The basic issue in this film that relates to justice was racism. This is because when Carl first joined training to be a U.S Navy Master Diver, no white man thought he could do it.

             Pappy was the commander of the training center Carl first went to. Pappy's side of the issue was that blacks weren't dependable or loyal. Pappy's opinion was that by putting a black man in the U,S Navy would put peoples lives in danger. If blacks weren't dependable, then how could they trust one in a life or death situation?

             I also agree with Pappy's point of view. He was raised to hate blacks. But he could have always changed his ways. Even though Pappy was racist against blacks, many blacks are racist against all whites. This happens sometimes. Blacks don't even know some white ...
