CHAPTER II THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
Based on the discussion in the first chapter, this research will explain certain theories to obtain the data, to analyze the data, and to answer the research
questions; How is interracial conflict between black and white people depicted in film Remember the Titans? How is conflict resolution of interracial conflict
between black and white people in film Remember the Titans? Obviously, the methodology which applied in this research maintained not only to conduct the
research logically and systematically, but also to answer the research question. To answer the first research question, this research applies the theory of
prejudice and discrimination by S. Dale McLemore. In this case, the prejudice and discrimination theory used to explain conflict through several characters who
become actors of prejudice and discrimination. Furthermore, the theory of reducing prejudice and discrimination applied to
answer the second question. In this sense, intergroup contact used to explain the conflict resolution between whites and blacks through several characters who
have conflict toward each other. Again, the writer believes that the method which has been explained is
relevant and applicable to obtain the data, to analyze the data, and to answer the research question. All in all, the analysis result in the third chapter is expected to
lead this research into definite and logic conclusion.
