Social media shapes our minds & totally influences the type of messages we post in order to belong to certain groups. #lesson13

[Vasiliki Giannopoulo @v_giannopoulos]

Hate speech is used to intimidate. People need to understand that words still have an impact even if they are not said in person #Lesson13

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

I don't think organisations aim to solely oppress voices, They just don't want hate or disrespectful speech on their page. #lesson12

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@madar_amanda and thus confirming the stereotype.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@alisontellos Or just explain even if they don't ask, just to be safe.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@AmandaGaglia92 The movies that were analysed are kinda old and some of the issues cannot be applied to every single movie made by Disney. #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@madar_amanda Yeah, people learn more from informal education than they realize #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@valchouceduc307 But the evidence is there. Depends on how you look at it.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@EmilyFurholter I do not think they want you to hate Disney. Maybe just for you to be aware of the subtle problems with their movies.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

Disney is profit-driven and that affects the stories they tell. They tell stories based on the expectations of most people #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@IbrahimEDUC307 That's the problem. Ain't it? It is both good and bad.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

Once paid $20 instead of $10 for an ordinary toddler t-shirt, just because Frozen was displayed on it. 🤔 #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

Doesn't matter if the messages were intentional or not, Disney should make an effort to remove racism and sexism from their movies #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

Disney movies have a slow and cumulative effect on thinking. It is not immediate. One would not even realize the changes. #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

Mickey mouse monopoly was such an eye opener. Now I see how abusive the beast was. I did not notice before. #lesson11

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@mayaptl9 It does ruin the magic.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@educ307_elisa Really?I just thought it meant women needed to be sexy.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@tomrohan7 I think so too.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@Vamvas19 Yeah we absorb it all unconsciously.

[Onyemechi Fikani @Onyemechi_F]

@yasbay7 Good point.
