Frozen and a few other topics. Another idea that I’m finding myself thinking about still are the problematic ways Disney movies tend to portray other cultures, and leave out their history, and quite often, result in generalizing, especially the movie Aladdin. The movie doesn’t state where it takes place, but people often generalize it to the middle east area (as all the same). In addition, the main thing that evolved after my discussion relates to race and culture in Disney movies. Almost all…

Although the words sex and gender are often used interchangeably, they have two different meanings from a sociological perspective. Sex is a biological characteristic that determines whether someone is a male or a female (Carter 2011). Gender, however, is socially constructed based on definitions as to what is “masculine” or “feminine” (Carter 2011). This paper delves into the social forces that can influence gender in any culture.

One of my most vivid childhood memories was when I was ten years old and my parents did something that we still talk about this day. I can still remember the smell of breakfast as I woke up that morning knowing that it was going to be a long day because we were driving to, rather than just flying South Carolina, to watch my oldest brother graduate.

England, Descartes, and Collier-Meek (2011) claimed that Disney Princess films portray stereotypical presentations of gender roles and have several examples of racism and sexism by having almost every princess have large…

While most films offer a sort of distraction from reality, musicals are often a utopia of wealth and happiness (Belton, 2009). Through dazzling song and dance, they make routine look like pageantry and loneliness feel like individuality. Even the most conservative of musicals transform the everyday into a spectacle, transitioning dramatic tensions into a melodic fanfare.
