Reading this article honestly made me really angry. Media has such a big impact in today's society. Children are watching Disney movies about Princesses and Princes thinking that is the way their life should be. That every young girl should be this tall, skinny, beautiful girl, who will meet her Prince Charming and everything will be perfect. Also, young boys are seeing this and thinking that they have to chase after a girl and wait on her hand and foot. This is not true whatsoever. Today there is so much independence and we now realize and try to teach kids at a young age that you need to be yourself. If media didn't have such a big part in our every day lives this generation wouldn't think and act they way we do.

The link above is really powerful, it really makes you wonder why people think this way and why cant every child be accepted for who they really are, and who they want to be.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you said. I think that these princess movies are giving bad examples to children.
