<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After researching online, there are different ways teens
talk back to the dominant images that are available in mainstream media. Teens
have a lot to say when they get to represent themselves. Something that I came upon many times while
researching was, self-image/ media influences.
Media, social and peer pressures influence the way teens see themselves.
Self-image issues can lead to eating disorders, drug and alcohol use, cutting,
bullying, etc., which relates to what was said in Croteau’s reading, Media and
Ideology, “one of the principal reasons why media images often become
controversial is that they are believed to promote ideas that are objectionable,”(162).
I discovered a great site, which is all about the YES (YOUTH EQUIPPED TO
SUCCEED) nonprofit organization helping equip teens to succeed by educating
them through young speakers. I noticed
that teens use social media to talk back on the issues on how they are
represented. These social medias included Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube,
etc. “The media give us pictures of
social interaction and social institutions that, by their sheer repetition on a
daily basiss, can play important roles in shaping broad social definitions. In
essence, the accumulation of media images suggests what is “normal” and what is
“deviant”,”(163). Unfortunately, young teens are typically portrayed in the media. They are hypersexualized, reckless, and cliquey. The media creates these false images of teenagers that can ultimately influence younger girls into believing that this is the standard. Certain images can effect a young girl's self-esteem and self worth. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">While looking at
different blog posts, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=qNhTMPQkWMQ">youtube videos</a>, and websites, teenagers talk back a lot on how they are
being portrayed as a whole, and how the unrealistic images are being seen as
normal, when in reality it is not. <o:p></o:p>Something else I found interesting while researching was the
Spotlight, digital media and learning website. <a href="http://spotlight.macfound.org/about/">CHECK IT OUT</a>! I am posting one
of the “webisodes” link, I found from the Spotlight, which explored how youth are
represented in the media and how young people can use media more effectively to
spark <a href="http://vimeo.com/19129587">change</a> in their communities. Do you think teens are talking back as much as they should? </span></div>

foundational text for the study of hip hop. Rose has written other books such
as The Hip Hop Wars, which she argues that fans and detractors alike have
offensive arguments about why the genre is bad and why it’s great. She writes
as both a fan and a social critic. Rose has taught at different schools, and is currently a professor of Africana Studies and the Director of the Center </span><span style="color: #404040;">of</span><span style="color: #404040;"> the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown University. </span><span style="color: #404040;">Rose argues that the record industry is not
selling music, fashion, or television, but selling blackness. She states that
that it is a very particular concept of blackness that has little to do with
real people and everything to do with violence, drugs, sexism, materialism,
etc. Hip-hop artists may be getting rich, but at what cost? Could it be the
messages that are being sent to younger people watching? This reminded me of Orenstein’s </span><i style="color: #404040;">Cinderella ate my daughter</i><span style="color: #404040;">, when talking
about princesses. “Princess” “has not only become the fastest-growing brand the
company has ever created, it is the largest franchise on the planet for girls
ages two to six,”(Orenstein, 14). Just like </span><a href="http://www.aux.tv/2013/12/20-worst-rap-lyrics-of-2013/">hip-hop music</a><span style="color: #404040;">, no matter how horrifying
the images and lyrics are, it sells. Even though the Disney princesses gave out
certain images, negative or positive, and even though it could “damage girls’
self-esteem or dampen other aspirations”, since it was making money, production
kept happening. “Who doesn’t love nail polish with flower appliqués? Who doesn’t
like to play dress-up now and again, swoosh about in silk and velvet?,”(Orenstein,
21). For young teenager boys, why wouldn’t they like hearing about getting
girls, getting money, etc.? I feel that this reading was really relatable to
what Tricia Rose talked about in her video and question/answers from Time
magazine. </span><span style="color: #404040;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #404040;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After watching the YouTube clip… I
felt that she was a wonderful speaker! She has opened my eyes to matters of
inequalities in our popular culture. I liked the part where she talks about how
we don’t share lived experiences nearly as much as should. She gave the example
of how people say “I have two friends that..”. We ALL have friends of different
backgrounds.. We exchange most cultural knowledge through pop culture and feel
we know each other thru it, when in reality that is not exactly the case. She
gave the example of the time one of her colleague called her “shorty”. She
asked questions such as, who taught them that? Where did they hear that? She
said it’s like an MTV moment gone wild! I agree that we need more cultural
knowledge and literacy on hip hop culture. This reminds me of Croteau’s,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Media and Ideology, when talking about the medias images. “One of the principal reasons why media images often become so
controversial is that they are believed to promote ideas that are
objectionable,”(162). Media images, such as hip-hop music, can display
behaviors and lifestyles that may neglect people who are different from the “norm”,
as Croteau explains. The media can “normalize” certain behaviors/social
relations, which may be problematic. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I
