Do you believe the (Fight) Rumble was worth The Cause? Why??

This is a good discussion board question.  The Socs and the Greasers, unfortunately, disliked each other without knowing much about each other.  They were "born" into their social classes.  They did not normally associate with one another since they were in these different social classes.  They were told not to associate with each other, at times, and it was just a "given" that they did not mingle with each other.  In rare cases, such as with Pony Boy, did they speak at length with one another.  Each group did not really view each other as individuals.

In my opinion, physical fights do not solve problems.  The "rumble" between the two groups did not really serve a purpose except to release aggression and tension between the two groups and people got hurt, which is not a positive outcome.  The two groups seem destined to treat each other in the same fashion:

In sum, the portrayal of class that Hinton makes simply outlines the facts. There is no attempt to suggest a way of bringing the classes together. Nor is there a criticism of either side, because both sides are at fault. The only optimism this novel offers is that members of the two sides can learn to understand one another, even if they still fight. In the end, greasers will be greasers and Socs will be Socs.

I disagree with what you said about how you said "physical fights don't solve problems."

I think in this, the rumble, that they wern't trying to fix any problems. It's in they're nature to fight with each other, its what they do. And before, in the movie, when Dallas is in the hospital he said "We have to win that fight tonight, man. We'll do it for Johnny." Theres another reason why they thought they had to win. Because they blame the Soc for everything.

To a certain extent, yes it was worth the trouble. The soc's had it all, including the courts.  There really was no recourse to the greasers except to fight it out and establish a winner.

This shows that if a group of people are oppressed beyond bearing will have to establish their rights or willingness to resist oppression through violent or non-violent means.

The American Revolution is an example of establishing independence through revolution and warfare.

The Indian Revolution is an example of establishing independence through protest and non-violent resistance.
