Answer 1

There is a shot from the Spike Lee Movie Do the Right Thing that features Da’ Mayor and Mother Sister reacting to the hellacious events of the previous night. The block was just devastated by a melee that broke out because the police killed Radio Raheem after he and Sal got in an altercation that was triggered by the volume of Radio Raheem’s boom box. Though at a very superficial level the fight was about the loud stereo, the real significance of the fight had more to do with the culmination of anger and tension between the characters of the film caused by prejudice and ignorance.He conveys a powerful message about the cancer that hate and violence can bring to a society. We should try to avoid these feelings and instead inculcate true love and wisdom in our life for it. We must always try to favor good and never fight in the name of violence as it brings no good to anyone. He highlights that the end result of violence is always moaning and lamenting.
