It touches on Disney movies and introduces the term "Princess culture". In some sense you can connect this to the 'male gaze' and how at an early age, we are training our young girls to look a certain way, and that is beautiful, clean and proper. This will eventually get them their prince]]> 2019-04-10 13:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350332965 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350335091 This article talks about Disney movies and how they promote stereotypical gender roles in young girls. It talks about how these behaviours and roles are learnt by the ages of 4 or 5. If we're teaching these roles to our girls at a young age, this could lead to a lot of issues later on. This could lead to a lot of girls dealing with mental heath issues and going to extremes to meet society's expectation on women.]]> 2019-04-10 13:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350335091 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350350502 This article talks about how Disney movies have created "princess culture" in young girls. They also talk about what it really meant to be a princess prior to Disney movies being released in the 1930's.]]> 2019-04-10 13:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350350502 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350352229 This article talks about Disney movies and gender roles. It talks about the new Disney movies and older ones and how they portray gender roles. You see a shift in the newer ones where the princesses are not as feminine as the older ones.]]> 2019-04-10 13:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350352229 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350355703 I came across this video while doing my research and it's a great video. It talks about the new vs. old princesses and how young girls look at these princesses as role models. This leads to the question as a parent, "do I let my child watch all Disney movies? Or just the one's with a strong independent lead?". The hosts also talk about the psychological effects that these movies have on young girls.]]> 2019-04-10 13:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350355703 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350440232 Similar to the other articles and videos, this video talks about how princess culture is hurting young girls. We are teaching young girls about body image, how to behave and what to wear.]]> 2019-04-10 16:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350440232 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350455432 This Video shows the progression of Disney movies, characters and gender roles. Thankfully, The princesses have shifted from focusing on how they look, being super feminine and waiting for prince charming to save them to make life better. Todays Disney princesses such as Elsa and Moana teach girls about empowerment and being strong. Disney is slowly shifting towards female empowerment and moving away from stereotypical roles. This could help young girls today when dealing with the pressures of society and how they should look and act. They are starting their early childhood with strong and empowering princesses/ Disney characters.]]> 2019-04-10 16:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350455432 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350460276 Here we have a picture of our old Disney princesses. Most of us grew up watching these girls and copying them in every way. They taught us things like beauty, being young and naive, depending on others to help or save us (That's not always a bad thing). We learned how to cook and clean after men. We should be okay with men kissing us in our sleep and making us their princess.]]> 2019-04-10 17:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350460276 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350460750 In addition to the older princesses, we have newer ones. These hew ones took a step forward in the right direction and expose young girls to empowered women. They are not your traditional princesses and teach young girls things such as hard work, independence, motivation and empowerment.]]> 2019-04-10 17:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350460750 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350472388 This is a picture of a bunch of girls dressed as a Disney Princess. If you notice, they are all posed like how a princess would pose. Looking at other pictures here, their poses are similar. This picture is just to remind us of our childhood and how for some girls, if not a lot, grew up with Disney.]]> 2019-04-10 17:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350472388 chrissypd https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350627478 Here is my reflection of my research and findings.]]> 2019-04-11 03:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chrissypd/lyw8c1nj8ih9/wish/350627478
