As a child, I was definitely "secretly manipulated" or brain-washed in other terms by media who favored the principles of SWAAMP. I never really realized this until I became older and more aware of the societal issues surrounding me. It definitely is an "eye-opening" issue that will need to be acted upon.

As kids you don't realize that the white person in a king because he is white and powerful; you just think that he is powerful. You don't realize that the colored people are servants for the white people, you just go along with the cartoon or movie because that was how that producers wanted it to be. Children don't realize that producers may be doing it on purpose "secretly manipulating" us. I agree, how can we stop this from happening? or is it just going to keep happening because that is how it and society are run?

Cartoons were probably a big part of a child's life in the late 90's when all the great cartoons aired but at that time as kids we really didn't pick up on the different images portrayed. Cartoons and other things on T.V. do present a distorted image it just takes analyzing to see that and I thought your points reflected that clearly as well as the different things T.V. tries to teach.

We just say it as a princess and her life basically. We never paid attention to if the princess was a different skin color, was part of a different culture, etc. We just saw her as a princess and we paid attention to how her life was. We never pick up on the racism and sexism in the cartoon until someone says something about it. We then realize and say something like, ooooh the princesses were all white until The Princess and the Frog came out.
