Babies Movie Analysis

Different but Equal One-hundred pennies looks, feels, and weighs a lot different than a one dollar bill, yet they are for sure equal in the end. The pennies are different in so many ways from the bill but they both are going to equal or become the same thing whether it is an ice-cream cone or a cheap toy. The same goes for babies, babies from all parts of the world grow up in different societies and cultures.

When looking plainly at the objects that surround an African baby and an American baby it is extremely unequal. An African baby does not see a lot of medicine, water, food, toys, or books. An American baby does see a lot of these items. Yet we see that an African baby is happy with what they have, because they do not know of any other toys, medicine, or food in their environment.
