In the clip of the Little Mermaid we watched today there were a lot of things Ursula said that was annoying and demeaning towards women in relationships. But one of the most untrue things I thought she said was the Ariel’s requirement to get a kiss of true love within three days of meeting Erik. You can’t fall in love with someone in three days, even if you spend the full 72 hours with them. You can be very attracted to them and obsessed and maybe trust them but that definitely is not enough to get past the surface of love and truly knowing. So the fact that Ursula even said it possible to fall in love with in three days was untrue. That could make kids think falsely of what love really is. And like I said in class some kids associate being in love and having sex so things like this could subconsciously contribute to the decreasing age of kids having sex. But I still love the Little Mermaid.
