We can say that there is an a kind of trend of violence in society. And this cruelty promote children's films. In most of them, as children and adults, there is a world of ever-warring men. While women's destiny - to sit on the sidelines and wait for the hour to award the medal hero and build his eyes as a thank you for saving the universe.
And then we wonder where it came from so many sexual aggressors and blame around a television and other entertainment?! In his speech on TEDxBeaconStreet Colin Stokes raises the issue of increased violence in children's films. Also, he talks about the test, which helps to identify the violence in modern films.
By profession Colin Stokes - Brand Manager and PR Director for the organization "Civil Schools» (Citizen Schools), which makes it possible for children from low-income families get a good education. Stokes believes that more movies positive ideas for boysNot only about respect for women, but also about how it is important to work in a team, become a better person and help others do the same. And not, as in modern movies: a man-hero defeats the villain force, and as a prize gets a woman, the one who does not speak, and that does not have any friends.
More Stokes tells a very interesting test Behdelya for movies. The test is very simple and contains just three questions:
- Is there anything in the film more than one female character, which have a replica?
- Do these women talk to each other at least once during the movie?
- Say whether they are of anything, except for a man who they both like?
This test will fail even Oscar-winning Hollywood movies. After him the whole modern film industry look with different eyes.
