Top-down communication is a great way to get those voices that aren't heard, heard. #lesson12

youtube videos are just people posted without editing which allows us to create our our opinion on the content. #lesson12

@larosajulianna Thats what happens when you have big hungry cooperate men creating the movies, but growing up no one really noticed the undertones until people over social media starting pointing them out.

@ConcordiaAlice I love this! Yes, Disney did put underlying messages that were negative, but they also put positive ones. Which were the ones we took forward in life. Only seeing the negative messages later on in life.

I've always loved the princess movies but I never had thought of the deeper effects it might have, this explains our societies distortions when it comes to body image issues #Lesson11

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

@Thisiswidler True, but disney always portrayed itself as “innocent” family entertainment. Therefore no parent questioned their movies..

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

When you walk into the staff room and you hear people talking about how the media over exaggerates any situation.

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

Men are the ones who hold the majority power within disney so they were intentionally making it sexist and racist. #lesson11

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

Disney also is teaching us that it is ok to stay with someone who is abusive. That it's ok, if you just love them enough, they turn around. Which is never the case.

@stephwalters307 I know! I'm actually going to disney in a few weeks and it's kind of ruining my trip.. I can't look at mickey and all the princesses the same! 😥

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

@_anjaali they overtime, changed with the culture but still kept their "innocent" image and continued to put underlying images.

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

@tayarcher94 same, even the simpsons.. i used to watch it so innocently... but also realized i took a lot of language from it also...

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

@stephwalters307 when we are younger we are simply too young, as adults rewatching we choose to ignore the underlying messages as it destroys our childhood memories.

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

I will agree however, that Disney did start us on the track of how women should look.

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

To children, a Disney movie is images of innocence, magic and fun. So how is that wrong? #lesson11

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

Is it wrong to allow Disney to shape our children's imagination? #lesson11

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

@misssara955 Very true, but they have always portrayed their charaters like that.

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

@misssara955 Out of all the Disney movies i think theres one 1 black princess. They were very racist, but seem be trying to put more culture into their movies now

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

As we grow up and rewatch the Disney movies we all saw the underlying messages we just chose to over look them to keep those memories we had about them.

[Deidra Blacker @deidrablacker]

This weeks reading legit just killed my childhood. 😭#lesson11
