    I think the audience for the videos and cartoons could be for both outsiders and Italians. It would be as an eye opener to the outsiders on some of the struggles Italians faced both in Italy and in America. It would also let the Italian Americans know that people recognize their problems and that change isn't too far away

    I think these cartoons and videos are created for the people they reference (i.e. Italian Americans) They contain so much of a personal touch to the Italian American experience and I think the creators design them to connect to people of their own tribe. It's similar to African American literature and films that address the slavery experience in both raw and fictional ways. I believe they're designed for everyone's viewing to expand knowledge but mostly to give insight and connect to the tribe it's reflecting on.
