Development of prejudice in children

When thinking of the development of prejudice in children, one has to think of all of the
cartoons our parents were exposed to, those we were exposed to, and those we may
expose our children to. When we take a look back at many cartoons and movies from the
past (and even now), we can see where there were pervasive representation issues. The
way different characters and cultures were often represented were biased, stereotypic,
and harmful. These were the images and stereotypes that we were shown as children. Do
we want that to continue with our children?
One company that has been trusted and beloved by families for generations is
Disney. However, Disney has made an explicit effort to start to combat this. Not only
have they openly admitted to their past mistakes, but they are also actively working to
correct the impact their media has on future generations.
