For more than 50 years, different generations have grown up accompanied by Disney films. These inspired many viewers to dress up, and even dream of that “happily ever after” with which most of these films conclude. However, as generations changed, they became aware of the stereotypes and gender roles that the characters shared. One of the best known: the princess in danger who could only be rescued by a prince. These models have affected in one way or another the self-esteem, confidence, and security of many people who do not fit the role. How big has the impact been? The impact of a story According to Sarah M. Coyne, a psychologist and professor at Bringham Young University, Disney princesses represent one of the earliest examples of the thin ideal . On the other hand, many of these stories shared the idea that women could only hope to fall in love and wait for that “rescue” that fits perfectly with sexist values.
Parents should consider the long-term impact of this culture . Sarah M. Coyne, psychologist at Bringham Young University. Various studies show that the Disney world has been responsible for promoting gender distinction between boys and girls. Example: pink for girls and blue for boys; dolls for them and cars for them. Keira Knightley has confessed that at home her daughter was prohibited from watching Cinderella (1050) and The Little Mermaid (1989) because of the negative values they transmitted to women. From her trench, actress Kristen BYB Directory Bell, who voices Anna ( Frozen ), also shared that she felt uncomfortable seeing her daughters watching films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937), due to how all kinds of stereotypes of gender and sexual consent. This encouraged those responsible for the education and development of boys and girls to begin to use social networks as a platform to make these roles and the damage they could cause visible.
