Christopher Bell: Bring on the Female Superheroes !

TEDxColoradoSprings 
Filmed Oct 2015

Key Points: This Ted Talk addresses how our media saturated society influences how we learn what we know about other people and about the world. The viewpoint is from a father observing his daughter's desire to identify with female superheroes that are virtually nonexistent as merchandise in the toy aisles of our stores. He uses examples from Star Wars, Disney, Marvel, and My Little Pony to cause us to think about a future where boys and girls are equally respected equally valued and equally represented.

Audience: Parents, educators, students, everyone

Relevance: As educators, we need to lead the way in helping our students to make choices apart from our society's media driven public pedagogy.
