This essay will critically discuss the Bee Movie and explore the relationships between the Bees and Humans in the film linking them to Marx’s theory of class. Karl Marx (1818-1883) was the founder of Marxism, he is one of the few sociological leaders to see their theory carried out within their lifetime. Marx believed that society was built on conflict between two groups, ‘Most societies are based upon exploitation of some groups by others. Those who own the means of production (such as land, factories, raw materials or capital) exploit those who work for them, and who lack the means to produce things themselves’ (Langley, 2004). This is seen as a capitalist society. Marx’s theory of class is present throughout the Bee Movie. Marx stated that

Stacey Smith 2/14/2013 Sociology 101 George Kinder Movies And Their Messages In the movie Mean Girls, released in April of 2004, you see the traditional story about the new girl in school and the stereotypes that engulf the adolescent environment. Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan, shows us what life at a corrupted school could be like for teens that are not so familiar with the American ways of socialization and "surviving" the potentially threatening lifestyle it could lead on. Sadly, children succumb to it as a result of a dire need to fit in. In the film, we're first introduced with the impression that high schoolers and the staff are super strict and have no sympathy for the new students. As it subtly resembles almost a

Through my experiences, I shape the world around me, developing a unique perspective from my worldview. When it comes to how I perceive reality I just summarize it in these six concepts: culture, meaning, self, self-fulfilling prophecy, and scripts, and self-serving bias.

I think the story was more about hysteria than supernatural. The book is based on mccarthyism which happened in the 1950”s that's also when the book was written. Mccarthyism happened around the 1940’s and 1950’s many people at the time feared the encroachment of communism. The book was very similar to the mccarthyism, in the story the crucible salem established itself as a religious community in the middle of evil. In the crucible there was girls who were delusional and would make unreasonable claims about the existence of witches in salem, they wouldn't have any proof of it. In the McCarthyism “Joseph McCarthy, U.S. Senator, made unsubstantiated claims that more than 200 "card carrying" members of the Communist party had infiltrated the United States government, but like in the book he had no proof”. I found an article who talks more about how the crucible and the McCarthyism are alike in many ways. Another part of the article which caught my eye was how in the McCarthyism “the media were not willing to stand up to the senator Mccarthy for fear of being accused of being a communist”. As in the book the townspeople weren't willing to stand up to the court for fear of being accused of being a witch. The book was more about hysteria because it couldn't be proven. The events that happened back in time in which the story takes place were just myth. The girl would often put the blame on other people in the book to protect them self. The people who were being accused would be innocent but since they were being blamed for being witches they would get lynched.

It is a dramatized and fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay during 1692 and 1693. Everything that happened there was to do with the church and witchery was the greatest crime. It was a society based on fear and hysteria, as people were scared of being accused of being a witch as this usually lead to death.

Terrifying. Tragic. Sadistic. Every street in Salem was haunted by the innocent souls, who were hanged in cold blood. Death lurked in everyone’s shadow, not having mercy on infants or the elderly. Paranoia infested every person’s mind. No one was trusted, everyone was a suspect of witchcraft. The Salem Witch Trials have different versions and points of views, but it all ties up to one tragic end, death.

Sacrificing of money for people who are suffering from poverty it is the awesome deal but only when their benefactor (благодеятель) their legal owner.
