Antz

ANTZ Movie The movie Antz showcased several of the things that we learned so far in the civics course. The movie revolves around the fight between different ideologies of the types of government that should be in place. It also shows how being an active citizen and having social trade-off can help work for the common good of the community. It also shows that how our actions can greatly affect all the communities that we are a part of. There are many beliefs of the types of government that the ant colony should have. Each has their pros and cons, but only one type truly recognises every ant in the colony. General Mandible believes that the colony should have an autocratic government.

The movie “Antz” related to ideas we have studied in Civics by, showing a non-democratic society, showing an autocratic leadership style, and showing that Z wanted their colony to be like a utopia. The movie shows a non-democratic society, because each ant has a set place within society, which removes the opportunity to choose for yourself what you will do, or how you will do it. In a democratic society, we have the opportunity to exercise the choice of what we do, and this is because we are…

The movie Antz highlighted different elements of different societies. There were types of society in the movie, The Queen’s, The General’s, Z’s and Insectopia’s. In my opinion, the most successful society of the four options is The Queen’s Society. The Queen’s Society is a monarchy, with different levels of “power”. With the Queen’s Society, the ants were assigned different tasks. Near the beginning of the movie, you can see worker ants digging a tunnel. These ants were assigned the job a…
