Hanes’ article argues the fact that girls are pressured about their body
imagine as early as during their childhood years. Although Disney Princesses
may appear to be animated characters and innocent toys, in reality
they can cause girls to have eating disorders. Hanes mentioned a study by the
University of Central Florida in which 50% of girls from ages 3 to 6 claimed
that they worry that they are fat. This article also focused on the fact that
princesses allude to the idea of wearing dresses and waiting for a prince.
This
source is very reliable as it contains information from professors,
universities, and first hand examples such as the one of Mary Finucane’s
daughter. This article is only two years old thus it is up to date and it
contains interesting evidence about the issue of body imagine in girls. This
source also brings to attention that parents should be concerned by
providing excellent examples which most people would not realize.
This
article will be very useful as it includes research that has already been done
on the relation of girls and Disney Princesses. It has some great evidence that
I will be able to use to support my argument such as Finucane’s daughter’s
behavior.
The second paragraph as to why you think this source is reliable isn't very convincing. I believe if you name the professors that specialize in the topic of your paper, it would help.
