Background of the study Women's rights neglect often lead to a discrimination, exploitation, violence, injustice, and others in which feminists consider it as an oppression of women. The oppression of women takes place in almost all countries and religious groups. Where the oppression that took place in almost all countries has been successfully dismantled by the feminists in their respective countries, and continue to expose the experience of oppression experienced by women. The main purpose of tearing down the oppression of women is to fight for the humanity of women to be equal with men (Simon 4). Feminism began to show its existence in the era of liberalism in Europe and the time of the French Revolution in the eighteenth century (18) which evolved into the United States and around the world. At that time, Mary Wollstonecraft in the late 18th century wrote a book entitled, "Vindication of the rights of women", the contents of which can be said to lay down the basic principles of feminism later (Tong 21). The essence of feminism is for women to have equality as do men. However, in the direction of gender equality between women and men, feminists are divided into several streams according to the main focus of their teachings. Such as, liberal feminism, radical feminism, Marxist and socialist feminism, existentialism feminism, psychoanalytic feminism, postmodern feminism, and Ecofeminism. 1 2 Ecofeminism born of an anxiety would feminist perspective on nature and human behavior (women) who proved destructive to the ecological and creating gender inequality, which in turn threatens the process of development and human existence itself. The bad reality felt by nature today is the same as that of women. The development process takes a long time with the exploitation of natural resources has become an important marker bad that the idea will humans relate to nature, need to be deconstructed again (Irwan 5). And it becomes important, as this ecological slump is created at a time when development is dominated by patriarchs. The fundamental aspect of the patriarchal view of nature is the obsession to dominate the world, not humans. Like men dominate women. According to Warren (360), hierarchical thinking, dualistic, and oppressive it has damaged nature and women. Warren wants to assert that the patriarchal view of nature has influenced what women are. Nature is the same as women. Women are the same as nature. Rejection of the ecofeminism against patriarchal worldview that wants to dominate nature, according to ecofeminism, the same as there is no justification of male superiority against the destruction of nature and women with a mature plan (19).

  • Two Recurring Themes Populate the Kingdom Hearts Series: 1. True Power Comes from Friendship and Connections with Others 2
    Two recurring themes populate the Kingdom Hearts series: 1. True power comes from friendship and connections with others 2. Women are useless The protagonist of the game is Sora, but first, background: Kingdom Hearts is the heart of all worlds and a source of immense power. It is controlled by a weapon called the x-blade (not to be confused with keyblade), which acts as its key. Long ago thousands of people used keyblades (not to be confused with the x-blade), magical weapons that can lock and unlock stuff and also have lots of other powers, to fight for control of the x-blade (not to be confused with the keyblades, which they already had). In the process the world was split into lots of different pieces which were then walled off from each other with a substance called gummi. In the less-distant past, Xehanort, a boy from Destiny Islands, escapes his tiny world and becomes a keyblade master in his own right. He learned that there are many worlds (which is supposed to be a secret) because Xehanort-from-the-present sends a version of himself back in time to tell him about it and then tells him to travel to a bunch of different places because time travel requires that a version of one’s self must be present at the time and place. More on that later. He’s friends with Eraqus and Yen Sid who are also keyblade masters, but then they aren’t friends anymore because Xehanort is evil (but later he pretends to be good).

  • The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls
    The Effects of Disney Princess Movies on Girls By Camille Porter-Phillips Eighth grade project research paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School June 2014 1 Introduction Personally, before this project, I thought that the Disney princesses were foolish. People have been watching Disney movies for nearly 100 years and through the course of this project I realized that they are actually really foolish and my beliefs were affirmed. Since the Walt Disney company started in 1923 (Gillies), its movies have become very widespread and pervasive. My question is, have Disney princess movies affected girls? In this essay I will show that watching princess movies affects girls’ independence and body image. I will first give a background of Disney and their princesses, then show how the princess films might affect girls and then describe how to evaluate them. Background The first princess movie the Walt Disney company produced was Snow White, in 1937. It was the first animated feature film to come out of the0 U.S. (Disney). Next came Cinderella, in 1950. Then Sleeping Beauty in 1959. Thirty years later in 1989 The Little Mermaid came out. Then in 1991 Beauty and the Beast. The very next year in 1992 Aladdin came to theaters. Then Pocahontas, in 1995. But this was not the last one, more and more princess movies are produced by Disney every few years. Snow White is about a girl who runs away from an evil queen because the queen wants to kill Snow White. When she meets 12 dwarfs she is happy to cook and take care of them.

