8. Explain how, Mouse Trapper 2010 and Mickey Mouse Monopoly, are good examples of the different approaches of political economy and cultural studies

According to Grossberg(1995), he believes that "cultural studies ignores the institutions of cultural production, it celebrates popular culture and gives up any oppositional role; ...because cultural studies ignores economic, it is incapable of understanding the real stuctures of power, domination, ad oppression in the contemporary world." In the Mickey Mouse Monopoly however they do discuss the deep cultural meaning of the disney movies. How the "hidden messages" influence another person's perception about certain situations such as domestic violence. In the Mouse Trapped 2010, it shows how the economy effects them and how they are living "paycheck to paycheck;" that Disney is not really the place of where dreams come true because the people who work there are getting very little pay for all the work they do.
