Rise of the Equality of the Apes

The new remake of the Rise of the Planet of the Apes advocates a great and heartfelt film placed around the theme of inequality. For many many years, for as long as I myself know, the inequality of animals have been present. Contained, and not given any chances at all, this film depicts the will of these captive animals and how they fight to establish a basis for freedom. Whether it is in our genetics, or in the way we are simply programmed through our experiences, no one wants to be stripped from their innate right of freedom. Animals are the same. Just because we are at the apex of our food chain, does not give us the right to treat others with inferiority. We tend to think that humans are the only ones with intelligence on this planet. But science has it that we are only .6 percent different than that of apes. What a vast difference indeed in comparison to the way we look and communicate and a whole lot of other facets. But what we forget is their intelligence as well. We find it extraordinary when they perform a simple task that we didn't think possible. We are not consciously aware of their intelligence, something that we neglect. Now, whether we think that it's artificial intelligence or not, every living thing has their programmed way of living. Whether that is in humans or animals alike. We ourselves know what it is like to be treated unequal similarly. That is why we fought for what we believe in! All the revolutions that occurred throughout our history did not happen for no reason. It happened, yes, and that is why we are able to live the way we are now (Americans). Now these apes are experiencing a similar situation in comparison to how humans once lived. They were treated with no respect and that just isn't fair. Ultimately, the way we treat the ideas around us, and the mere fact that we simply try to place an iron fist over every possible situation, will come back to bite us in the end. The simple image illustrated above evokes many thoughts and emotions. Ultimately, when we should look at another living being, we should instead treat it like as if it were another human being in respects to our interactions outside of humankind.
