Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse's Impact on Culture
"In saloons, in graduate seminars, in barber shops across the land, whenever particular people ask, who truly, are the giants of the twentieth century who defied reality as we know it three names loom: Freud, Einstein, Walt Disney." These are the words of David Borland, a student of popular culture.
Some aspects of the American dream are to grow up to be successful, maintain a marriage, and live happily with children. Though this does not occur as much as it used to, Mickey brings about the best in families through places like Disney world where he tries to create a vacation where many people can go and have an enjoyable experience with their families. Today, you cannot find many places where the whole family can completely enjoy themselves. Even though this has much more to do with Walt Disney than Mickey, Mickey himself has become the icon for the company and therefore plays a huge part in making this happen.