agree with Tricia that radio is killing hip-hop, and artists need to take more
responsibility. Hip-hop has changed drastically, and does not sound like it
used too. I like when Rose said, “There is an incredibly rich world of hip-hop
that has been literally buried. I tell my friends and students, That’s why they
call it the underground- because it’s in fact buried. But it’s not dead; it’s
an underworld.” I have noticed in many recent “popular” hip hop songs that
violence and sex are what is being talked about… in negative ways. The artists
make themselves look sexist, and create negative images. Do they do it because
they know it sells? I literally cannot even listen to most of the hip-hop music
because it is so bad. The tune may be
great, but the lyrics are terrible. When
an artist can’t go one line with out saying, “bitches”, we have a serious
problem. There are many talented artists out there that do not need to “dumb
his/her music down”, as Rose puts it. It makes me sad that artists are doing
this just beacuse it sells! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">b. I chose to <b>write freely</b> this week on the four texts, though it is kind of a <b>reflection</b> too. Starting
with, Queer Representation in the Media, the key issue that this text rose are the negative portrayals of queer representation. These may include sissies, butch, fag, and the list goes on. The negative portrayals remind me of something from the reading, </span><i style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cinderella Ate My Daughter</i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">. "When I was growing up, the last thing you wanted to be called was a "princess": it conjured up images of a spoiled, self-centered brat.."(19). There seems to always be stereotypes for people, no matter their sex, age, race, class, etc. Sadly, it seems that there is no escape from stereotypes. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> The media can give inaccurate
representations of how queer people behave, what their desires are, points of
view, etc. The media may just give images of what gets the ratings good reviews, rather than
actually portraying a more realistic image.. which may actually be really hard
because everyone has their own representation of themselves. In the media, gay men can be represented as extra feminine and lesbians as extra masculine. Can you think of shows that portray this idea?</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In
Queer Representation in Film and Television, the key issues are pretty much the
same as the ones found in the media, since television and film are forms of
media anyways. In television and film, there are often stereotypes being
portrayed by actors/actresses that are not accurate, and this is key issue that
the readings mention. In film and television, it often seems that queer
representation can be seen as a negative thing, when it should be seen as
something positive, especially since teenagers are the majority watching</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> films and television series. If queer
representation was presented in a more positive way more often, maybe it would
give queer teens more confidence in being who they are, and knowing that it’s
okay to be outside the "norm". This was another key issue in the readings. This reminds me of what Croteau stated in <i>Media and Ideology</i>. "Media sell both products and ideas, both personalities and worldviews; the notion that mass media products and cultural values are fundamentally intertwined has gained public acceptance,"(161). This piece by Croteau relates extremely to the readings on queer representation in the media. "The implications of our popular media images and the apparent lessons they teach about society,"(162). Media images can become controversial because they can possibly promote ideas that are objectionable. These images can also suggest what is "normal" and what is "deviant", which can be especially problematic in the queer community. Something that I found to be
problematic from the reading was when it talked about how queer media does not
rely on queer people being the intended audience, or that queer people even be
affiliated with a cultural product in any way other than as consumers. What did
you think about this when you read it? As seen in the reading, Hollywood can
give out negative depictions of homosexuality, and the portrayals that some
Hollywood films portray may marginalize and silence the queer community. In many television series and films, those who identify as queer feel like they have to be embarrassed or keep their homosexuality a secret or hidden from friends and family. This reminds me of the HBO series, <a href="http://variety.com/2014/tv/reviews/tv-review-hbos-looking-1201050482/">looking</a>. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> Another issue that the text raises is how Hollywood in the past has presented homosexuality as an object of ridicule and laughter. Homosexuality was even portrayed as being dangerous, violent, predatory or suicidal. I find it quite disturbing that networks on television were willing to feature queer characters as long as the shows drew high ratings and if they generated profits for advertisers. Some shows that were mentioned in the readings included Will & Grace, Glee, etc. In Pink Dollar Marketing and Queer Representation in Advertising, one of the key issues is that companies continue to employ negative or restrictive stereotypes of queer people in order to give there ad campaigns an edge. Advertising can also put queer people into certain stereotypes, just like the media, films, and television. The ads can be problematic and represent homosexuality as a punch line. In the reading, it is seen that mainstream companies such as McDonald’s, are courting for queer dollars. In Strategies for Engaging with Queerness in Media, one of the key issues being talked about it whether or not queer characters, situations, and themes are being balanced.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have chosen to connect
Orenstein’s article with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Unlearning the
