Usually when you are watching a Disney film you expect to see a female protagonist who love interest is a royal. According to Awn.com, “This leaves Alice in Wonderland, Return to Never Land, Home on the Range, Inside Out, and Zootopia as the only films not part of the Princess Franchise.” In the movie, Chief Bogo is an angry bull who doubts Judy Hopps ability in the field because she is a female bunny and is supposed to be a “cute-little” bunny. She is determined, despite her low ranking in tasks, to do her best and go above all other authorities. Through out the movie, Judy is seen as an emotional bunny and is always being put down by her peers. In addition, another important scene is at in ice cream. Nick, a sly fox, attempts to convince the owner of the shop to sell his son a jumbo pop. The owner tells Nick he has the right to refuse service to anybody. Judy witnesses this and she defends Nick’s honor. A couple seconds later, she tells Nick he is such a “nice fox”. According to thestake.org “Zootopia is a sobering reminder that the struggle to recognize those who look different from us as equals and to empower one another to live our lives to the fullest is far from over.” Along with being about female empowering, Zootopia also sends an important political
Linda Bove was born November 30 1945 in Garfield, New Jersey with to two parents who were also deaf. Growing up deaf herself, she used ASL her whole life. In the beginning, she went to St. Joseph School for the Deaf in Bronx, New York. Later, in 1963 she was fortunate to graduate from Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf in Trenton New Jersey where she was surrounded by her pears which helped place the foundation for her success. Upon completion of Marie Katzenbach School, Linda later attended Gallaudet University and received her Bachelor’s degree in library science. While attending Gallaudet she was in several plays including The Threepenny Opera and Spoon River Anthology. After graduation she attended a summer school program at the National
“Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art,” said Josef Mengele, comparing science to an art. He was less of an artist and more of a curious, debatably crazy, doctor. He was a scientist in Nazi Germany. In general, there was a history of injustice in the world targeting a certain race. When Mengele was around, there were very few medical regulations, so no consent had to be given for doctors to take patients’ cells and other tests done on the patients’ bodies without their consent. This was the same time that Henrietta Lacks lived. Henrietta Lacks was an African American woman who went to the doctor because she had cervical cancer. Her cells were taken and are still alive in culture today (Skloot 41). Hence, her cells were nicknamed Immortal (Skloot 41). Although many, at the time, saw no issue with using a patient without consent issue with what?, on numerous occasions since then courts have determined that having consent is necessary for taking any cells. The story of Henrietta lacks is has similarities to an episode of Law and Order titled Immortal, which is an ethical conundrum. Despite this, the shows are not exactly the same and show differences between them. Both of these stories, one supposedly fictional, can also be compared to the injustices performed by Josef Mengele in Nazi Germany.
When asked to write about an important activist who has demonstrated protest, I immediately drifted towards a Hispanic and/or feminist activist. Various names came across my mind initially such as Cesar Chavez and Joan Baez but as a later discussion in class concluded, there are numerous others who are rarely highlighted for their activism and struggles, which lead to me researching more. In my research I came across Dolores Huerta, an American labor leader and civil rights activist, who I felt was an underdog and brushed over activist in the Hispanic community.
The poem “Woodchucks” by Maxine Kumin, is about the narrator’s attempt to eradicate woodchucks from a garden. The figurative message of the poem is how a person can change from good to evil effortlessly. The metaphor of the Holocaust is intertwined in the poem and helps enhance the figurative message. The uniform format and the implication of Kumin’s word choices creates a framework that allows the reader to draw out deeper meanings that the literary devices create. Maxine Kumin’s use of an undeviating format, word choice, and allusion to the Holocaust reinforces the purpose of her poem.
For my Christian Leadership and Service class, our final project is to watch a movie and analyze it according to a prevalent social issue. The movie that my group decided to watch is Zootopia. The film communicates that people should not be indulged by the Outgroup Homogeneity effect. This is when thinking of ingroups as diverse, and those of the outgroup as similar occurs. The movie depicts this because the predators are all classified as being “savage” due to their biological nature even thought it was only some that were acting “savage.” Those couple of predators that were found to be wild made ingroups believe that all outgroup members (predators) were also savage and that they should not take part of important roles in Zootipia. After realizing that she was wrong in thinking that all outgroup members were savage Judy shows that she learned that a
Michelle Wie, the youngest female to play in a men’s professional golf tournament would have been escorted from the tournament if it weren’t for one of the greatest female leaders. Hawaiʻi is renowned for the beautiful beaches, diverse food and culture. Fewer people are aware of Patsy Mink, one of Hawaiʻi’s great ambassadors to the world. She was a progeny of Japanese immigrants and Hawaiʻi’s first Japanese-American female lawyer. Through the Everyman Committee, Title IX and Head Start, she fought gender discrimination throughout her entire life, and contributed to the values of common good, equality of opportunity and individual rights.
