Stereotyping has been a problem for society for many years. People believe that stereotyping does not exist because they might not experience it, but little do they know stereotyping has existed for quite some time.

The presentation of the film was effective to how the message was given because the baby doll was big compared to the other toys, which were all very small because they were playing toys for children, the baby had the mind of a baby and would go try and get what it wants.

"My child. We may be evolved, but deep down, we are still animals. " Zootopia is animated film centered in a city of humanlike animals in which predators and prey can peacefully coexist in a society. This movie expresses a bigger message that that when people are prejudice upon others based on their culture or even their own bias and fear, can lead to others being treated unfairly and hurt. In this essay I will argue that one can change their prejudices and the way they think of how they interact and accept the different types of people around them.

Many stereotypes of African culture have emerged due to western literature and media and first hand accounts of explorers. Things Fall Apart offers a view into the truth and reality of African cultures, which are often misconceptualized by these stereotypes. Acebe shows how African society functions well without assistance from foreign travelers. In Things Fall Apart, Achebe counters the imperialist stereotypes of Africa by keeping certain words in the Igbo language, as opposed to translating them into English, to fight back against the spreading western culture and to embrace their own way of life.

The film, Crash, emphasizes the differences of cultures and classes. It focuses on the reality that we are all individuals and that adaptation of the human condition is hopeless. That the need to compete and the desire to win are more important than the justification for human decency.
