Hi everyone!
I chose the disney film Brave which I’m sure many are familiar with! Throughout Lippi-Green’s article, she related statements back to her argument which is that animated films- particularly disney films teach children to discriminate and form stereotypes against others by having different accents that are non MUSE. In the film that I chose, I noticed that overall, the film didn’t have accent stereotypes like most movies did made back from 1937’s-2010.
The overall plot of the movie Brave is set in Scotland focusing on a teenager girl named Merida who happens to be the princess of the kingdom. Merida is very independent young woman, who is courageous and wants the freedom to create her own path deciding her fate. Running away and …show more content…

Angus, who is her friend and trusty steed is a horse.
As for stereotypes throughout the movie, one stereotype that I notice that Scottish culture is portrayed as barbaric people. For example, the way they eat with their hand, to their loud, gruff outgoing personalities. The Scottish accent also helps evoke these stereotypes in the film.
One character that was an animal and spoke was the crow and he had a MUSE accent which I thought was interesting.

Overall, in the film I would say Disney didn’t have many stereotypes throughout because they have a large and varied audience that are watching Disney films. The accents and location of movie were correlated correctly as well. Although there were stereotypes still present in the film, this Disney film tried to stay true to the the Scottish accent and Scottish culture during that time period. The stereotypes can impact young children and viewers to assume things of particular cultures, referring back to the barbaric personality.
I found through this activity that language plays a huge role in the way culture is and how it varies from place to place making every culture

Stereotypes in media have been around since the earliest cartoons were drawn. The media gives supposedly identifying traits with images of the stingy Jewish man, the single Hispanic woman cleaning homes to raise her three children, and the “butch” lesbian falling for the beautiful blonde who just happens to glance at her every day in the hallway. These portrayals make up general knowledge about minorities for a lot of people, but their accuracy is questionable at best. While production companies have been making strides towards the better, insufficient representation in the media tends to portray minorities as their negative stereotypes rather than as people.

Lulu Asselstine Mrs. Olsen LA 8 5 November, 2017 Stereotypes and Perspectives When looking at a bunch of bananas in a grocery store, people tend to choose the perfect spotless bananas, since stereotypically food that is perfect looking, with no flaws, taste better. However, people soon realize that when you start to eat bananas that have more spots and are imperfect they turn out to be sweeter and better. This connects to stereotypes because people who follow stereotyped will always eat the perfect bananas; however, people who choose to look through another perspective can realize that the imperfect bananas are better. This connects to The Outsiders because Ponyboy realizes this after he talks with two Socs, kids from a rival group named Randy and Cherry. In The Outsiders, S.E Hinton presents the idea that teenagers can break through stereotypes if they look at life through another perspective; as shown in the book when Ponyboy starts to talk to Cherry and Randy and realizes the stereotypes about them are false.
