I agree with you @kyle_petel ! This has allowed me to understand the perspectives of others and their opinions on certain controversial topics. #educ307

[Kyle Petel-Smorodenski @kyle_petel]

I honestly truly enjoy this social media platform. It allow people to express themselves freely and put positive remarks out there for fellow followers to see and give their inputs as well. #Educ307

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

@Benliber1 I do believe that social media has more positives than the negatives because communication has never been this easy in the past. #Lesson12

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I watched this show too! It's crazy how easy people have access to all our information especially where we live from a click of a button. #Lesson8

[Sabrina Zrihen @SabrinaZrihen]

I watch this show! It really made me second guess our safety on social media and how being "private" only protects you to a certain extent #lesson8

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I hope in the distant future, issues surrounding our privacy gets resolved so that kids from future generation don't have to experience what we went through. #Lesson9

[Sabrina Zrihen @SabrinaZrihen]

I honestly think it's crazy how were in 2019 and one of the biggest issues we face is relating to our privacy #lesson9

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I prefer Face-Time compared to constantly just text messaging. At least I get to see the person I'm talking to. #Lesson6

[Emma Rollins @EmmaRol48504440]

Face-Time is the new face-to-face communication. #lesson6 #educ307

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

Yes at the end of the day I pay to go to school to be taught my professor and not by the powerpoint slides that they read off. #Lesson7

[Anton Martynov @AntonMartynov15]

Teachings should be aided by technology, not overtaken! #lesson7

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I'm glad that I live in a country where I have access to social media so that I can communicate with friends and family who live abroad.

[AliShahinV @AliShahinV]

We are lucky to have social media as a means of communicating since some of these social media platforms are banned in some countries

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

This is scary because it's true! I remember the days where I used to spend most of the days outside in the park with other kids. Kids these days need to be active at their age and should not be spending majority of their leisure time inside. #Lesson6

[Kyle Petel-Smorodenski @kyle_petel]

Kids today are staying inside at home, instead of playing with ropes and swimming. This is alarming for many of us. Being active is essential for children and adults. #Educ307 #Lesson6

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I always experienced that but I decided to install Adblock on my internet browser to prevent ads from appearing whenever I use Youtube. #Lesson9

[Kyle Petel-Smorodenski @kyle_petel]

Youtube always has ads that are relevant to what I searched on google. Anyone else expierence the same thing? #Educ307 #lesson9

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

It truly is unfair! I have seen so many wonderful performances by actresses such as Viola Davis and its a shame that women don't get paid no where close to men. #Lesson10

[Kyle Petel-Smorodenski @kyle_petel]

The truth is that women are still face with inequalities and it is unfair! They get paid less compared to males and for what? A person should get paid based on their qualifications. and THAT IS ALL. Other factors should not be in effect. #Educ307 #Lesson10

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

My favorite Disney film as a child is Aladdin. I'm also happy that they made a live action film! Can't wait until it hits theaters next month. #Lesson11

[George C @GeorgeC11822724]

What was your favorite Disney film as a child? Was it mentioned in the film? #lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

In this era, social media is one of the most influential tool that allows people to keep in touch with others world wide. #Lesson12

[Kyle Petel-Smorodenski @kyle_petel]

Social media provides people with the tool to keep in touch world wide. #Lesson12 #Educ307

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I'm shocked that over a billion people visited a Disney theme park in the span of 9 years! This truly shows how much power and influence Disney has in the entertainment industry! #Lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

Although some of the previous Disney movies had some faults when depicting some of their characters, I would still show my kids classical Disney movies and hope new Disney movies display more diversity. #Lesson11

[dem_kris @demkris1]

when you have kids will you show them the classical Disneys movies? #lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

As kids we were naive and oblivious of hidden messages that were being presented in movies but as we grow, we learn to unravel these messages that turn out to be negative. #Lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

Many of the hidden messages can affect someone unconsciously especially if they see it often enough in movies. #Lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

Yes I agree that there are so many stereotypes in Disney films in which the villains are portrayed by non-white characters. #Lesson11

[Kyle Petel-Smorodenski @kyle_petel]

"How did gender and racial/ethnic portrayals in Disney films change over time?" So many examples of stereotypes and prejudice are found in Disney movies... Examples include the black hyenas and the hispanic robber #Educ307 #Lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

Not only Disney movies, but movies in general have always portrayed men to be the hero or protagonist of the story in which they save the damsel in distress. I hope to see the roles switch where women are seen as equal to men. #Lesson11

[sophialiankorbibo @sophialiankorb1]

In previous Disney movies, the princesses were always seen being saved by men. Almost engraving the idea in little girls' heads that they have to be dependent on men at such a young age. #Lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

A big corporation like Disney definitely has the power to reach millions of children across the world despite what their age or culture is. #Lesson11

[George C @GeorgeC11822724]

I believe that Disney has an impact on the stories it tells since it reaches literally millions of children that span a large age range #lesson11

[Thavaniya Thambu @thavaniya]

I definitely agree that Disney should include more positive messages so that kids can learn life lessons and morals starting from a young age. #Lesson11

[NaomiY @NaomiY19421636]

Disney needs to include more positive messages, lessons on life and fierce women #lesson11
