As Disney Grows, Should We Fear The House Of Mouse?

Last December, Disney announced that it was purchasing 21st Century Fox for $52.4 billion. This deal is set to change to the landscape of film and entertainment. Disney also announced that they are planning on releasing a streaming service titled Disney Plus in the future. On top of that, Disney is also releasing over nine movies across television and in theaters.

With these recent announcements, Disney has made people concerned. People have begun to question what will happen once Disney controls 40% of the box office. Some have even gone as far to blame superhero movie fans for this and think that it will ruin entertainment.

Honestly, those people should just relax.

I don't think this buy-out of Fox is something moviegoers should be so concerned with to the degree they currently are. This is not a political issue any normal person can protest against. This is something that only businessmen and politicians can have any effect on, really.

I don't mean to sound like Thanos here, but nothing can stop Disney from doing this. Because of that, I can understand the concern some people might have, but until Disney starts buying into other industries and getting into some corrupt illegal shenanigans, I think the general public should just hold their horses a minute.

If you don't want to go see movies because Disney is becoming big, then go for it. You are completely free to do so. I don't think it's fair to attack other people who don't really care about how big Disney is getting, because at the end of the day, they are just an entertainment company that produces film and television.

Personally, it does not bother me much how big Disney is now. I don't go to the movies much unless it's a Marvel Studios movie anyway, so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the movies that come out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
