Disney and our youth


I personally feel that Disney movies bombard the youth with the concept of traditional gender roles. We all love Disney movies, but some of the lessons that they teach contribute to the stereotypes of genders. They show archaic attributes of femininity and stress the masculinity of the male characters.   

This video does a great job of pointing out specific examples as to how Disney represents the typical gender stereotypes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsy3BblcjCA&feature=player_embedded
