Media stereotypes

I have seen the documentary posted by our lecturer, and i think it is bad and wrong to judge someone or races. This media stereotypes has a great influence, they can easily affects our mind and change our thoughts. Nowadays, this media stereotypes comes in varieties. Even in cartoons, so, kids can be easily influenced by the media.

Based on my experience and researches, i have encountered many types of this media stereotypes. Not only in documentaries programs, but in movies. They did put some of the stereotypes elements in the movie it self based on the passed. Why are they doing it? to influence us, to change our perceptions, to make us think they are right, thats why. As in CNN, they said that muslim are all terrorists, but for me, they are not and maybe just some of them are bad. But this happens in all races, i mean, there will be bad people in each races. I have seen a lot of radical movies, documentaries, and i have seen a lot of racism going on. And about this stereotypes media, i think they also did put this elements. To make us hates on certain races just because they (the one that runs this stereotypes media) hate it.

This is all depends on us. To believe or not. They are trying to manipulate our thinking. To make us believe in them. There are many things going on nowadays, they all related to this kind of problems. I think, this is all because of media, stereotypes media. Media plays an important role, people can simply believe in what they share. This stereotypes media grows larger everyday, i think its possible someday this media rules our minds. As the conclusion, we are all educated and i think we know the difference between "media" and "stereotypes media".

Yes. the mainstream media actually a stereotype media. They not show the real fact. They just like a puppet, that control by someone, that have his own propaganda.
