Discussing the film "Erin Brocovich", examine how this media text has been used to dispaly social class and prejudices within American society.

Erin Brocovich is not a typical lawyer; we see all lawyers as well dressed, well spoken, and dedicated to the job fully, and down to the point but with subtly.

…then. She had to fight for her job at the office, and she had to fight to get the case won. Her personality has shown through her lawyer side many times, especially when she gets angry. She has made everyone respect her because of her attitude towards the greater good.
