#EDUC307

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

This was the first class I've had to create a twitter account for. I really enjoyed discussing with all of you about #educ307 !!! It truly did enhance the learning process.

the constant need to feel connected really explains why we're so dependent on technology #lesson12

trying to find the motivation to start journal 5 early!

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

I was just speaking with my friend today about how we miss the excitement of buying magazines! I rarely ever buy magazines anymore because I've already heard of everything they feature on the internet already! #lesson12

Moana, for example, is quite different than snow white, cinderella, belle, etc.

Disney has definitely evolved since their original films in terms of how women are portrayed

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

My brother and I always used to sing the "savages" song from Pocahontas and of course I never knew how wrong that song actually was... Just goes to show how easy it is to manipulate children into believing certain things

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

On the other hand, Mickey Mouse Monopoly was eye opening and made me realize so many things in many different Disney movies that I never realized before

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

I really do feel like the Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary analyzes Disney films a little too deeply. It has to be kept in mind that the majority of those films were made when women were not as independent and racism occurred more often.

@AkshayPatel0656 It is a very common misconception, for sure!

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

It's really unfortunate that people are still mistaking feminism as women believing that they are superior to men #Lesson10

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

@v_phengp Good point. She probably would be!

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

Another Lebanon rape law that I am shocked by is that men can rid their consequences of rape by proposing to the woman and marrying her #Lesson10

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

@Lianagarbin1 I agree and I think if they continue to use their platform, more and more people will become aware!

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

I think it's great that celebrities like Patricia Arquette (during her acceptance speech at the Oscar's) are using their platforms to raise awareness for such important issues regarding feminism

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

RT... so much to do toward the end of the semester for every class!! https://t.co/hpEZcYQ3KB

Who would've known that there isn't a word for feminism in the Arab language

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

@DaphneeChouinar I had no idea that there were 3 different waves of feminism!

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

Lesson 10 really made me realize how lucky I am to be a female living in Canada, considering all the rights that I have compared to many women living in other countries across the world.

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

@aliciadayan_ I agree. I'm glad we learnt about this in #Lesson10 , very eye opening.

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

@sandragirgis6 Can you imagine if someone in Montreal was questioned like that? I'm sure we'd hear about it all over the news. Crazy how different the rules & regulations are from society to society

[Alexa Landreville @alandreville_]

@vpulice_educ307 It really is sickening and so unfair. I agree with you, feminism does need to be equally present in every culture
