The main character tries to be someone who she's not. She doesn't like to embrace her natural roots.]]> 2019-12-11 05:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422565101 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422565413 2019-12-11 05:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422565413 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422567463 The main character was struggling with being herself and expressing who she really is. She was brainwashed at such a young age to wear a mask and be someone who her mother wanted her to be. Her role model was her mother, who went through the same thing when she was little. ]]> 2019-12-11 05:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422567463 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422567772 This movie really spoke to me even though I'm not black however it made me realize how important it is to be myself and be proud of where I come from. I wouldn't want my traumas as a child to be passed on to my kids and have them struggle with identity in the future. ]]> 2019-12-11 05:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422567772 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422568243 This movie shows how everyone wore a mask and had no conflict with others because everyone looked the same. Once she took it off everyone was surprised and made comments about it. Nappily Ever After is similar to this because in the beginning when she was a little girl her hair was straight until she went in the pool and her hair got curly and people made comments. ]]> 2019-12-11 05:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422568243 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422568645 Violet's love interest tells her that "brothers want a woman who is real" because throughout the movie the audience can notice her being superficial and very tense with who she is. Everything had to be a certain way. As you get deeper in the movie, she becomes outgoing and laid back with everything around her. ]]> 2019-12-11 05:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422568645 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422569895 I believe women struggle with self confidence and it starts at a young age and we see that in the movie with Violet. I can relate to Violet because I looked different from everyone else in my school and I got picked on for it and it made me feel miserable. I did try to change myself to gain that confidence but it was always short term because that was never who I initially was. ]]> 2019-12-11 05:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422569895 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422570560 Women have to go through a lot to get ready for the day. From hair to make up to dressing a certain way. I wouldn't say we do it to impress others but we do get treated differently when we look certain way. ]]> 2019-12-11 06:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422570560 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422571123 This movie doesn't really discuss this issue but it does exist within cultures. There is a lot of discrimination based on having a certain skin color. What's considered beautiful in countries like India, Africa, and Afghanistan they make it known that being fair is considered beautiful versus darker skin color. ]]> 2019-12-11 06:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422571123 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422571495 We, as women, care too much about our appearance. We can't let our makeup get ruined, or hair get messed up but we don't stop and think about what we're experiencing in front of us. Life is too short to be hung up over small problems like that. ]]> 2019-12-11 06:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422571495 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422572078 This movie shows how being a perfectionist isn't something that is realistic. This movie encourages people to be themselves and how it's okay to make mistakes along the way because that's the way life is. We live and learn which is the point.]]> 2019-12-11 06:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422572078 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422572279 Self esteem is being able respect yourself and accept yourself the way you are. Having self esteem allows you to be successful in work and school. Violet's self esteem gets shattered when her love interest doesn't propose to her so she loses her job and is just lost with who she is. ]]> 2019-12-11 06:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422572279 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422573754 The actress explains how she felt connected to her role because we were all grown up in separate boxes. Our peers, parents shape how our society is as a whole. The disney movies portrayed false role models to us that aren't realistic to women who don't look like that. This movie tries to change that beauty standard that if you don't look like those models it's okay, just embrace who you really are. ]]> 2019-12-11 06:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422573754 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422575463 This movie embraces women empowerment because we are judged pretty harshly based on our appearance. When a guy tells his mother or someone they're seeing someone the first thing they ask is for a picture or if they're pretty. This video explains the misconception of beauty and how it's changed in society. The media has taken a big toll on this. ]]> 2019-12-11 06:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422575463 fstaymuree https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422576531 Beauty standards are always changing and social media has affected that. Society and social media has trained women on how to look. On instagram, the common thing these instagram models have are pretty faces and big butts and if they have those they get a lot of likes/ admirers. Many women get surgery to change how they look to get that reassurace from others.]]> 2019-12-11 06:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/fstaymuree/tkw6aluheec7/wish/422576531
