What "Zootopia" Taught Me

Even a bunny can do anything.

What "Zootopia" Taught Me
Forbes

As I exchanged my money for a small popcorn, a blue Icee, and one ticket to Disney’s "Zootopia" I wasn't expecting to be enlightened about today’s society. In a theater filled with children who varied from ages 1-5, my father and I were the only adults who came by their own will. Before watching this movie, I was expecting yet another cute and funny Disney movie. However, as the movie progressed, I noticed how the issues in the film reflected the issues that we face as humans.

For those who are unfamiliar with the movie, "Zootopia" is about a world filled with animals big and small. These animals have evolved and now live peacefully with each other. Just like other societies, there are issues regarding stereotyping and prejudices.

After watching this movie, I felt more educated and actually a bit relieved about our society. I now know that if Disney is making movies like this for small children, in the next 10-20 years, our society may be peaceful and equal. So, here are five things I learned from "Zootopia" (in no particular order).


1. You can do/be anything that you want!


2. Don’t judge an animal by its ancestors.


3. One voice can change people’s thoughts.


5. Otters are so cute!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
