@tregliasamantha I feel the same way! As a child our minds are open to anything we see and hear, and we take things very literally. Looking back on it there are so many fundamental issues and misrepresentations in Disney movies.

Mickey Mouse Monopoly really reminds me that it's important to think about these movies critically. Over the years Disney has pushed a lot of harmful messages. First and foremost Disney is a corporation that tends to hide behind its innocence. #Lesson11

@RenadSalah19 I agree, Disney paints very false images of the world and of people who may not look like them.

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Do you think Disney is trying to improve their image by creating more ethnically diverse characters? #Lesson11

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Looking back on the Disney movies I used to watch growing up I can see massive issues regarding gender roles, racism and stereotyping. As a child I was almost blind to this. We need educate children about the real world and the issues that exist in these films. #Lesson11

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Over decades Disney has built a media empire by misrepresenting cultures, by using racist imagery and remarks, and by creating stereotypical gender representations. They need to do better. #Lesson11

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

I think Disney's ethnic portrayals have only recently began to change from what I've seen in the ads for their new films. I don't believe diversifying their ethnic portrayals is enough to change their image from a predominantly white charactered film company. #Lesson11

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

As a global media corporation, Disney controls the content, stories and messages it shares. They continue to advertise their own content and market their products to children and their families. #Lesson11

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Some key takeaways from the Mickey Mouse Monopoly are that media giants control the messages we see which influences our perspective on the world. For decades, Disney has been stereotyping non-white cultures & ethnicities, and constructing bias and false gender images. #Lesson11

Social media and niche online communities are really important in regards to feminism. Women should be encouraged to speak up and express themselves in a safe environment! Especially in areas of the world where they aren't heard. #Lesson10

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

@RoryCain14 I agree! We can really see this through the use of niche online communities in areas of the world where women and minorities do not have a voice in society

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

@annam4444 I believe it's safer for men. Women must take even more precaution when using social media and we're subjected to more criticism and disrespectful communication

[carinafrezza @carinafrezza307]

It's 2022 and women in some countries are still punished for just being women, think about it. #lesson10

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

@tanyalobianco It's really sad and hurtful how groups in general are stereotyped or mistitled by others; especially by those who oppose the group's position or point of view

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

@XGagnon40129579 I agree with you. Social media allows us to be reachable at all times. It's also scary that bullies can continue to create new accounts to hurt others when their previous account is blocked or removed

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Social media is one of the most important tools for social change! The ability for a message to reach across the world in an instant is incredible. We can spark movements across the globe thanks to social media platforms #Lesson10

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Have you ever joined or participated in an online niche community? #Lesson10

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

I think many of us glocalize- share experiences and ideas using online social media- without even realizing it! #Lesson10

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

Feminist media activism is so important and needed in society!! Women need the right and equal opportunity to voice their true feelings/opinions. It affects gender representations by creating environments where women can become empowered and heard. #Lesson10

[EDUC307_CM @Educ307Cm]

@GabyEDUC307 This is a great idea! Learning about privacy and safety online should be taught as soon as technology is brought into the classroom.
