Hello peep's. :)
Now, it is time to post the third question of the week...
...MEDIA STEREOTYPES...
From what I know about the word 'stereotype' is that.... It is an oversimplified thoughts, image, perspective or point of view... (Umm... is it the same? haha... whatever..) This stereotyped media can make the society receive the sent massage quickly. Stereotypes can appear in the media because of the biases of writers, directors, producers, reporters and editors. This is because the deadlines looms...It is sometimes faster and easier to use a stereotype to characterize a person or situation, than it is to provide a more complex explanation.
These stereotype media can sometimes be dangerous... It can be One of the most dangerous ways in which the use of racial stereotypes. The entertainment industry, especially the film industry, is notorious for presenting their minority characters in a much more violent fashion then the white ones. Harsh language is far more overused in characters of racial minority than of their white counterparts, for example. This impression that people of color are somehow more violent, leads to fear and ignorance that fuels racism in America. Ouch. These are the racist movie that I can think of: Tokyo incident. Although it is not about America, but it is a racism story.
The sources can be from various types of media such as... Magazines, Internet, television and many more.... So, it seemed very very verrryyyyyy impossible to avoid these stereotyped media....I was once influenced too. :D Haha, when I was lil' of courseee.. When I watched a cartoon, their antagonist character will surely be an ugly and fierceful personality as well as their physical looks...And the bad guy seems obviously evil. Something like this:

This guy's name is T100..... A cool machine don't you think?
Lord Zedd, an antagonist from the movie: Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. Hehe, I was once a fan. Haha. He does'nt have any skin left..... He always walk around public like that.... Eeeuuuuu, grossss..
But now, the antagonis I see right now can be deceiving... They sometimes can pretend to be a good guy.... And not always be a 'bad guy'....I guess that they are not predictable anymore... I think...
Stereotypes media can affect the way society views them, and change society's expectations of them. With enough exposure to a stereotype, society may come to view it as a reality rather than a chosen representation.
The media can be a powerful tool in creating or reinforcing stereotypes. An example is the public perception that youth crime is on the rise, or out of control.....
