Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Is It Always Right to Be Right? is a 1970 animated short film directed by Lee Mishkin.It is an adaptation of an essay by Prof. Warren H. Schmidt, a doctor of philosophy. It is a parable of "a land where people were always right". The various factions of this society—old/young, black/white, etc.—insist that they are right and the other side is wrong. Each side retreats into its own camp, communication breaks down, and the world becomes "grim". Finally, someone reaches out, and the world is brought back together.Absolutely reeks of The '70s. |

Medium Blending: Mixes up live-action stock footage and crude Limited Animation. |

comment |
The End: Schmidt's essay concludes by describing the search for common ground as "a task that never ends". Appropriately, the cartoon ends with a closing title that says "NOT THE END". |

Limited Animation: Very limited, crudely drawn animation, no doubt because the film is meant to tell a parable. |

comment |
The Generation Gap: Discussed Trope, as the parable says that "a gap appeared between the generations", and the animation shows a literal gap, followed by several more gaps as the various factions of society split off from each other. |
