My area of interest is: Disney Princesses
My initial claim is: Disney princess movies teach children that there is hope in the world, and as we grow up this hope gives us courage in our oncoming future. Also, each individual princesses and their stories have powerful lessons to teach kids, and inspire them to become great and powerful women.
Others might say: Disney princess movies are bad for the mind, giving children unrealistic interpretations of what the future holds, and happily ever after.
How this is significant/ What does this say about our culture: People all chose to raise their children in different ways, filling their minds with all sorts of morals and ideas that they feel is right. Some parents challenge the idea that "children shouldn't watch unrealistical, magical, or fantastical, movies" because its "bad for their minds" or "teaches them false things about life" But, children need that sense of hope and creativity at a young age to grow up happy and healthy! Even if there are no Fairy god mothers or princes that save the day, there are forms of those in the realistic sense, and we need to never lose sight of the positivity that reality can bring to us.
My resources will be: "Disney princesses no more"
"Gender roles and steriotypes found in disney movies"
