    Little Girls Or Little Women? The Disney Princess Effect By Stephanie Hanes

    I decided to write my evaluation essay based on “Little Girls or Little Women? The Disney Princess Effect” (Chapter 23) written by Stephanie Hanes. I looked through most of the essays from the textbook and this really spoke to me.

It must have been very stressful to my mom because my sister would no longer wear skirts that are “not short enough” and follow celebrities’ diet meal plans when she was supposed to get well nourished. It took me long enough to realize that I was exposing her to the sexualized media environment when…

    Beauty In The Bluest Eye By Toni Morrison

    A three-hundred-year history of slavery in America led to a psychological oppression of black people in America, which still exists today. Toni Morrison decides not to delineate how white dominance has affected African-Americans culturally yet she challenges American standards of white beauty and how that beauty is socially constructed within our culture. In The Bluest Eye, Morrison uses society’s image of beauty to demonstrate how the value of black beauty is diminished by racial prejudices and dilemmas through the lives of Pecola Breedlove, Claudia and Freida MacTeer, whose young minds were affected by this internalized idea that the color of your skin determined how perfect or worthy you were seen, not to yourself and on the inside, but…
