The very first important step one should do in writing this research paper is to not procrastinate. The time it takes to research is very consuming, especially if there are not many resources on your specific topic. For sexual subliminal messages in Disney, I had to research on the whole subject of subliminal messages and its effects rather than the messages in Disney. Not to mention, I wanted to talk about how it would affect children and if these messages would make them more promiscuous. Therefore, I tried looking for books, articles, and what not on the sexualization of children. I tried to analyze all my information in order to come up with an analysis from my own interpretive. It's a bit difficult to write about a topic whereas there is no answer, but using words such as: perhaps, maybe, or possibly, gives your paper a creative and innovative answer from your own perspective. Moreover, I want to know the real reason to why Disney puts subliminal messages in their movies, but there really is no answer given in resources because Disney always denies that they had inputted these provocative images and words.
My topic/research paper was: Behind the Scenes of Disney. The type of questions that came to my mind was: "what are they really showing to children?" "how does this affect them?" "does this relate to current generations of why young children and teenagers are becoming more promiscuous?"
