Mistrust in Government
Killing role models harms the community's trust because the community will start to rebel against the government. When Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, the community did not have trust in anyone, even the government. As a result, they started to create violence and to defend themselves for what was right. This also made it harder for the community to turn to the police.
In the late 1960, America's great leaders, like Martin Luther King Jr. and John F Kennedy were killed. This lead kids to create and join gangs because they had no hope and leader.
Black Benji
In Rubble Kings, Black Benji was a man who wanted to stop gang violence. He urged gangs to stop fighting each other. Then the gangs had enough of this and killed Benji. When Benji died, other people who like him wanted to kill other people to get revenge.
Parental Figures
If a child does not have a strong parental figure, then the child can become irresponsible and may make bad decisions that could lead to jail time. In Boyz in the Hood, Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) had a very strong parental figure, his father. His father, Furious Styles, is tough on Tre as a kid. He makes Tre do all of the chores, but that leads Tre to become more responsible. On the other hand, Tre's friend, Doughboy (Ice Cube), is the opposite. He had bad parenting and gets arrested and sent to a juvenile detention facility for shoplifting.
Throughout the movie, the audience is frequently reminded of Furious's influence on Tre's life. Unfortunately, the absence of a strong parental figure in Doughboy's life contributes to his tragic fate.
