Cube Interpretation: Analysis of Mentally Disabled in Society
Suppose you were handed a particularly hard math problem to do. In order to help you solve this problem you are given two resources. One of these resources is a mathematics professor and your other resource is a mentally disabled college student. Given that there are no limits to how many questions you can ask and you are allowed to ask both resources, a question that comes up would be whether or not you would ask the mentally disabled student. It is very likely that some people would only ask the professor questions regarding the questions and completely ignore the student due to the fact that the student is mentally disabled.

The way some people view the mentally disabled in our country is a very regressive way to think. Some think that the mentally disabled cannot provide any benefit to our society and that it is best to keep them somewhat isolated from “normal” people. This film tries to show the viewers all the benefits that could come from re-incorporating the mentally disabled back in our society and I think that it is very important that we take this measure to remove the negative
