In Rapunzel there are many messages, the first message is hidden in the beginning of the story where the “woman” wants some rampion. She tells her husband if she does not get any she will die. He steals some, and stealing is never good, and gives it to

In Hansel and Gretel there are a couple hidden messages. The part in the story where it is talking about how they do not have enough food to support their children. Do not have kids if you cannot afford them. The children were also lost and were very smart about how they got home and how they escaped the witch!
Are They Dangerous?/ Should Parents Be Concerned? These messages aren’t per say dangerous but they are very influencing and parents should definitely be concerned. These messages are not only telling kids secretly do things that their parents would not like. In many Disney movies there are a lot of hidden messages and they spell things out like “sex” or tell kids to do “slutty or not socially accepted” things.

How Might this Impact A Child’s Life Or Outlook On The World? These shows might change the way a child thinks because the shows on TV have very strong points of views. Shows are something you cant argue with and you cant talk about it with so you just have to sit there and watch the show and soak up the messages they present to you.
Ancient Vs. Modern Media Ancient Fairytales have deeper messages and you need to look harder to see them where as the Modern Media has more open messages and they are able to be seen very easily. Modern Media has messages that tell kids that doing certain things that are not good are okay. Ancient Fairytales have messages that are good and bad. These messages tell kids to not do things that are not good most of the time.
