Economic Issues In The Film 'A Bug's Life'
A BUG’S LIFE: RELATED ECONOMIC ISSUES
A bug’s life is an animated film that talks about the oppression of the Grasshoppers to the colony of Ants. This film depicts similarities and mirrors out some real common economic issues that we deal with.
First economic issue I have noticed is the division of labor the colony of Ant has. Its obvious at the start of the film, because I have seen the ants do their jobs on their own, which is what we also know about them in real life. Some have to look for the food and place them on the proper place while some will be the one responsible in supervising the order in the colony.
Second issue related is the Grasshoppers’ treatment to the Colony of Ants. They are like the Monopolist in the business world

    The Use Of Metaphor In The Emperor Of The Air

    One issue in the story that seems to eat away at the narrator’s life is his health problem. In the story, the narrator states, “A heart attack. Myocardial infarction, minor. I will no longer run for a train, and in my shirt pocket I keep a small vial of nitroglycerine pills” (pg 4). I think Canin is using a metaphor between the insects and his heart attack by showing examples in the story of how his heart attack has slowed his life down and enabled him to…

    Movie Analysis: Ant Island

    I don’t agree with Webb’s depiction of the film because I feel like if the ants were able to overthrown their oppressors then they would be able to over throw a queen they didn’t like. Also if they had such an issue with Flick they could have executed him but instead they just adjusted to his ideas and his new ideology of…

    Walt Disney's 'The Ants And The Grasshopper'

    In Walt Disney’s version of “The Ants and the Grasshopper”, Walt Disney presents a one-sided view of the grasshopper as carefree and reliant on others. As the ants prepare for winter, the grasshopper sings, Shirley Temple’s hit “The World Owes Me a Living”, while he prances and taps his foot. When the grasshopper notices how hard the ants are working, the grasshopper laughs. Although the grasshopper is extremely blissful, he is carefree. For instance, the grasshopper precedes to call one of the ants over and casually says, “I see no reason to worry and work. No sir, not me!” The grasshopper believes once winter comes, he will have food although he hasn’t prepared. Despite the queen ant’s warning, "You'll change that tune when winter comes and…

    Comparison of the Ant and the Grasshopper

    Both the ant from “The Ant and the Grasshopper,” and Lottie from “The Richer, the Poorer,” concern themselves with preparation and comforts of life. For example, the ant from “The Ant and the Grasshopper” was a very hard worker. During the summer, he worked hard, saving food for the winter. He sacrificed fun and other obstacles so he wouldn’t starve to death during winter. Likewise, Lottie is similar to the ant, even though she is human. She was a laborer, who was always trying to hold up a job. She sacrificed buying candy as a child, and saved every penny that she earned, so she could use it when she really needed it. Lottie lived a very comfortable life, and often scolded her sister, Bess, for the way Bess didn’t save money like her. Near the end of the story, Lottie lets Bess move in with her, and had to do loads of work to prepare and take care of her. Thus, these two characters plan to keep their lives secure with hard work, saving, and sacrifice.…

    Dependency Theory

    Three issues made this policy difficult to follow. The first is that the internal markets of the poorer countries were not large enough to support the economies of scale used by the richer countries to keep their prices low. The second issue concerned the political will of the poorer countries as to whether a transformation from being primary products producers was possible or desirable. The final issue revolved around the extent to which the…
