or fear. In the film, disability is represented in a positive light and sends a good message to society at large. The mutants at professor X's school are considered gifted and are taught to embrace their abilities others do not
For this diversity assignment I decided to do a personal reflection on the Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast. This film has many undercover diversity issues that many of us did not appreciate or even notice as we watched it in our younger years. The first diversity issue I found while watching this film was the way the Prince denied shelter to the beggar woman in the beginning. As far as we knew, she was a homeless, maybe ill, woman who was nicely asking for some food and shelter. The Prince was
different landscapes, such as the Stanislaus River. The Central Valley also has several characteristics that are seen regularly in our daily lives. The characteristics that the Central Valley offers include the culture, ethnicity, and the economic diversity that are seen through the Central Valley. First of all, the Central Valley has varieties of different cultures. Some cultures that we see in Central Valley could be native from California while the other culture that we see in Central Valley could
countries in the world. We have more people of different races than anywhere else. But, does America really cherish its diversity? The result of our class debate would say otherwise. The main reason for our disagreement is the result of the Oscar nominees this year. Of the 20 nominees, all were white and most were men. “If our country is so diverse, why doesn’t it show in our film industry?” This is what many argued in our class debate. Another very valid point made is that the Academy itself is not
It took decades of struggle and ignorance, but in today’s world, the public acknowledges that the lack of diversity is an issue that should be addressed. Lack of diversity spans in all fields and professions, but one profession with this issue that hasn’t been paid enough attention until recently, despite the ironic fact that their work is often seen by a large part of the country, is the entertainment industry. This industry has lacked proportional representation of people of color for a long time
mainstream films with an effective, balanced response about the exceptions of the industry. The Atlantic article reviews a statement Simon Pegg makes about the “infantilized” nature of modern cinema (Sims). The author, David Sims, reiterates Simon Pegg’s accusation that films, particularly blockbusters, fail to have depth. Pegg makes this broad assumption because he feels films focus more on spectacle than any type of meaning. While Sims agrees that spectacle plays a large role in popular films, he clarifies
There are many problems in our economy. One specific problem is the diversity. America has changed over the years, but our diversity is just the same. We don’t cherish it or value diversity in America. In the article, Fixing Hollywood’s Diversity Problem by Jena McGregor, she claims that Hollywood has a very big diversity problem. She wrote,”One year after ’12 Years a Slave’ won an Academy Award, we’re still waiting for a tipping point that significantly changes Hollywood’s landscape.” In other words
back at the films I love to watch all main roles were played by white women Audrey Hepburn, Emma Watson, Winona Ryder, Uma Thurman, Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie, Lucille Ball, and so on. Even all Disney princesses I loved were white, with exception of Disney when they came out with characters such as the Native American Pocahontas, the gypsy Esmeralda, Sultan’s daughter Jasmine, badass Mulan, and the hard working Tiana. Disney and Hollywood had one thing in common the lack of diversity and more
a time where people did live their lives without holding a cellphone in their hand. Instead I will say that the more technology that is being invented the more advanced our society is becoming and how it is much easier to live our daily lives. Diversity allows for different perspectives on things like technology and safety measures. What one person thinks is safe might not take into account the respect they already receive with societal norms. However lesser privileged people get a much larger amount
In the film, “The Kite Runner,” we are given a little taste of the discrimination displayed against the Hazara. This film has many different levels of discrimination: discrimination of ethnic groups, discrimination of talent and job choice, and discrimination of a person’s homeland country. Most of the film is set in the Middle Eastern countries of Afghanistan