America, in the early twentieth century, was centered on the Progressive Era. This was a period of unrest and reform. Monopolies continued in spite of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Social problems flourished in the U.S. During the 1910s labor unions continued to grow as the middle classes became more and more unhappy. Unsafe working conditions were underscored by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in which hundreds of female workers were killed. The plight of the Negro worsened, all while women finally received the right to vote through the ratification of the nineteenth amendment. Although this was a turbulent time in America, it was also a time to remember. During this time period, Emma Goldman devoted all of her attention to the cause of upholding the first amendment clause of freedom of speech. The right to free speech is one of the most fundamental American guarantees. However, defining the limits of free speech has never been an easy task.
Mamie Phipps Clark Although Mamie Phipps Clark is not a common name in discussions of scientific and academic achievement, she remains a very influential psychologist over the course of history. Her work contributed to the disestablishment of school segregation and increased awareness in racial bias in children. She was well educated, despite all the barriers against her. And she was a loving mother, husband, and friend to those who knew her.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, written by Rebecca Skloot, focuses on what happened to the cells of one unknow Henrietta Lacks, and how it affected her and her family. For years no one even knew the owner of the cells that were hijacked from her body; her name was said wrong, when it was rarely talked about, for decades. There are more long-term issues addressed in this book, however. The story of Henrietta Lacks is a great example of these trends. The issue of civil rights could never be more evident than in Henrietta’s life. Henrietta experienced extreme racism within her medical treatments, the book also addresses the
You hear people say “Be yourself” or “in a world where you can be anything, be yourself.” However, that statement is untrue when you’re constantly being put into a group. And the problem is everyone is stereotyped. We as humans are unable to really get to know each other. We are too judgmental and too ignorant to look past appearances and language to understand what another person is like. People are afraid of being judged and looked down upon by others to truly show themselves and be who they really are or want to be in this world. The movie Zootopia effectively demonstrates the negativity of stereotyping. Nick is not able to be his true self, take his true identity because he is seen as shifty. However, if the other animals were able to look past that stereotype they would realize that Nick is a kind hearted, friendly fox who is just looking to fit in the town and make friends. Eventually, the other animals learn that about Nick and accept him into the town and into the ZPD (Zootopia Police Department). It wasn’t until Nick proved that he wasn’t shifty or untrustworthy, that the animals actually got to know him and see how he is a great fox. Judy deals with the stereotype of women can’t do as good as job as men and that men are stronger than women Since she is a female rabbit trying to make it in the police force she has to deal with not only the stereotypes of mean versus women but also sexism. She proves
Abstract Anne Hutchinson was derided for rhetorical purposes. She was accused of breaking the 5th amendment in the Puritan’s colony which she was banished from the colony. During trial, she said that God spoke to her. John Winthrop didn’t like her theological conclusions, and that’s why he banished her. Religion professor Stephen Prathero says “Anne Hutchinson is the future of religious tolerance.
Charlotte Perkins Gillman life and the years leading up to her time of writing of “The Yellow Wallpaper” was a crucial time of her life. The actual creation of the story is the not focus, its what happened to the woman that brought her to create such a story that it is known today. Gilman was born in Harford, Connecticut on July 3, 1860 to parents Fredrick Beecher Perkins and Mery Perkins. Her father tried a wide variety of careers, such as being a librarian, a writer, and a book editor. Her mother, Mary on the other hand was a stay at home mother. Gilman, her mother, and her brother lived their lives in poverty because Frederick left soon after Gilmans birth and thereafter provided little financial or emotional support. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a complicated person and this comes through in the text.SIMONE. Born in the wrong time, her mindset and personality would fit well in the twenty-first century, but she was perceived as abnormal in her own time. Of course, the irony is that, by being average if she lived today, she never would have had cause to write the story that made her famous.

Zootopia (Byron Howard Rich Moore 2016) is an extremely successful film about a bunny named Judy. Within the film there are many direct and obvious themes, but a more implicit theme that I found while watching was, Our preconceived fears about certain groups as a society are directly reflected in Zootopia. I will be using the formal elements: camera angle, camera distance, and sound to argue my point. In the scene I will be analyzing, Judy just finished her press conference and claimed that all predators were savages. She gets off the podium and has an encounter with her friend, Nick, who is a predator. He is mad that Judy made this general statement about predators. Nick scares Judy and acts as though he has
She let out a deep gasp and stepped back as she turned around to see that she was surrounded by Judy’s fellow officers. She didn’t fight the she just pouted and sunk back as she let them detain
