Joan Morgan is a feminist who caters to addressing the modern issues within the world. In other words she defines the feminism she addresses as "Hip-hop Feminism".

She takes up the issue of how rap has inherently mysoginistic lyrics, but how she would be lying if she did not find some appeal within the idea of Patriarchy
In addition to stability, a society also depends on social order, according to the conflict theory. This theory emphasizes, “a society is fragmented into groups that compete for social and economic resources” (Crossman). This is especially exhibited in “A Bug’s Life” due to the scarcity of the food each year that creates conflict between the ants and grasshoppers. At one point in the movie, an ant expresses his concern by saying “if we collect more food for [the grasshoppers], there will be no food left to feed us!” (A

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is the greatest novel to Teach kids about diversity and the complex relationship with racism. It details the life of Jem and Scout, two siblings who grow up in a time of racial inequality and unrest. Jem Finch is what most would call a typical young boy; fascinated with sports, guns, and being tough. Scout Finch, on the other hand, is an Atypical tomgirl, tough enough to handle anything that comes her way. Yet, both of their childhoods are different from many of their friends and families that live in the town of Maycomb.

Instead the chickens decided to stand in a line in the entrance of the farm, with one hen holding a paper protesting, the hens do not seem very happy per the illustration. What is interesting is that the stool which the farmer uses to milk the cows is upside down and the buckets are also upside and stacked on top of each other. This gives an image of how the hens are switching the game, the stool and buckets are upside down because they are showing that there will be no supply of milk and egg. Another great representation of the empowerment the hens are trying to gain is that one of the hens is standing on top of the buckets showing that they will not give up and that they stand high for what they are protesting (page 13-14). This reflects a color of black, which represents the bad side of compromise in were things are not do peaceful and turn into physical protests. For example, the boycott of products or necessities such as milk and eggs for the story. Also, it can cause the decrease of a specific economy like the farm which can lead to the farm going out of business.
