Its a hard say really....
But for most children imagination plays a very large part in thier lives. Problem is with Barbie and disney is that thier MILKING A GOLDEN COW with imaginations and not just with princesses. Its very easy to manipulate a child with their imagination and in the end all the businesses are just here for profit.

Sad thing these companies have changed the main stream thought of the lives of princesses and cowboys for example.

Princesses: the Disney/barbie mainstream thought:
Beautiful naturally , destinied to find the prince of her dreams for no apparent reason whatsoever

Princesses in reality in the medieval times:
They were pampered like the mainstream thought allowed but 9 times out of 10 their marriages were forced for political reason. If you were a princess, have fun being in a FORCED MARRIAGE with some random guy you've never met before 20 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU just so the guy's father doesn't invade your homecountry and kill everyone.....

Cowboys: Mainstream thought
Bad@$$ western americans who follow thier own rules and constantly get into gun fights and battles with the native americans. Always gets the girl

Cowboys: reality
You just basically moved cattle from point A to point B to sell the meat most of your life. Technically your almost like a sheperd. The Profession really did not last very long once railroads were established. If you wanted to court a lady your profession was just plain PUTRID hygenically even by standards in that time.


And as for the lack of Great jobs for barbies, their REALLY inspiring girls to be lazy arrogant women when they grow up.... Today, people who act like princesses are loathed (I.e Paris Hilton) But disney and barbie aren't really help stop that...
