Media Stereotypes , of course we knew that what media mean , but how about stereotypes ??? When the first time i see this words , i was blur about it .... but for now i understand what is it mean ....
What is Stereotype ?A stereotype is a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals. (From Wikipedia)
let say , if i say "carbonated drink company" , what will you think ?? Coca-Cola right ? or another example , middle east and Muslims ......... what will you think ?? terrorist ? of course that most of the people will think about terrorist ...... that is what we called stereotypes .
For Media Stereotypes ...... that is a lot of media stereotypes , for example the case 911 , after that case is pass long time .......... but until now when i see the middle east people , specially who wear like "cover whole body and face" , which is their tradition wear , i still will feel scare they are having a boom , i knew that was stupid !!! but i just cannot stop it ........ Just because the people who plan to do the 911 is from Arabs , it make a stereotype inside ours mind deeply .......... that is totally unfair for them .......
That still have another example which is base on my own experience , i think most of the Teenager know about "Counter strike" and "Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare" right ? These are 2 popular First-person Shooting games ........ in these games ......... both of them describe the middle east country and the people as the terrorist ....... that is another stereotype also , like ours parents or older Relative is very verbiage and tell a lot ...... that is another example , actually they are just caring about us and share their own experience with us , to make sure that we are always on a right path ....
