Prejudice In The Lion King

Now that we have applied Joseph Campbell’s model to the Lion King, we have an answer to our research question: “Does the Lion King’s use of the Hero’s Journey push an agenda towards adults of previous life experiences that are noteworthy, while still maintaining young children as the target audience”? Yes, although it is a children’s movie, it does push an agenda towards adults. We have covered a couple out of several lessons the directors fixed to the audience. We can now draw three important implications of this analysis. The Lion King campaigns for an environmental improvement before it is too late, a spiritual calling to build upon a relationship with the religion each one of us practices and a cinematic implication of CGI.

Prejudice and discrimination is looked down upon, yet people still continue to be judgmental and have preconceived assumptions about others. It is a common thing that still happens in today’s society. To be particular, racial discrimination is one example of prejudice and is based solely on the color of one’s skin. In the story To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson is a caring individual who tries his hardest to treat everyone he meets with appreciation and respect. However, he is African American, which influences him and the other characters' lives in different ways. All he wants to do is help out another character, Mayella, which inevitably costs him his life in the end. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses the character of Tom Robinson to illustrate the fact that innocent people are sometimes victimized to a racist society.

In the literary work Of Mice and Men, the reader is introduced to the ranch as a world of its own, within which prejudice plays a significant part. The characters in this novel act as a community in a world of their own, having no connections to any other type of society. A strong point, enforced through many examples in the book, is the constant ability of the stronger to overcome the weaker. The prejudices of the majority towards the minority, at the ranch are the white-males, who retain power over the lesser groups of people. This inequality, as well as the influence of the time period, causes discrimination against people of color, women, and those that are disabled, either mentally or physically.

The piercing, poisonous green color eyes emphasize from his darker color tone body and hair. His heart is as dark as the night and cold as ice. He has smooth, snake-like movement and motion as if he is ready to attack at any moment. The desire for power, to have control of everything and everyone, is more important than another person’s life, including his own blood. He is willing to stab someone in their back or push the blame on others for his safety and well-being. He has a distinct feature that gives him his name, Scar. In the song Be Prepared in the Disney film The Lion King, Scar’s overall actions and the setting and plot of the song distinctly define Scar as the villain because children cannot process complex ideas of good and evil.

Many modern media including movies, television shows, and music have themes that are rooted in Christianity. About a third of the world is Christian so many people are familiar with the basic themes and stories. These themes are used to help the audience both relate and connect to the piece. By presenting the same story in a modern and interesting way, the creator grabs the audience’s attention which increases sales. The public enjoys this sense of familiarity because they are not learning something new, rather they are being presented the same story in a different way.

Heart of Darkness creates a prejudice way of presenting Africa, Joseph Conrad shows the African Congo through the perspective of the colonising Europeans, who describe all the natives as savages, which perpetuates the stereotype of the uncivilised African in the eyes of the European readers.

From an early age, my art making was influenced by narrative works like movies and comic books. Among these are V for Vendetta and Sin City, both movie adaptations of graphic novels. V for Vendetta is a politically charged graphic novel set in a dystopian future where most of the known world is ran by a tyrannical dictator. This dictator enforces a moral code taken from the Bible that deems all homosexuality as punishable by death. The movie and graphic novel use clean, crisp lines and striking symbols to emphasize the cold demeanor of the totalitarian government.

During the 1930’s depression, there was a great divide between black and white America. There were many communities and groups who had been exposed to the same treatment and persecution as the Negroes in To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper Lee has used a small town setting, such as that in To Kill a Mockingbird, to illustrate America’s views on white supremacy and the inferiority of the black race. The author has illustrated view that are expressed world-wide through her characters in Maycomb county.

In the novel Ophelia really embraced what Stowe considered to be a Northern issue; the white man that goes against slavery on a hypothetical level feels racial hatred and prejudice in the presence of a slave. Ophelia despises slavery, however she finds obligated to blacks, against whom she has a deep hatred against, because she does not want them to touch her. Stowe stresses that quite a bit of Ophelia's racial hatred stems from lack of awareness as opposed to from real experience-based hatred. Since Ophelia has invested her own time in the company of slaves, she finds them as an outsider to her. As the story progresses along Ophelia’s character seems to be one of the only characters who develops in the novel because she decided to adopt Topsy

When people think of gender discrimination, they probably think of things like wage gaps or one gender believing they are better than the other. Compared to the gender discrimination in the past, however, the discrimination today is not nearly as bad. American women were not allowed to vote until 1920. Many places viewed women as property or less important than men. Pride and Prejudice is set in a time where the latter examples of gender discrimination were common. To fully understand the book’s examples of gender discrimination, one must know what the social standards of its time period were.

In John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men, there are many example of prejudice. The main types of prejudice shown in this novel are racial, sexual and social prejudice.

Many forms of literature, such as novels, music videos, movies, and so on, focus on the theme of racism. However, whether they accurately represent society and how racism is an evolving problem is the more problematic part to recognize. The novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee, and “G.O.M.D.”, written by J. Cole and directed with the help of Lawrence Lamont, accurately represent the cruel systems in place to make black people feel like the degenerate minority of the United States of America. The Literature expose the reality of the abusive police force, which should be protecting all citizens, and the criminal justice system who opposes black men and women. Likewise, they also display the racial segregation African-Americans go through

When I was a little girl, crime was all around me. It was common to end up in a part of the crime organization one way or another, and anyone not involved in the crime organization could end up a victim by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many knew who and where the crime was happening but never said anything out of fear because of the famous saying, "Snitches get stitches." The place that I was born in and spent a part of my life in was El Paso, Texas, more specifically, Canutillo. El Paso sits on the border adjacent to Mexico, which makes the major city a place of crime and corruption. Canutillo is the ghetto of El Paso and is littered with crime and poverty. I spent most of my time at my great-grandfather's home, where my great-grandparents, grandma, parents, and I lived on the same property. After I would arrive home from school, I could be found playing with the red ants, climbing the trees, or finding any other way to entertain myself because we were too poor to afford toys. My parents are very hard working and they always pushed me to find a passion for me to pursue, but in the beginning, I did not listen to them. In elementary school, I was not well behaved and I had straight Fs. My teachers and classmates were constantly ridiculing me because of my odd personality and my physical appearance, which led to me not wanting to participate or succeed in school. The environment outside of my parent's domain was that no one needed school, including a woman
