@Kajalxo1 Yes well said b/c the media can distort the truth sometimes if they edit the footage and have control of what we think of a situation

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

News channels censor + edit video footage b/c it's emotionally hard to view it but it's key to be aware of what's really happening #lesson12

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

I'm out of town but social media allows me to stay connected with my friends and stay updated about events around the world #lesson12

[Kajal Patel @Kajalxo1]

Raw clips have a sense of the exact reality that edited clips lack, thus giving us freedom of data interpretation as we want it #Lesson12

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@nat_ryan1995 Definitely, it's hard to hide to the truth now because social media allows the exposure of these events and brings it out in the open

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@nat_ryan1995 Yes unedited videos on YouTube show us what's really going on vs news channels that can edit out some parts using their high tech softwares

@c_robillard04 @MicKQuinn19 I used google drive and I shared with my TA but I'm not sure either whether he received it or not

Shocking how Disney can even make OBJECTS such as Lumière in "Beauty & The Beast" that seductive and aggressive. #Lesson11 #Disney

@safdari_mina given that its a corporation that aims to generate the highest amount of $,I believe it is the consumers who empower it,agree?

Take away message: as an entertainer, you need take on the role of a teacher "because you have someone's attention" #lesson11

@samanthamakro @jennamarra88 Yes it's so sad even the candle and the broomstick reference, I was horrified that the candle was the aggressor and agressed her to give in

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@Vamvas19 I'm horrified by the repeated gender inequalities, the violence and how many minority cultures are degraded by certain Disney characters

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@townsend_tiff Me too! I admired Cinderella a lot, now realizing she needed a man to free herself from her wicked stepmother and never dared to speak up

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@nat_ryan1995 Definitely, it plays with your subconscious, and it forms these notions that we probably don't even realize come from these "harmless" movie

[T.A. Dimitrakopoulos @pdimi_TA]

@nat_ryan1995 @IbrahimEDUC307 @mayaptl9 we are exposed to certain stories from a very early age, and they have a funny way of establishing what we later consider to be the norm.

Disney movies summarize my childhood, but I'm disappointed by the underlying messages that they project, it ruins the magic..#lesson11

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

We don't see overweight princesses in Disney movies, they are portrayed with these thin, ideal bodies..I wonder how this affects a 6 yr old?

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

Disney movies creates better real life messages today but most of the characters are still made to fit the ideal image of society #lesson11

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@AmandaGaglia92 Gender inequalities are jumping out from past Disney movies, female characters are highly sexualized vs males are strong

[Maya Patel @mayaptl9]

@AmandaGaglia92 I never thought of it past mere entertainment back when I was child, but now I'm skeptical about Disney movies...
