What is stereotype ? I think it is a believe or concept that we learn from media like television , radio and newspaper advertisement.
Media is one of the main cause for stereotype. For example, when we watch a movie which contains a chinese character, the first thing that come to our mind is kung fu . This is because chinese people always hold the role of characters that are good and able to fight.We can see that the Americans control stereotype with their media. They can easily influence people especially teenagers. This is why, we can see that the American culture had influenced most part of the world because of their power towards media.
This is why stereotype can easily influence and change someone's view toward something because we spent most of our time watching advertisement, dramas and reality shows. Not everything we watch on television is real. The producers make us believe its real and because we never seen it or experience it before, we will believe it.
For example, when people see blonde hair girls as dumb, slow and easily get cheated. Then, when people see tattoo, they tought the guy or girl is a bad or violent person
There are thousands and thousands of media out there, some are scams, some are real, some are stereotype.
So, dont be easily influence by media.
Seriously.. I dam confuse of the word stereotype.. Although I haven quite figure it out.. I still get what your trying to propose.. I agree with all kind of influences.. We have to be more careful before making a decision.. People are easily tricked, when they see an opportunity.. they don think twice.. So sad to have such dump people..xD hahaaa..
ReplyDeleteYeah i like brush lee a lot..... and sure when u watch a action chinese movie the the thing in my mind is brush lee.... and also dun judge a book by its cover...
ReplyDeleteoh Yeah babeee....
Brush lee, stevan?haha..
ReplyDeletebruce lee is the symbol of chinese kung fu..
and this is a good stereotype in my thought..
I don't agree with Red.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Bruce Lee is the symbol of chinese kung fu, but it is not a good stereotype.
Those chinese teenagers who study at western country, they always get teased by those local that they know kungfu and want to have a fight with them. And lastly, those chinese teenagers get bullied.
those scenes are appeared in movie..
ReplyDeleteThat is a kind of stereotype too.
Not all Chinese are get bullied by West people..
there are friendship too..
I agree with KC. But, when the era of BRUCE LEE, many self defense schools and classes are introduced so that people can learn to defend their self.
ReplyDeleteThose chinese teenager who act like they can fight are stupid. If they want to fight, go learn before they fight . ahhahahaha.
It's appeared in movie...
ReplyDeleteBut it's happened in reality too...
Everything have two sides... haha!!!
yes,some movie are using the thing which really happen in real life,this make people that are so real and like just happen before only
