management.
The best solution is taking time management class.Time management class is not only helping him to success in the high school but also for his whole life. On the other hand, finding a school does not care attantance only helping him success in high school but no good to his whole life. Also, one's mind is hard to change in short time by only his or herself. So it is not a good idea to reorder the piroity by hisself.
