Unlearning the Myths That Bind Us
Context/Premise:
-media
-stereotype
-Disney
-influence
-racism
-young children
-hidden message
Argument:
Christensen argues that the media portrays bad stereotypes and that children are easily influenced by these characters leaving them with bad judgments.
Evidence:
“At the age of three, these children had a set of stereotypes in place.”
“Although these stories are supposed to merely entertain us, they constantly give us a secret education.”
“Many students don’t want to believe that they have been manipulated by children’s media or advertising. No one wants to admit that they’ve been “handled” by the media.”
“Many who watched cartoons before we start our study say they can no longer enjoy them. Now instead of seeing a bunch of ducks in clothes, they see the racism, sexism, and violence that swim under the surface of the stories.”
Other:
I really enjoyed reading this. I know a bunch of toddlers who love watching cartoons. I never realized they could get a negative message at such a young age.
