Mona And The Mean Girls: Cartoon Analysis
I am writing to express my concern about the cartoon show Mona and the mean girls, that you direct and that your TV station NECKELODEON TV have recently started broadcasting. Personally, I think that certain scenes showed in the cartoon are not appropriate and might have negative effect on the young audience of the show.
I have a younger brother whom I babysit after school. He is a fan of NECKELODEON TV and enjoys watching shows broadcasted on the channel. I have always allowed him to watch your station because of its child-friendly content. However, I have recently watched with him an episode of the new released cartoon, directed by you and I have to admit - I was very concerned about the content and overall message of the show. Moreover,

    Goffman’s theory says that Impression Management is the effort to control or influence the perceptions of other people. Based on what I watched in the film, I can conclude that this theory is reflected in most of the characters of the film because people can see how each of them try to control or influence other people. A clear example of this was when The Plastics had a three way conversation on the phone with Cady and they all started talking behind their backs being influenced by each another.…

    1. There are many gender stereotypes present in Disney films. Some of the most common ones are seen in almost all main characters. The women have big breasts, small waists, fluttering eyelashes, they are also very seductive and use their sexuality to get what they want. Women are seen as weak and being the “damsel in distress.” For male characters in Disney, they are always seen as heroic, tough men, with chiselled chins, outrageous muscles and the perfect overall body. They are always seen as the ideal perfect man. Many Disney movies including The Little Mermaid, The Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella demonstrate that to be happy, men and women have to have the “ideal” physique.…

    Taking its origins from a poorly reviewed movie, the 1997 TV how by the same creator, Joss Whedon, brought to the screen a 16-year-old high school student whose destiny was to “stand against the vampires, the demons, the forces of darkness. She is the slayer” (Whedon, 1997). The introduction of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (BTVS), as a character, though not a new one, was revolutionary. Challenging the preconceptions of traditional horror, comedy, romance and teen movies, Whedon has created a character and a show that provide a postmodern, feminist hero for a generation of girls. With themes of monstrosity set up to represent human fears and the potential monstrosities of society itself, set up against a supernatural background, with the typically…

    This article focuses on TLC’s hit reality show Toddlers and Tiaras and its “mired controversy.” This article sided with the fact that sexualizing a 3 year old is wrong, as most would agree. The driving factor of this article is what TLC released footage of a 3 year old dressed like the prostitute (Julia Roberts) in the movie Pretty Woman stirring up much controversy in the media. This source is credible being that was written and edited by Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education for the “Parents Television Council” (a non-partisan education organization advocating responsible entertainment). The article not only showcases a popular TV show, it also uses information from the American Psychological Association of February 2007. This source was helpful in providing numerous points to support my argument.…

    First and foremost I think that the government is the people who has influenced this experiment the most. Obviously because the are they ones who funded the project. They are the ones that started the idea that supposedly that syphilis was a black people disease. And that they react with his disease very differently than white people. The misconception that this disease was a "black disease" and how they did give the best treatment to the white people. This top secret experiment was cruel toward the black community. This again showed that racism was still going on. . It started off with the idea to treat black people that have the disease. Yet because later there was less funding, it became an experiment.…
