Question

• “Looking closely at how weakness and strength are represented in at least two works you have studied, discuss the significance of the relationship between the two.”

Rationale: Portrayal in animation

For my written task, I'm going to address the problem with the representation of certain social groups in American animation. I wanted to make an article becouse i think it's the proper way to write about this issue by making it public, for people to read without certain specific audience except for people who are interested and/or involved.

First I'll explain why this happens and provide examples of animated works where racism and discrimination are present, mentioning the context of production and how the works where received at the time they aired and nowadays ( many of them regarded as classics) . I tried to use a practical tone and vocabulary  to make it easy to read for everyone, with a progressive point of view without being unfairly judgmental, presenting evidence in the form of quotes.

In the conclusion I wanted to give the article a cautionary tone in order to show the problems this issue brings to society and the image they make of America. Also tie it up with what's happening nowadays in the world, where racism,sexism and other kinds of discrimination seem to be used as tools and weapons for people to rise to power. These themes are relevant becouse Tolerance and acceptance are key to our species weel being, dignity and eventual survival. Discrimination and eventual aggression will never lead to the right path, as violence only brings more violence and talking  about entertainment " violent delights have violent ends" (west world) lessons humanity ( and some countries in particular) have yet to learn. In that way I expect to achieve my purpose which is informing about the problem and preventing it to repeat itself by referring to the problems it can create.
