My research paper focuses on how the 1989 film, The Little Mermaid specifically contributes to the commodification by marginalizing and sexualizing women that has notoriously created Disney into one of the most globally recognized companies in the world. In this paper I analyze direct ways in which Disney perpetuates misogyny and sexism, while manipulating its young viewers’ by subliminally encouraging them to believe that chivalry and patriarchy is ‘normal’ in modern society and ultimately ideal for the weak and submissive women. This holds Disney accountable for the ways in which it exploits its young and naïve audience, simply because these ideas are vital in sustaining women’s’ social maltreatment and demonization. However, unlike The Little…show more content… This creates the biggest challenge while researching and writing this paper as presenting strictly scholastic and objective arguments to avoid bias.

This is without recognizing that critical writings must welcome and consider critics’ critical evaluations, as critical thinkers are constantly asking questions and never assume something is right without furthering their own research to create their own