Myths That Bind Us</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Getting Older
Younger</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to start off by
talking about Orenstein’s article, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cinderella
Ate My Daughter</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the article, the
author states, “Princess, has not only become the fastest-growing brand the
company has ever created, it is the largest franchise on the planet for girls
ages two to six,”(14). At such young ages, we are already brain washed into
playing and needing or wanting to have the “hot” toy that’s for sale and whatever
is “popular” at the time. This relates greatly to the reading, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">They’re Getting Older Younger”</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teens are heavily influenced by what they see
in the media and get whatever is being mainstreamed, just as these two-six year
old children, and will buy the product no matter the price. The items may include clothes, accessories, babies, American girl
dolls$$$, etc.). Both the teens in that article and the children mentioned in
Orenstein’s, are driven to keep up with the latest products and styles that are
being marketed. In Christensen’s piece, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Unlearning
the Myths That Bind us, </i>she talked about how in our society’s culture, the
industry has a major impact on our minds and how it teaches children and teens
how to act, live and dream. That part of the article relates greatly to
Orenstein’s piece, especially when she talks about when she visited the
Fisher-Price showroom. “The preschool <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CU040Hqbas">girls’ section </a>was decorated with a
banner on which the words BEAUTIFUL, PRETTY, COLORFUL were repeated over and
over (and over) in pink script,”(51). While on the other hand, the <a href="http://www.upworthy.com/do-you-notice-anything-different-about-this-toy-catalog-because-kids-do?c=mrp1">boy’s section</a> was in blue, and the titles held words such as energy, heroes, and
power! I find that pretty disgusting those these were the words chosen for
girls and boys. Boys should not think they are the only ones who are capable of power, and girls should not think that all they can ever be is "pretty'? It gives young children the wrong idea of what reality and LIFE really
is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This relates to what I mentioned
early in Christensen’s piece; children are taught what roles they can and
cannot hold, what they can and cannot do, how they should and shouldn't act, etc. These are
distorted views/images that are being displayed for young viewers. . ..\/</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The piece
got me so aggregated, and it makes me nervous on how society is going to be
when I have my own children one day. I want them to make there own decisions,
and play with whatever toys they want to play with, and not be pressured into
what the media is advertising and telling us how to act and who to be. “Outside,
on the streets of Manhatten, it was the twenty-first century, but the scene
here in toy land was straight out of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mad
Men</i>, as if the feminist movement had never happened,”(51).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Orenstein’s piece, I found it interesting
that one of her daughter’s friends asked her why her helmet wasn’t pink, and
since it wasn’t pink it wasn’t a girls one. I agree with the author when she
states, “Would other girls view her with suspicion-even exclude her- if she did
not display the proper colors?,”(39). Peer pressure and bullying are starting at such a young
age and continues throughout teenage years and adulthood. Although these articles were focused on different topics, they all seemed to coexist in many ways that I mentioned throughout the blog post. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
a) Name: A Cycle of Outrage : America’s Reaction to the
Juvenile Delinquent in the 1950</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Author: James Gilbert </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
b) I chose QUOTES</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first quote I have chosen is on top of page 12. “Look
focused on this visual confusion, claiming that the new adolescent subculture
of the 1950s looked aggressive, even if not all youngsters were on the way to
becoming criminals. Interpreting their new habits required special insight and
knowledge; for example, an understanding of the special new language.” As time
goes on, the looks and attitudes of people change. This change may be different
for each individual, and each individual may have a different experience
depending on your race, class, and the time period and location of where you
live.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we have an idea in our head
of the looks of different people…. This includes “goth”. “prep”, “tom-boy”,
etc. Each individual has a different vision of what look is “aggressive” or
not. People are being judged and put into stereotypes just by the way they
look/dress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This whole topic of “looks”
reminds me of Raby’s reading, and the five discourses that she went over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout our teenage years, we go through
different changes and experiences, good and bad, and are risk taking and experimenting.
We should not be judged by the way we look by peers and by the older
generations, as seen in Gilbert’s reading. When Gilbert talks about the
interpretation of new habits require special insight and knowledge such as an
understanding of a new language, it makes me think of our generation. With
social networking and other types of media, we learn a new form of language
that we use in our day-to-day lives. For example, my grandpa would never text
me and say “yolo” or use the abbreviations such as LOL, TTYL, LMAO, BRB, ETC.
