Unfortunately, the credibility of Henry A Giroux work can be questioned as he is widely known as a American cultural critic. Therefore he is overtly negative about his view towards America and American institutions. It has been argued that Disney has such a great influence over people as it shapes their mind from a young age and that the power is so great that they have emerged to become part of American culture. The preppy overtly happy clean innocent images being projected are supposed to represent American culture and foreign audiences believe this a true portrayal of Americanism. However, this is not the case but it teaches audience America is a promise land (American dream), Giroux is attacking this distort of reality.
Giroux has published more than 35 books and 300 academic articles, and is published widely throughout education and cultural studies literature. Thus, Giroux negative theory is due to his public anti- American culture beliefs.
