#Lesson11 For the Avon campaign, I think there was also somewhat of a language barrier there, and perhaps if I understood everything that was said in the campaign, I would’ve found it more impactful
#Lesson11 I don’t feel the campaign really evokes how prevalent and common these microaggressions can be, but especially how damaging they are to all women. The reality isn’t that you can just hang up the phone, or flick away your aggressor, and do it all with a smile.
#Lesson11 In the Avon campaign, I think I would’ve also liked to see the woman reacting with less smiles and laughs to these microaggressions being said to them. I think it’s hard to raise deep awareness on an issue when the issue is not portrayed in the most realistic way.
#Lesson11 I wasn’t particularly impressed by the delivery of this specific campaign. I would have loved to see this done in different settings though, like a woman at work in a position of power rather than having her at home getting ready
#Lesson11 There’s always a strong chance that campaigns like Avon’s will start conversations on the topic in households, friend groups, between partners and so on
#Lesson11 I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Disney magic part of it, but perhaps if children were also taught to recognize racism and prejudice early on, it would help them grow into more respectful and aware adults.
#Lesson11 I do think it’s necessary for children to learn about this, in a way that teaches them to think critically, without necessarily ruining the “Disney magic”
#Lesson11 I had never realized was how prevalent the racism and racial stereotypes were in the movies. We talked about racism in my household, but never looking at it in Disney movies