Do you think <a href="http://parentingteens.about.com/od/talktoyourteen/a/teen-slang.htm">language</a> is changing with time?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second quote I have chosen is at the bottom of page 13.
“On top of curiosity and worry came the increasing recognition that teenagers
had a major impact on the shaping of American popular culture.” I believe this
is pretty much talked about throughout the whole article by Raby, and even
throughout the previous articles that we have read thus far in the course. It
is clear that teenagers DO have a major impact on the shaping of American
popular culture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Changes occurred such
as clothing, hair, music, dance, behaviors, etc., mentioned at the bottom of
page 14 due to TEENS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teenagers have had
a MAJOR impact on society and the world! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The third and last ((LONG, SORRY!) quote I have chosen is in
the middle of page 17. “From the middle of World War II into the 1960s,
adolescent behavior changed abruptly and distinctly in several categories: sex
and marital behavior, work habits, consumption, and attitudes to peer
institutions. Much of this new behavior emerged from high schools, which, after
World War II, became the universal mold of teenage culture. How to evaluate
this institution, of course, depended upon the eye of the beholder. But to many
observers, adolescents were creating their own world characterized by a
premature adulthood.” Throughout the article, it talks about the changes
teenagers were going through as time went on and as different events were
happening throughout the media, such as Elvis Presley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to teenagers rebelling against their
parents, like many teens do today, high school authorities started banning
certain clothing and haircuts. This is even present in some of today’s high
schools. I remember girls in my school being sent home because of short skirts
or short shorts, or if our shirts were too small or showing too much skin. Did
anyone have similar experiences in school? As seen in the reading, adolescents
were creating their own “premature adult culture”,(Gilbert, 22). They were
creating their own new styles, new appearances, and new culture. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
I really could relate to the five
discourses of adolescence stated in this article, which included the storm,
becoming, at-risk, social problem, and pleasurable consumption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everybody may have a different experience
with how they experienced their teenage years. I first want to relate “The
Storm” to my early teenage years. “This metaphor is used to describe an
essentialized, ahistorical understanding of adolescence in which teens are
inherently inclined towards experimentation, risk taking and
uncertainty,”(431).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the media, I was
always taught that my teenage years were the best years of my life. As seen in
the reading, this culture celebrates and idolized YOUTH.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know about you but I feel that my
teenage years were not the best! These were the years that our bodies were
changing, there was a lot of self-exploration/self-expression, all different
types of experimentation was happening, bullying was occurring, SEX was
happening, people and friendships were changing, and life was getting harder
and really confusing at times. I just turned 20 in November and can already say
being in my 20’s is much better than being in my early teens! My teenage years
honestly stunk! In the reading, Raby mentions that adolescence “offers the
luxury of making mistakes,”(434). I believe in this statement because we are in
a stage our life where we can do and try different things and not worry about
the consequences as much as we would in adulthood. We are in a sense, “allowed”
to make mistakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The “at-risk”
discourse makes me think about high school and it does relate to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a major concern for risks mentioned
in the article, which included drugs, alcohol, depression, eating disorders,
sexual diseases, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I entered my
freshman year of high school, I was not expecting people to be already having
sex and doing drugs. I felt like my innocence was stripped away from me as soon
as I went to high school, and I was only 12! I felt so much stress in high
school due to all of the pressures that I was starting to deal with. I wish I
could go back in time and hang out with a different crowd. Did you guys have
any similar experiences?!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What about
dances? I was not expecting high school dances to be so disturbing. Due to
people literally having SEX on the dance floor, our school created a new rule,
which stated: If you BUMP AND GRIND, YOU CROSS THE LINE. We had so much
supervision! This relates to the reading when Raby talks about <a href="http://www.stageoflife.com/prom.aspx">prom</a>….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The prom is marked as a
coming-of-age rite in which young people are expected to temporarily act more
like adults (coupled, dressed up, refined). Yet proms are also highly regulated
spaces, with a strong presence of teachers’ authority, and many rules to
suggest that the students’ fling with adulthood has to be closely monitored and
that not all that adulthood has to offer is really open to the students,”(439).
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are being taught independence and
that teenage hood is a time of self-discovery but then on the other hand we are
being hovered by the authority /older adults. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a teenager can certainly be a confusing
and irritating time.

