Transcripts
at an early age I've had a rather unique
perspective on movies and watched them
more critically apart from my peers
never understanding the Whimsical appeal
to our childhood Classics I found myself
viewing them through a different lens
so much so that by the age of 16 I
became an entertainment reporter and
film journalist and it was then that I
delve deeper into these seemingly
innocent movies that I uncovered a
rather chilling truth our childhood
films are
horrifying think about it Tales of
attempted murder and the relationship
between a 14-year-old girl and and a
31-year-old
man Snow White and the Seven
Dwarves a child left home alone fighting
off murderous
criminals home
alone or a brother murdering his brother
and then attempting to murder his
nephew The Lion
King while these movies are great we
can't help but know notice how they
affect our real world context as you can
see murder is a common theme with this
said there is one particular movie I
have been studying analyzing and
researching for the past five years the
1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory for those of you who are
fortunately unfamiliar with this film
willly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
follows a handy making man named wiie
Wonka whom no one has seen in years who
owns a factory that no one has been to
in years when all of a sudden out of
nowhere he releases five golden tickets
into the world summoning children to his
Factory which no one has been to in
years to meet a man no one has seen in
years then the five children enter and
only one come comes
out
alive however a horror movie in itself
is not as scary as seeing those five
words solemnly glaze the
screen based on a true story sh Verma an
entertainment journalist explains that
knowing that someone actually went
through that Terror in reality makes the
movie more horrifying in nature and well
while Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory may not be based on a true story
its entire Essence is more legitimate
than you may think you see just like
Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory our
own world is no stranger to Willy Wonka
in his tactics used to lure children
into the holds of a company or product
this is known as child based marketing
and this brings me to my topic
corporations are seeing ample opportun
to take advantage of the overwhelming
fact that children are vulnerable so
that is why first our journey will begin
with taking a closer look at willly
Wonka and his corporate friends then we
will start the search for a golden
ticket to explore the Insidious
strategies corporations use to Target
children until finally seeing what
possible initiatives we could take to
solve such a classified issue before the
factory doors clo behind us
forever while researching I found one
number particularly hilarious
corporations are projected to spend over
21.1 billion do advertising to an
audience that doesn't have any
money as silly as it may sound this is a
business strategy known as childhood
commercial personalism you see to
understand child-based marketing is to
Simply ask why corporations Target
children in the first place simple
really there are two main factors number
one kids influence their parents buying
and most importantly number two kids are
likely to keep wanting to use a product
if we genuinely enjoy it this is known
as brand
identification so taking candy from a
baby is is not as easy as we ought to
think where the metaphorical candy
becomes a shoe brand a favorite soda a
particular phone brand or even a
political party marketing research has
suggested that brand identification is
essential early because it's more potent
later on let us not forget that children
are the future consumers the very
lifeblood of Corporations or as Mike
Cales former president of kids R Us
explains if you own this child at an
early age you can own this child for
years to
come in addition child-based marketing
is not just about selling products but
mindsets as well upon speaking with Dr
Alex molar the nation's leading expert
on corporate involvement in education he
explains that commercialism has become
the curriculum of our culture
corporations cognizant of the
malleability of young minds recognize
that these impressionable individuals
hold the key to a future where loyalty
preferences and ideologies are molded
this recognition transforms classrooms
and libraries into Arenas of subtle
Warfare a war fought not with weapons
but with
narratives for example if I were to
describe an educ ational digital
resource led by a Cheesy scientist who
wears a lab coat with a bow tie some
students will say Bill and I the Science
Guy While others La time with
Leo with so many similarities between
these two there's one difference that
stands out Above All Else their message
while Bill teaches us that global
warming and climate change are crucial
to understand Leo teaches us that oil
coal and petroleum help us with our
everyday needs this difference of
message is linked to one vital
thing who's pulling the
strings Bill n the Science Guy is owned
by the Walt Disney television
Corporation while lab time with Leo is
owned by Oklahoma oil and
gas among these two enthusiastic
Educators is a plethora of other
examples known as school house
commercialism we often find ourselves
embroiled in political debates regarding
the content of our education often
overlooking the underlying factors that
contribute to this division in the first
place it's imperative that we address
these C these root causes to foster a
more unified and constructive
educational
environment and now that I'm thinking
about it Willie Wonka sent Wonka Bars
all over over the world to over 195
different countries across seven
different continents and the only five
kids who happened to receive a Golden
Ticket were white and spoke
English pure coincidence I think
not in retrospect real world
corporations like to send minority
children golden tickets more than their
white peers according to the rut Center
for food policy and obesity black
children and teenagers are shown
75% more advertisements from fast food
corporations on networks with the higher
black audience endorsing obesity
diabetes and high blood pressure at an
early age increasingly schools located
in heavily minority populated areas are
seeing more advertisements within their
schools
also as I conclude I will share a quote
Willy Wonka exchanges with Charlie
the last child remaining at the very end
of the film
quote I can't go on forever and I don't
really want to try so who can I trust to
run the factory when I leave and take
care of the Oompa lumus for me not a
grown-up a grown-up would want to do
everything his own way not mine so that
is why I decided a long time ago that I
had to find a child a very honest loving
child to whom I could tell all my most
precious Candy Making Secrets end
quote in the enchanting tale of willly
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory we
discover a profound Revelation that
perhaps it's not just about trust
perhaps deep down it's also about
fear fear of what a child like Charlie
Bucket could become a child with the
potential to challenge the status quo to
question established norms and to
disrupt the very fabric of the corporate
world and Society
itself willing Walker saw this potential
in Charlie and corporations see it in
the children they target the future
awaits and it's the responsibility of
all of us parents Educators policy
makers and Advocates to ensure that the
sweet innocence and Pure Imagination of
childhood is not tainted by corporate
agendas for just as Willy Wonka sought a
child to inherit his legacy we too must
protect and empower the Future Leaders
of our world because the fact that we
are the future criminal justice lawyers
climate change activists and teachers
make us Willie Wonka's worst
nightmare
