Subliminal Messages Last semester, I took a Psychology class and we talked about subliminal messages found within music, movies, and advertisement. So for a while, I spent a great deal of time looking up banned cartoons that were knocked off air due to the content of the show. In Popeye, during a time when WWII was going on, the stereotypical image of Japanese soldiers were portrayed in this banned cartoon featuring Bluto and Popeye. “I am in the army now” is what is called. Disney also features a few clips that relates to the Sigmund Freud’s idea of sexuality. Children may not seem to notice the hidden messages found inside of all of the shows they may watch, but is evidently visible especially when you begin to pay closer attention. If only you could see how marketers strike the youth, you may begin to wonder if the decisions your own children make is in fact their own or the works of all those changing or shaping the minds of your children.
