Media streotypes, we may not know what is the media stereotypes because these things only happen with the blink of an eye. Media stereotypes can not be prevented, especially in the advertising, entertainment and news industries, which need as wide an audience as possible to quickly understand information. From one of the documentary, titled "Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People", it shows that there are elements of people who can make a racism.
In the documentary, many Hollywood movies that show Arab is bad and the action is played by the Arabs are violent. From there, I investigate whether this is true and it proved this statement correct. Media stereotypes, many occurring in magazines, TV, movies, games and other media outlets.
From
my research, this is an example of media stereotypes. A good example of cartoons depicting Arabs in a negative manner is Walt Disney's animated feature film, Aladdin (The Walt Disney Company, 1993). This story shows the negative nature of the Arabs. Among the characters the Sultan, for instance, did not look like he was from an Arab country, pug the antagonist, Jafer. Jafer the only Arab character with exaggerated features, was displayed as the epitome of evil throughout the film. This depiction of The evil, Inspiring Jafer, is an example of the Western view toward the Arab people.
For me, not all types of media stereotypes are negative. Perhaps there is some media do not support this media stereotype as example above.

Exactly! You know, there's an edit on the opening sequence of Aladdin. Suppose to be "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face" to describe how the Arab state of justice at that time. They had to change it after numerous remarks saying it was an offence to the Arabs.
But is it true? or just a description?
