Watership Down (ID)

In our government class, our teacher decided to show us a movie about rabbits. Yes you heard it right, rabbits. While at first I was a bit skeptical about this movie, I have come to realize that these rabbits have similar patterns and ideas as we do. While we believe we are the superior species that lie in the world, the rabbits believed it as well. These rabbit had similar thinking patterns as humans that there was even sexism portrayed in the movie.

One thing, while I saw the movie, was that their form of governing themselves and as well everyone else. It has come clear to me that even rabbits have their own form of government system that everyone has to follow. At the beginning the main characters Hazel and Fiver were under a form of dictatorship rule that they weren't even allowed to leave, even if it was on their own free will. In reality we have to think if other species have similar traits that resemble ours.
