This creates brand awareness and results in many people believing that all animated movies and short films are Disney/Pixar. This makes it harder for independent filmmakers and animators to make a living in the movie industry. The characters from Disney/Pixar become universally recognized and end up absorbing any fame that independent filmmakers get for their work. The image of Wall-E shows at least 6 references to other Pixar movies. It has Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc, Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars, and Woody and Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story trilogy.

Evidence=  "Citizens use social media instrumentally to alert others in their social networks to events and fast-changing developments.¨
Reasoning= This is a positive impact because when people start spreading their beliefs in social media, it dictates some people to start believing in that cause, so you start to get more activists and when you have more people who start to fight that cause you see change. Another psotive impact with social media is that people will be more involved with whats going on and also start expressing what they truly believe in because some people feel more secure in social media.

 Negative
The average cost of Christmas for a family of four per year is $867.43

Families spend excessive amounts of money on Christmas and other major holidays, so much that the true intent holidays were meant to embody is lost. The money spent on holidays could be spent on routine expenses such as bills (rent/phone), therefore the holidays cause many Americans to face financial struggle, and even bad mental health from their economic-related stress.

It's the same for political choices as well. Countries can benefit from a political decision, regarding trade agreements or other things like that. But if a country decides to cut out all trading in and out, then the rest of the world has to figure out how to stabilize the sudden loss of resources. Such as, if the US decided to stop trading oil with the rest of the world, then others would have to make up for the sudden loss of oil. More developed countries will lose production from the expense of oil, gas price will rise, and political decisions like this would heavy impact economics in most of the world.]]> 2017-10-20 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_mckillop/gyjmxd5yt65u/wish/199128810 https://padlet.com/ryan_mckillop/gyjmxd5yt65u/wish/199128867 2017-10-20 16:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_mckillop/gyjmxd5yt65u/wish/199128867 https://padlet.com/ryan_mckillop/gyjmxd5yt65u/wish/199128874 Negative Impact

Children are beginning to feel entitled to gifts and some even go to the extent of giving Santa "directions to the nearest ATM if [their] gifts are too expensive."

Inferred Impact: This means that many icons of pop culture are seen as they are in their home country around the world: Gods and Goddesses.