I felt like this article relates to <i>Unlearning the Myths
That Bind us</i> by Christensen. Our society’s culture industry teaches us how we
are supposed to act, live, etc., and this is one of the many pressures that adolescents face, as mentioned in Raby's reading. </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
c. Something I would like to talk
about in class is the expectation(s) teenagers have by adults. We are told to
be responsible and act like adults, but at the same time the adults are
regulating us and treating the teens like children.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The first quote I have chosen is on
page</span> 126. “Our society’s culture industry colonizes their mind
and teaches them how to act, live, and dream. This indoctrination hits young
children hard,”(Christensen, 126). This quote sums up what the whole article
talks about. The article talks about how the media, such as the television,
gives us the image(s) of how people should act in the world, and how the images
portrayed are what is normal when in reality it is not. Everything outside the images are considered to
be outside the norm. As seen further in the text, the industry teaches young
minds about who and what are the dominant sex, race, religion, class, etc. We
learn these things at such a young age, and may not even realize it until we
are older. I really never thought about it until becoming a Gender and Women
studies major. I am sure you all have seen a <a href="http://iwanttobeadisneyprincess.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-does-cinderella-say-about-women_19.html">Disney</a>
show or film, and can point out the distorted views that it can show. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The second (long!) quote I have chosen is on page 128 in the
middle of the page. “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. They assure me that they make their own
choices and the media has no power over them-as they sit with Fubu, Nike,
Timberlands or whatever the latest fashion rage might be,”(Christensen,
128).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After reading this, sadly I have
to admit I was once manipulated by children’s media or advertising. Were you?
There are so many unrealistic images of how women and men should act that are
clearly shown in Disney movies/cartoons. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Disney movies give an
image of what is “beautiful”, who is “powerful”, who gets the guys/girls, and
different gender expectations. Disney movies/characters impacts peoples’
self-perception and self-esteem. Since young girls and boys watch these movies,
unrealistic ideas begin to form in their minds and they may not understand what
is reality versus make believe. Throughout the article it talks about the ways
we are manipulated by children’s media or advertising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some ways that were presented included the
ways in which we “behave, think, react to things,”(Christensen, 129). One
example is the way the movies can impact peoples’ self-esteem and
self-perception on what defines beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
of the Disney princesses, including Belle, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella,
etc., all have thin bodies, beautiful hair, and of course end up with a
handsome MAN.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Why must these princesses all end up with a man?</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The third quote I have chosen is on
page 130. “Students are quick to find the usual stereotypes on their own: “Look,
Ursula the sea which is ugly and smart. Hey, she’s kind of dark looking. The
young, pretty ones only want to book their man; the old pretty ones are mean because
they are losing their looks,”(Christensen, 130). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This quote is also relevant throughout the
whole text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As young people are viewing
these movies/shows/cartoons/etc., they are getting the wrong image in their
head on what/who gives you power, what gets you love, etc. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These Disney movies show how the only way a
man can fall in love with you, is if you are beautiful. If you are not
beautiful, a man will not even pay attention to you. What kind of example is
this setting for young children? This may be why there are so many cases of eating disorders in young girls. I still do enjoy watching Disney movies but think since I became a Gender studies
Major, it has opened my eyes to the different ways media can affect people. I
am now able to point out the effects of gender expectations and how such things
like Disney movies may impact people’s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_perception">self -perception</a> or
self-esteem about themselves and other individuals.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of the points I would like to
further discuss in class would be the effects that the Disney movies and
cartoons are bringing to the younger generations. Do you believe that the media
is giving a good image(s) to the young audience who is watching? Most of the
Disney shows/movies that I have watched consist of white, heterosexual women
and men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe there should be a
more diverse group of characters portrayed in these movies/cartoons. The images
that the media is giving are not healthy images. These images include the roles
of women, men, people of color, overweight women/men, and poor/rich/etc. Something
else that I found interesting in the reading is the idea of having a black Cinderella.
How about a black and lesbian Cinderella?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Children should not get this idea that only white women are capable of
being a princess and falling in love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This would create such a social change. </span></span></div>

Hi everyone!! My name is Lauren Veyera. I'm 20, a Gender and Women studies major, reality show addict, dachshund lover and have been working at a daycare off main street East Greenwich for almost two years. Besides working over break, I took an online class, Gend 350: Gender, Technology and Social Media. It was pretty interesting and I recommend taking it if you're looking for another gender course!! I also watched all 8 seasons of Dexter over break and it was amazing! I am taking this class for my major and because the topic of the course really interests me. I'm really excited for the semester and to get to know each of you some more!!!<br />
