Disney recently just acquired Fox News (21st Century Fox) for $71.3 billion. Fox is often associated with ring-wing media and ideologies, but Disney is associated with more liberal views. Here's an article about the acquisition: https://t.co/cb5IAPTPOG

The Disney example is one of many organizations that hold just as much if not more power/influence. This is why we need to take images we see every day with a grain of salt! #Lesson11

@educ307cassm I agree! I really enjoyed this lesson as well. It really makes you look at companies from a different perspective! #Lesson11

@SaraLamarche1 Well said! The influence they have over children is incredible. Some may realize these issues when you're older, but my parents for example still see them as problem-free. #Lesson11

@educ307cassm I agree! The image I tweeted before was really an eye-opener. #Lesson11

The innocence definitely helps hide the fact that they are a profit-driven organization, and that they prioritize profits over social ideas. #Lesson11

@DowdallMaeve I agree! These recent films are a huge change from their past movies (i.e. Cinderella) and I hope to see more advancement like this in the future! #Lesson11

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

It's important to acknowledge the revolution that Disney has done for media, but that doesn't mean it is free from criticism. #Lesson11

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

The gender roles that are perpetuated in the Disney movies and shows is very detrimental considering how much media they influence. #lesson11

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

The Disney media monopoly is very interesting to see. Look at this image of how many companies they own. Here's the link for the article: https://t.co/p0W4xK7qVb

@EderyNaomi Very well said! It's a pivotal change. #Lesson10

An important feminist movement that has caused a lot of conversation is the # Metoo movement. #Lesson10

The fact that I need to post this @PEduc307 makes me think that we need to review the material, so here you go. https://t.co/VPwN2bP3Ko

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

Understanding how public discourse shapes our knowledge and beliefs is important for feminist conversations. #Lesson10

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

Well said! Privilege must be acknowledged. #Lesson10

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

Here's is an interesting article about women in politics and how important it is to represent the actual population https://t.co/Sp8XY4o9la #Lesson10

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

Reading about the multiple waves of feminism has been very interesting. I didn't know that each of these waves was so different. #Lesson10

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

Very true! Feminism is about inclusion and intersectionality! #Lesson10

[Naomi Edery @EderyNaomi]

Feminism is a huge misconception.. Many believe that feminism has to do with the superiority of women and belittling men, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth!! #Myth #False #Misconception #Lesson10 #EDUC307

[Brandon Correia EDUC 307 @Educ307BrandonC]

With the aid of social media, it has caused a ripple effect with the spread of feminism! It's has caused needed dialogue in our cultural landscape. #Lesson10
