Walt Disney was one person who was greatly impacted by the free enterprise system, and who greatly impacted the buisness world. Ho was not only the pioneer of animation, but he has built two multi-million dollar theme parks, that many people today enjoy and come from all over the world to see. Most people think that you have to be rich and have lots of money to become an entrepenur, but many people start off with nothing at all, that was the case with Walt Disney.

When people talk about World War II they tend to focus on the combat, but the Home Front is just as if not more important than the frontlines and Walt Disney had a major effect on the Home Front.

Disney is known for creating many movies representing many other cultures that many adults and children enjoy watching, but when Disney makes movies about other cultures are they fully representing them in a way that does the culture justice. Well in Disney’s latest project, “Coco”, which is about the Mexican Tradition, Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), I do not think that DIsney will represent the holiday and the culture in a way that is fun to watch but also informative on the culture and the meaning behind the holiday in a way that does it justice. My reasoning behind this statement is that Disney has made movies like Moana and Pocahontas.
