Stephenson: Human death should be as impactful as animal death in movies

Leah Stephenson, Collegian Columnist • October 21, 2024
In entertainment media, audience reaction to human death tends to be less extreme than animal death. Whether a character is a person or a creature, viewers shouldn’t feel neutral or apathetic to death on their screen. However, this seems to be a growing trend.

Seymour: Voting in local elections is as important as federal elections

Charlotte Seymour, Collegian Columnist • October 20, 2024
