@Alexand31420522 same here! We're having to unlearn these things we learnt as children from these movies that depicted (as you said) racism and sexism. Avoiding them now as adults is better anyways!

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

#lesson11 It's crazy to think that Disney has such an influential impact on our lives as children. So many of these ideologies and stereotypes that they portrayed are things I had to un-learn as an adult

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

To be aware of current issues is much more easily accessible as a result of social media. We are introduced to way more than we could ever imagine because of technology. That being said, we have to respect the online codes. Otherwise it would be even more chaotic lol

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

#lesson13 While social media has allowed many to connect and discuss numerous topics, ideologies, interests, etc... There are not always respectful. I think that has to do with the lack of responsibility (mentioned in earlier lessons) we are held for when speaking in person

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@AnnaGyorgy3 I think, unfortunately, that being that it's online, there's the "hiding behind a screen" mentality and many are less civilized as a result

@jodoin_sarah I have to answering the tweets is so much easier! I think there's less pressure when answering a classmate's tweet, then posting an original.

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

#lesson12 Whether that be fighting gender inequality, racism, LGBTQ+ rights, and so many more. We've seen some examples this year; the BLM movements. In a pandemic, we witnessed social media being used as an instrumental tool in organizing such an important movement! (2/2)

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

#lesson12 I don't know if it's simply wishful thinking, but with such easy access to the internet and social media, I can't help but think that we can make significant difference in our society (1/2)

@teamarierouleau Right?? Like the original film was released in 1991! That was not that long ago. I cant even fathom what the thought process behind it could be. So disappointing.

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@teamarierouleau It's sad in a way too. It was a huge part of our childhood. But it's amazing to see that we have become so aware of the negative effects that these movies have had on us.

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@PorcoDana Mine was always Belle or Mulan, i liked the "fight" in them, if you will LMAO, but if we're talking real young, I loved Sleeping Beauty, i loved pink loool

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@lilyeduc307 Yes!! Same here. To really help these causes, and actually do something is to provide more information, lead our "followers" to petitions, donations, etc.., calling government officials. It's to incite change, not to "act like we care for the sake of our social media page"

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@emiliemetrakos 100%. They actively made those decisions to sexualize women, to put in racist stereotypes, etc... Because it continues to support their business, where white men are in charge. They profited off of these horrible ideas and choices.

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@padar_educ307 It was just disgusting to see the comments. Why does a beautiful black women playing Ariel threaten so many people? The "it should accurately represent the movie for our children", girl it's mermaid, it's not real. Black women need to be represented in media as well.

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@emma17346775 I was a pretty mouthy kid growing up, so when I had adults saying I had to be "good and quiet like the girls in my favourite princess films" (Cinderella, Belle, etc..) but my male classmates could run around scream, yeah that didn't sit well with me lmao

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

#lesson11 The first African American princess movie was released in 2009, that is ridiculous. Her storyline was no where near the glamorous storyline of white princesses. Why do black women HAVE to work hard to reach their goals? When it is just handed to white women???

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@Educ307F Unfortunately, as long as there are societal, or political, structures that place women below men, there will never be true and definite equality. We live in a patriarchal society based on an outdated foundation that continues to oppress women.

[Madison Slater EDUC 307 @madisonslater02]

@Educ307F I used to. It was made very clear that my opinions were less important compared to that of a man. But on the note of feminism, seeing powerful women in media helped me gain that confidence to voice my opinions. It showed me that women also deserve to be heard!
