Christensen Quote's

"Children's Cartoons, movies and literature are perhaps the most influential genre "read"" (127)

~ This quote personally I love for the fact of how true it is. Children become influenced by everything in their surrounding environment. This includes like Christensen mentioned cartoons, movies and literature.

"I start by showing the students old cartoons because the stereotypes are so blatant" (129)

~Old cartoons do have a certain way of stereotyping anything that they possibly can from race to gender to class. These are more prominent then than today but old cartoons and shows are still around for our youth to see and absorb from.

"But more importantly, students saw themselves as actors in the world. They were fueled by the opportunity to convince some parents of the long lasting affects cartoons oppose on their children." (137)

~ Cartoons weather we try or not do have a lasting impact on our youth. The more diverse and accpting options a child is exposed to the more accepting they will be further along the road. However, when a child isn't exposed to that then when they say they want to grow up just like thier favorite character they are less likely to understand the other side of things.
