- Media
stereotypes are inevitable, especially in the advertising, entertainment and
news industries, which need as wide an audience as possible to quickly
understand information.
- Stereotypes
act like codes that give audiences a quick, common understanding of a person or
group of people—usually relating to their class, ethnicity or race, gender,
sexual orientation, social role or occupation.
-But stereotypes can be
problematic.
They can:
1.reduce
a wide range of differences in people to simplistic categorizations
2.transform
assumptions about particular groups of people into "realities"
3.be
used to justify the position of those in power
4.perpetuate
social prejudice and inequality
More
often than not, the groups being stereotyped have little to say about how they
are represented.
