Week 12 Discussion
Most fairy tales use moral, social, or political teachings through an engaging storyline and charming cast of characters. How fairy tales might benefit kids will be the topic of my research essay.It’s a personal experience that’s why I chose this subject.I loved fairy tales as a child, and stories like Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood remained with me because of the lessons they taught.Many moral lessons can be learned from well-known fairy tales, such to always be kind and positive in order to be blessed, and to never trust strangers.Children’s imaginative play, critical thinking, and character development can all benefit from fairy tales.
For my research essay, the topic that I have chosen to study regarding fairy tales is the impact on childhood development and the message that is portrayed through many different common fairy tales. Why i believe this to be the most interesting topic and the aspect I choose to explore for fairy tales is because many of us, no matter where we were born, our ethnic background, religion, etc, has been exposed to some type of fairy tales in our lives. Many different countries and cultures may have their own fairy tales or different variations of widely spoken fairy tales, but we all have heard these tales being spoken to us, especially as children. They are stories that have been passed down and told for generations to millions of children, however it’s important to look at why these stories are told to children, and what do these children who are told these fairy tales learn from them and what it is about fairy tales specifically that lead to furthering the development of young children.
My research essay focuses on how female characters in fairy tales have changed over time. I picked this topic because I’m curious about how these characters evolved from older versions where they often waited to be rescued to newer versions where they are more independent and strong. I’ve gathered different versions of fairy tales like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White from various cultures and time periods. I’m comparing these versions to see how the female characters differ, looking at their actions, personalities, and how they interact with others. I’ve also read articles and analyses about these fairy tales. They discuss things like how society’s views on women have changed over time and how these tales reflect those changes. I’m using these studies to understand the historical and cultural contexts that influenced the evolution of these characters.
My topic for the research essay was feminism and fairy tales. I chose to examine Snow-White and her step mothers relationship because I felt like I could relate to it, it’d be easier to put emotions into words if I related to them. I also feel like fairy tales are all about how women are saved, their beauty and its the same story told all over again. As a kid I always wanted to be a princess but as an adult I begin to question why women are always portrayed in such misogynistic ways. I have read multiple articles, books and re-read fairy tales because each are told differently. Each version of these fairy tales are told differently but have the same story.
In this essay, the author discusses the fairy tale “Snow White” by Bruno Bettelheim and another popular movie adaptation. They argue that not all fairy tales should be read by children due to their negative impact and restrictions on reading. The author will use primary and secondary sources to explore the familiar aspect of fairytales, including characters, setting, and plot. They appreciate the lessons that fairytales can offer and enjoy learning about them. One of the fairytales they learned more about is “Snow White,” which has multiple meanings that the author was unaware of. The author and their niece enjoyed watching “Snow White” as a child. They believe that reading or watching fairy tales is a great way to spend time together, and no matter the age, anyone can connect over a variety of adventure stories. The author has conducted research using primary and secondary sources to examine child development in fairytales.

Most people argue that fairy tale are problematic and not good for children. However, I believe that people see what they want to see and it all depends on perspectives. Personally for me, cinderella was a kind soul and a hardworking character and all she wanted was to go to the ball. She never went there in the hopes that she will talk to the prince let alone marrying him. The topic for my Research essay is “Fairy Tales are Myths.” I decided to write on this topic because I feel like there are various kinds of fairy tales, not just about princesses waiting for their prince charming. I believe that we should be open different fairy tale genre and their moral vales. I would also love to add some points on childhood development. How a child is being affected mentally, physically and socially. Honestly, ever since I was little I have never read a fairy tale book but before writing this discussion I’ve for the first time watched the cinderella movie, read about little red riding hood and read some reddit post on fairy tales.
In my research essay, I will be talking how fairy tale movies and books, are good and bad for children. also, the impacts of fairy tales in teenagers and adults in a negative and positive way. I chose this topic because as I grow up with fairy tales movies and books it has made an impact on how I see the world. maybe the fairy tales movies and books are some factors of why sometimes I am very naïve and sometimes wise.

I will try to do it with more secondary sources than primary sources because secondary sources have commentary of others
A fairy tale that everyone has read at least once in their life. Fairy tales have various effects on the people who read them. For example, it improves literacy skills, empathy, imagination, and inference skills. In this essay, I decided to explore the influence of Snow White and Cinderella on people’s psychology. From the perspective of young children to young adults, the moral lessons gleaned from fairy tales are told over and over again, solidifying them into absolute truths, so the world in general sees fairy tales as something that can only be trusted. It is no exaggeration to say that childhood and adolescence are the ideal times for psychological growth and the acquisition of a wealth of knowledge. However, not all fairy tales have a positive impact. These two fairy tales can also be said to be their moral teachers. However, this can also be psychologically negative, as it can give false hope for the future. I would like to research this using various articles and information sources.

For the research essay I decided to use as topic: Fairy tales and children’s development. For this essay I chose “Snow White” as my fairy tale because I want to discuss about the Disney Walt Snow White version, which is the regular movie that some of us grew up watching and Bruno Bettelheim’s version which discusses about how fairy tales can relate to children psychological development. Both versions have their own unique style and I’m interested because I want to explore them deeply and have better understanding. In my research, I will be using a primary source which will be focused as evidence of the Walt Disney version, and a secondary source which will be used in the Bruno Bettelheim analysis. I found some articles and Journals that I will be used as my sources.
The topic for my research essay on fairy tales is: What morals/values do fairytales seek to instill into children? And are these morals/values still relevant today? I will create a thesis statement based on the information I get from my research. I chose this subject because I feel like classical fairy tales such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast, get a lot of criticism for not being progressive enough when in reality these stories still have important values and morals that children can learn from. My essay will be based on the story of Cinderella. It is a story very near and dear to my heart. I can see myself really enjoying writing an essay about this fairy tale. For my research I have read an early rendition of Cinderella. As well as the screenplay to Disney’s Cinderella from 1950. I decided to use two primary sources since most people are familiar with the films associated with fairy tales, having two primary sources will allow me to answer my research questions with more relevancy.
