Effects of the Disney's Policy Changes on the American Popular Culture

The state of popular culture the way it is leaves a lot of room for interpretation.  For instance, if you have
watched the television or read a newspaper over the past few years you have probably seen it gradually
gaining prominence.  It is a subject that seems to have battle lines that are clearly defined and staunchly
