Fairy tale discrimination and children

This research paper is not as terrible as it seems. When you have a topic question that you are interested in, the paper is just like any other essay, only using outside sources. An important thing you need to do before starting is make sure you understand EXACTLY what you are trying to find out. The topic I researched was on the child's mind against the discrimination in fairytales. This is an interesting topic if you are a psychology, sociology, or child and family studies major. Waiting to do your research is not a good idea because the research is not as simple as it looks. You have to do a few days of researching to get the best information possible. If you like to work with others, collaborating might not be a bad idea. I feel i would have worked slightly harder if i would have collaborated. Plus you only have to do half of the work. You'll probably have a very successful if you do so. My research question was  "How is the discrimination in Disney affecting children?" Articles from the library databases were the most helpful, so i would recommend searching there. JSTOR is a great place to start. Here are two of the articles i used:
-"The Many Manipulations of Morty Mouse"
-"The Ethics of Subliminal Communications"

Be sure to search for child experiments to prove your point also. The best advice I can give is to stay on topic. Hope this helped. Good Luck.
