Good

Physical appearance

Ugly

C. Controversial terms
My conclusion has five out seven key concepts that are evaluative and that means it has a high chance of being controversial. Truly, there can be a disagreement when it comes to the concepts good or bad and beautiful or ugly but in the realm of animated movies, the line between those evaluative concepts are clearly drawn, so I believe that there wouldn’t be a disagreement in my definition of terms.
II. SECOND STEP: ANALYSIS OF THE CLAIM OF THE CONCLUSION
A. Conclusion’s Type of Knowledge Claim
I am simply making an empirical claim. It is an observation on how the superficiality of basing your judgment of a person’s personality on physical appearances alone permeates classic Disney works. This is especially dangerous for the major market of animated movies are children and that means that at a very young age, we are being taught that beautiful people are good and ugly people are bad. This claim can be controversial to a point that Disney fairytales are well-loved all over the world and pointing out it’s flaws will offend fans, but I believe that after presenting my premises, there will be no debate over the claim of my conclusion.
I am trying to prove a conclusion in its highest degree of empirical generalization, the ALL degree. Despite it being an empirical knowledge claim, the premises that are needed to support the conclusion are all evaluative in nature and I have found a strong inter-subjective consensus to support my conclusion. My conclusion is in the realm of the knowable and is provable.
B. What is the conclusion trying to prove?
My conclusion is trying to prove that all Disney animated feature films released between 1937 and 1992 perpetuates the idea that a beautiful appearance means a good personality and, vice versa, an ugly appearance means a bad personality. For me to prove my conclusion, I should get an inter-subjective consensus as to which Disney animated feature film characters are considered beautiful or ugly, good or bad. I did so by conducting a survey on which characters the respondents thought were beautiful and which characters they were ugly and to judge their corresponding deeds whether they’re good or bad.
III. THIRD STEP: COMPOSE THE ARGUMENT
Conclusion: Classic Disney animated feature films based on fairytales teach us that good or bad is based on your physical appearance; beautiful people are good and the ugly ones are bad.
Premise set:

Snow White is kind to everyone around her, even to animals and dwarfs.

IV. FOURTH STEP: CRICIZE THE ARGUMENT
A. Scrutinize The Conclusion
The conclusion follows from the premises. Classic Disney animated feature films based on fairytales teach us that good or bad is based on your physical appearance; beautiful people are good and the ugly ones are bad. All of the Disney fairytales’ released from 1937-1994 villains are what the inter-subjective consensus considers ugly, with the exception of the Vain Queen. However, let us not forget that in the process of killing Snow White, she transformed herself into an old beggar, making her appearance worsen, which is still considered ugly. ALL of Disney’s fairytale released from 1937-1994 protagonists are what the inter-subjective consensus considers beautiful, handsome, or attractive. I have provided enough evidence for the empirical generalization that classic Disney fairytales perpetuate the idea that beautiful is good and ugliness is bad. Physical ugliness comes along with bad behavior and aggression every time.
B. Scrutinize The Premise Set
All of the premises that I provided are evaluative knowledge claims that have a strong inter-subjective consensus. I conducted a survey on UP Manila students aged 16-20 on which Disney fairytale character they found beautiful or ugly and good or bad. From the results, I produced the premises. I believe that the premises I provided are enough evidences to support my conclusion and are not redundant.
All of the premises are of equal value in support for my conclusion because they are all taken from the different Disney fairytales released from 1937-1994. As an example, the premise that Ursula is bad is just as strong as the premise that Maleficient is bad in proving that the said fairytales teach us that physical ugliness goes with a bad personality. In the same vein, the premise the Snow White is good and Cinderella is good both prove that the fairytales also promote that one’s physical beauty always goes along with a kind, selfless, good personality.
The Counter-Argument
I. FIRST STEP: EXAMINE THE STATEMENT OF THE CONCLUSION
Conclusion: All classic Disney animated feature films, released from 1937-1994, based on fairytales have characters whose personality is not based on their physical appearances.
II. SECOND STEP: ANALYSIS OF THE CLAIM OF THE CONCLUSION
A. It is an empirical knowledge claim with the highest degree of generalization ALL. It is in the realm of the knowable and is therefore provable.
III. THIRD STEP: COMPOSE THE COUNTER-ARGUMENT
Conclusion: All classic Disney animated feature films based on fairytales released from 1937-1994 have characters whose personality is not based on their physical appearances.
Premise set:
Ariel disobeyed her father a lot of times by going into the surface.
Ariel goes to the surface to satisfy her vast curiosity.
Disobedience is bad.
Deontologically, Ariel is bad.
Teleologically, Ariel is not bad.Al
The Beast is arrogant.
Arrogance is bad.
The Beast is bad.
Aladdin lied about his identity by pretending to be a prince.
Aladdin lied about his identity because only princes are allowed to marry princesses.
Aladdin wants to marry Jasmine because he loves her.
Teleologically, Aladdin is not bad.
VI. SIXTH STEP: EVALUATE BOTH ARGUMENTS
As we can see, the counter-argument’s conclusion is non sequitur, it does not follow from the premises. The flaws of the protagonists may be wrong but they’re just human nature and the intentions behind their actions are always good. The villains, however, go out of their way to satisfy their greed and evil and are willing to kill innocents to get what they want. It is uncanny, however, that in all of the animated feature films Disney has released between 1937-1994, all of the villains are bad looking. The strongest premise would be found in Beauty and the Beast. It is the perfect example of them perpetuating the belief the ugly is bad and beauty is good. Because of his bad behavior, the Beast was transformed into by an enchantress and the only way for him to be “handsome” once more is to change his ways and get Belle to fall in love with him. It should also be noted that the films even go further and transform the already “ugly” ones into something even more horrid like a fire-breathing dragon or a scary old lady to perform their evil acts.
The argument proved to have stronger support than the counter-argument. Classic Disney animated feature films teach us as children that we can always trust beautiful people and we should be wary of ugly people. This is a dangerous concept to perpetuate because in the real world, physical attractiveness has absolutely no correlation to one’s personality and morality. It is dangerous for if we find ourselves with an attractive person who turned out to be a serial killer, we are doomed. It is also offensive because it perpetuates that you have to be what is considered beautiful by mainstream norms in order to be good. It teaches us that we have to have perfect hair and a waist as thin as our wrists to be considered good. As a Disney fan myself, conducting this research has exposed me to the horrible truths that Disney teaches us.
