Peer Pressure throughout the ages
After the team won a football game, the captain had the choice to either go with the girls to the "hill" and get drunk or stay with his friends from the team. This is an example of peer pressure. throughout the movie, peer pressure is a big topic considering that the blacks and the whites back in the 70's. The ethical choices he made adds another element of surprise and develops a stable relationship between the blacks and whites. Even Today, elements of peer pressure are still visible. Anywhere you look, peer pressure is running rampant. Ethically, the choices that people make when conformed with peer pressure are split decisions, and most of the time aren't the best ideas. So when the captain decides to stay with his teammates, he has made the right decision

I think that the captain made a good decision when he stayed with his teams mates instead of going with the girls. It showed that he didn't give in to the pressure and valued his time with his team more than getting drunk with some girls. He showed great leadership in standing up for his team mates and looking past the racial differences. It also shows how much the team has come together after all of Coach Boone's pressure and rules.
