Merida, the role model.

Out of all the princesses in Disney, I believe that Merida, the princess in the new Disney movie, Brave, is the most positive role model for all girls. There are many reasons for this. She does not act like a male needs to lead her life. She also is more adventurous and brave. she does not want someone else to lead her life. Merida is much more active and has more trust in herself. She wants to be free.

First,she does not rely on men. All the other princesses rely on their prince or some kind of man. However, Merida does not. If you observe carefully, you can see she does not rely on men to find her fate. The other princesses teach girls that they need a man to live. They teach man will only control woman. This is gender discrimination. It is not good to learn. Merida gives a positive side on women, girls. She shows that women do not need men.

Most of the princesses in Disney teach that girls can not be adventurous. However, Merida is very active in her free time She goes to a forest to explore or she shoots arrows. Merida shows that women are not made for cleaning. They can do anything. Other princesses give the negative thought that girls should stay at home and either clean or cook. This is not true and Merida shows that women have no difference between men. All gender is equal.

In Cinderrella, she always listens to her mother even when she tells her to do chores all day. Of course, listening well is not a bad thing but if someone has an opinion they should be able to state it. but Merida is a very brave and strong princess and she rebels her parents. so she can teach the young girls to state their own opinion if they feel like it, everyone should state their opinions. Also, the girls do not have to be controlled by their parents.

So Merida is a much better role model for the girls. Even though she might not have the beautiful look, she does have the bravery girls can learn from. Thank you for reading.
