Trying to create new changes in any situation is not easy. The person presenting a new change must gain the majority of peoples support. It is slow and it is not always guaranted that it is for the best. However, if one person truly believes in it, and they are determined to make it happen, the impossible can become possible.
The main conflict in the movie is about trying to start a union to fight for workers right for better wages and treatment. It did not seemed realistic, since none of the workers were not supportive at all. Determination, persistence and patience finally paid off when courageous Norma Rae decided to get involved and gave up family time to make it happen. She even risked her freedom in order to prove that she was not going to give up without a fight.
If I would have been in Norma Rae's position, I think I would have been supportive, but not brave enough to be willing to go to prison to fight for the people. At least, not when I have a family and children to care for.
Both main characters had good communication skills. They presented their objective and made it clear and simple for the workers and the supervisors. They also allowed potential members to talk about their past experience with the company.
The alternative dispute to end the tension among workers right to form a union was to allow workers to either vote to have a union or not. The final outcome was positive due to one brave person's effort and determination.
