Erin Brockovich - what I learned

In my opinion, the movie Erin Brockovich was bad, and predictable, but the story it is based on is mind blowing. Having seen the side of victims in the movie, researching and representing the opposition (PG&E company) was going to be interesting and a definite eye opener. What I saw in the movie was a bit biased, but I learned loads from what I was shown. We often take our environment, and planet in general for granted, for the furthering of our leisure and elimination of problems we care about. Sometimes this is taken too far, and immediate consequences take place, even for us. In the movie,PG & E dumped dangerous chromium 6 into ponds to save money, which leaked into public water supplies, and the people of Hinkley, CA, have suffered because of that. On the other hand when representing PG & E as lawyers, in defense of a lawsuit caused by the water contamination. I learned the real affects of Cr6 and how the Erin might have changed some of the facts and way she said them. I researched the laws concerning the court hearing, and thought of how Erin could have used the plight of the residents to convince the jury and the judge on only biased ethical and moral grounds, not on full use of evidence. I would conclude that both sides of the conflict and valid points, and showed how people can use science and slight deception to convince people one way or the other. But more importantly how mankind must think for the environment and other people, for the present and future before doing anything that may affect those.
