Using a couple of examples from each movie, I believe I can adequately defend my answer as well

The fact that there is a lack of a biological basis for racial difference raises fundamental socio-political questions as to why certain groups are marginalised in society and others are not. The notion of being Australian or ‘un- Australian’ is facilitated and maintained by the news media and their ability to portray nationalist stereotypes. This ability to construct racial boundaries based on the ideas

    The Social Construction of Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Gender

    Socialization is the unequal distribution of power, wealth, income and social status between individuals and groups. This distribution is not random, it is patterned and structured.
