Media Stereotypes

Since all of my friends had explained what is the meaning of stereotypes. So i will just straight to the point and talk about some examples of media stereotypes.

1. In American movie, chinese people will never have big eyes and can't pronounce english properly. There are a lot movies that showed this example. Look around the chinese people, is their eyes really that small? For the pronunciation, chinese people nowadays can speak proper english too.

2. Pretty girls are dumb. A lot of pretty girls in the movie will show stupid action and mostly have low education level. This is not true. There are lots of pretty girls out there who is lawyer, doctor, engineer or any professional workers.

3. Now, let's have a look at anime. The main actor of the anime is sure the most unexperienced one. Despite don't know anything, but they are 100% talented. The main actor learn things fast and can be very lucky. In the end, the main actor save the world.

4. Muscular man are gay. This is another stereotype that cause by media. When you think of muscular man, then 1 word will cross over your mind - gay. A person sexual orientation is somehow not related to the appearance. So, when you saw a muscular guy. Don't think that he is gay.

  3. Pink shirt guy are gay...a quite common stereotype. In some anime, the main character is the weakest one, but these anime have less commercial value.