  • Subcultural Appropriation of Disney Normative Characters in Countercultural Performance Responses Brady Mcdonough, Communicating Arts Dr
    Subcultural Appropriation of Disney Normative Characters in Countercultural Performance Responses Brady McDonough, Communicating Arts Dr. Alison Wielgus, Department of Communicating Arts University of Wisconsin Superior Introduction Walt Disney is remembered fondly as “Uncle Walt” who re-told fairy tales in ways that were less gruesome than their originals and moved audiences to laughter and tears. Disney’s hard upbringing led to his strict personal belief system that reinforced proper behavior and a heterosexual, nuclear family structure. Fantasy was Disney’s favorite escape as a child, and he loved telling stories as an adult so much that he made it a wildly successful business. Starting in 1923 as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, Walt Disney began with animated shorts before eventually moving into feature-length productions. The power to reach audiences comes with the ability to convey a worldview to the public. Disney used his adaptations of fairy tales from authors such as the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Anderson to entertain and teach children and adults what the perfect fantasy world could be. Disney’s versions of classic fairy tales supported a white, heterosexual, Judeo-Christian worldview known as heteronormativity. This heteronormative culture maintains a dominant status in American society called hegemony. Dominant cultures often inspire the formation of subcultures whose members do not fit the hegemonic normative culture. This paper will incorporate the work of Dick Hebdige and Judith Butler to explain subcultural creation and modes of response to hegemony, specifically through drag’s appropriation of characters. Character traits being normalized or vilified is in issue of semiotics, meaning the signs of characters and traits signify one as “good” or “evil” dependent on their performance of certain characteristics.

It is aimed at finding out kinds of conflict faced by the main character and the sources of the main character’s conflict and analyzing the way the main characters solve the conflict. The data of this study were taken from a movie entitled “Maleficent”. This study focuses on describing external and internal conflicts. The conflict is analyzed based on the theory of conflict proposed by Kenney (1966) who divides conflicts into two types, external and internal conflicts. The description of the presentation of the characters is analyzed based on the theory proposed by Deetz & Stevenson (1986) who divides it into two; they are the source of conflict and resolution of conflict. The result of this study shows that the main character faces two conflicts; external and internal conflicts. The sources of the main character are incompatible goals, and different opinions. In managing the conflict, the main character uses avoidance strategy, competition strategy and creative integration. Keywords: Conflict, Internal Conflict, External Conflict, Source of Conflict, Resolution of Conflict Abstrak Penelitian ini berjudul Conflict Analysis in Stromberg’s Movie “Maleficent” oleh Robert Stromberg. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menemukan jenis konflik yang dihadapi oleh pemeran utama dan sumber dari konflik tersebut dan menganlisis bagaimana cara pemeran utama menyelesaikan konflik tersebut.

  • Aging with Disney and the Gendering of Evil
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, February 2015, Vol. 5, No. 2, 114-127 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2015.02.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Aging With Disney and the Gendering of Evil Nada Ramadan Elnahla Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt Walt Disney animated films are considered synonymous with wholesome family entertainment despite the inherent negative messages of gender, age, and power hierarchies behind them. This paper proposes to explore the aspect of age as intersecting with gender through the villainesses in six of Disney’s popular animated films: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Cinderella (1950), Sleeping Beauty (1959), The Little Mermaid (1989), Tangled (2010), and Frozen (2013). How Disney alters the actions of major and minor characters, and the construction of aging female characters and the key characteristics they exhibit during their fight for eternal youth, beauty, and social and political power will be analyzed, attempting to show how Disney is not a harmless substitute for a babysitter for children. Keywords: aging, ageism, feminism, Disney, animated films, villain Introduction In 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy pooled their money to set up a cartoon studio in Hollywood: The Disney Brothers’ Studio. It would take Disney 14 years before the first animated feature-length version of Snow White was released. The film’s phenomenal success at the time (earning eight million dollars on its initial release and winning a full-size Oscar statuette and seven miniature ones) signaled the beginning of a golden age of animation and a rising influence of the Disney movies, brand, and theme parks.

  • MISTRESS of Alllevil
    MISTRESS O f A LL lE VIL A TALE OF THE D A RK FA IRY PROLOGUE The Dark Fairy’s castle was eerily silhouetted against a tempestuous sky by a magnificent spiral of glowing green mist. Suddenly, a brilliant burst of green light shot up from the highest tower, warning every nearby creature that Maleficent was in a ter- rible rage. Her goons shuddered as the castle shook violently with the power of her anger, sending her beloved murder of crows into flight. For nearly sixteen years, her creatures had been searching for the princess Aurora. But it had all been in vain. Now the girl was home in King Stefan’s castle for her sixteenth birthday, ready to take her place at the royal court. 3 M ISTRESS OF A LLlEv I Ll Maleficent paced back and forth in her private chamber. She hadn’t been able to reach the odd sisters by raven or crow. “Why didn’t they listen to me?” she muttered furiously. “They should never have trusted Ursula!” Maleficent needed the sisters now more than ever, and she feared they were lost to her. She went to the enchanted mirror hanging on her wall. The three sisters had given it to her many years before. “Show me Lucinda! Show me Ruby! Show me Martha!” she commanded. The mirror’s surface swirled with a glowing violet light. The Dark Fairy had never quite mastered mirror magic like the odd sisters, and she seldom used their gift. Nevertheless, after a moment, hazy images of the sisters appeared in the glass.
