When a society has policemen, security guards, or any kind of law enforcement, its members would usually feel safe and secure, but the people in the French film, La Haine, felt the opposite of safety and security. This film is about three young men, Vinz, who is a Jew, Hubert, who is black, Said, who is an Arab, and their friend Abdel Ichaha, who was beaten into a coma by police while in custody. The trio is involved in riots following Abdel’s beating and the film then documents the three friends the day after the riot. The trio lives in a banlieue filled with people from all over the world, giving that area a cosmopolitan feel. Though the banlieue has a cosmopolitan feel, the events that take place throughout the movie do no relate to a cosmopolitan worldview that Kwame Appiah describes in his book, Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a world of strangers. Appiah’s worldview of cosmopolitanism is that people who are cosmopolitan must have local allegiances and loyalties but at the same time have concern for the rest of the world and humanity. Appiah believes that these local and universal allegiances and loyalties do not clash with one another because people can’t be either too much of a nationalist or an icy impartialist, they must be in between. Appaih’s worldview of thinking is what would most likely bring peace in a society, because people would be able to appreciate their roots and also the roots and culture of others around them. Even though Vinz, Hubert, and Said show a balance between family life and friends, they don’t show concern for the rest of the city that they live in and its people. They spend most of their day loitering around each other’s homes; such as when Said was yelling to get Vinz’s attention and disturbing his neighbors in the process; and their night trying to get back home by even attempting to hotwire a car, even though they know that the police is patrolling the streets at night. The actions that they
