Stereotypes: Video Analysis

Stereotypes have been around longer than America has. In this century every type of person has a stereotype. Some positive and some negative. The stereotype to highlight pertaining to the video is about the Latinos. Most Latinos are assumed illegal immigrants because a lot of them don’t speak English and if they do it is not very well. Another factor to add in is that a lot of Latinos work landscaping under the table. That is across America, now to talk about the areas around the boarders of America. Every day thousands of Latinos try to cross the border illegally. So the stereotype may have more truth down there but it is still not completely true. The fact is every darker skin colored person will be pulled over near the borders either by the county police or the border patrol.

Yesterday, I was playing Xbox with my friend, Anja. On my left side stood my laptop connected to a small speaker. I put on a song on Spotify, and leant back to look at the TV-screen. We listened to some other songs, until my mother came home and I had to turn it off to ask her something. When I was done talking to her, I sat back in the couch without putting on the music again. After about five minutes, a song howled out of the speaker with no one around the laptop to put it on play. My friend and I looked around like Timon from the Lion King and we were freaked out by the situation. I told Anja about another time something like this happened, when I was home alone in my room to put some make-up on. I put a song on my stereo from my Spotify

What if I were to tell you that you that for the rest of your life, you would be unfairly judged, and possibly even discriminated against, based on false perceptions and ideas gathered from influences that only resemble you in the vaguest of ways, most likely being, skin color? And what if no matter how an individual person chooses to carry oneself, they will still commonly be regarded as a member of said misconceptions? Enter, stereotype: “A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.”(1)

Today's media and the members of society set a standard for physical appearance that people compare themselves to, which oftentimes, these standards are physically unreachable. If people think that they do not look like the picture in the magazines then they feel as though something is wrong with them. If bans were placed on Photoshop and underweight models it would stop the glorification of unhealthy weights, habits, and unrealistic comparisons. When people look at the media, they are usually looking at accounts that Photoshop their models. In these images the models are thin, have zero imperfections, they are in shape, and they perfectly proportionate. People, mostly young adults, looking at these models believe that what they are looking

There are always going to people in the world that are going to think that people of a certain race, religion or sexually orientation well never been the same as themselves even though everyone is human and we are all the same. This visual argument shows seven identical looking skeletons and from left to right is labeled: white, black, gay, straight, Catholic, Atheist and human. Every skeleton looks exactly that same and shows that no matter what someone looks like, who they believe in or who they love, everyone is human. The human body has 206 bones that make it up and they aren’t exactly the same between anybody but they are built and arranged that same way. Although there are very specific details and differences between every skeleton but this photo argues that everyone is equal because skeletons are built the same and uses emotion by showing that the skeletons that everyone has look the same even though what is on the outside may look different.

A barrage of advertisements, photographs, videos, graphs, and graphic compositions meet our eyes every day. Some of these attempt to coax us to buy what is presented through them, while others are just presented to please us. Although, each of these images are presented for different reasons, they all have visual arguments they are trying to make. Most images have a composition that is specifically planned or captured to convey a specific message. Being in a class that teaches how to use images in a manner that conveys a message, and has emphasis on the composition of such images, I found some of the information very familiar. However, information that was new to me, was applying critical thinking to an image. Evaluating claims, breaking down

In many aspects of society, there are often unfair and inaccurate stereotypes on full display of certain people who belong to various demographics. Media, or more specifically TV shows, are no different in this regard. For example, men are painted out to be leaders, unemotional, and sometimes aggressive individuals who should be admired. Women tend to be shown as secretive and manipulative in order to get their way in a men driven society. It is also noteworthy that several homosexual characters are depicted as attempting to hide the fact that they are homosexual, and as feeble minded, even if the person in question is a male. While many times these stereotypes are untrue of the entire demographic being portrayed, people who attract to popular

People’s culture can cause a variety of conflicts when interacting with a different culture. This is illustrated well with a culture that believes that stealing is bad or is wrong, while another culture believes it is okay. The people in the culture that believes that it is wrong to steal may look at the people in the culture that believes that it is okay in a more negative light, saying “ Those people are unruly degenerates that only want to steal”; the people from the culture that believes that it is okay may view the people from the other culture in a negative light, saying that they are “too stuck up, and persecute us”. The sources that will be displayed are as follows: Crash by (name of the director), will be used to demonstrate the creation

The first wave of Chinese immigrates were historically racialized as being the “Yellow Terror” with Chinese women being seen as prostitutes, and men as threats to the white labor force due to the negative propaganda that was distributed about the Chinese (Sasaki, 4/5/16). As a result, Chinese immigrants were classified as “aliens ineligible for citizenship” because the U.S. were worried about what the Chinese would do if they were given rights. They were discriminated against because they were considered as “foreign, other and those who do not belong,” giving others the justification they needed to treat them differently and violently (Sasaki, 4/5/16). In a California Nativist Movement, the white working class openly opposed Chinese laborers

Your television and computer are controlling every choice you make. Scary thought? Everyday Americans log into their computer or turn on their TV and are fed information from our trusted media. In fact, a Marshall survey states, “By 2015, it is estimated that Americans will consume both traditional and digital media for over 1.7 trillion hours, an average of approximately 5 and a half hours per person per day.” Unknowingly at times, we are allowing our media to shape the choices we make, the ways we see others, and the way we view ourselves. With most of Americans unaware of the media's control on their choices and views, this can be an alarming realization. Media has a major impact on multiple parts of our society.

Stereotypes are prevailing and oversimplified ideas of particular groups of people or certain things, and they have been around for a long time. Stereotypes are immensely detrimental to a myriad of people because they abject and discriminate them, as well as cause division and separation amongst certain communities. Breaking stereotypes is important due to the social climate that we are currently in today. Racism and discrimination are ubiquitous because people of colour are painted in a negative light due to the stereotypes they are given.

Scene 5 showed a significant shift in tempo but the mood was still very empathetic. The set became very dark. This helped establish the mood and atmosphere. The atmosphere and very dark and sober. Eve’s voice became very desperate as she had been caught stealing and she was trying to talk to her sister but she would not answer her phone. As the security guard walked in she was defeminized because of her outfit, gestures and stance. Knee length pants and manly top which sat above the elbows, this established dominance for the character. Her voice was very stern towards the end of the scene as Eve became very emotional after finding out the police would be involved. This again created her scene of dominance and defeminized her as the stereotype

The beautiful blonde is riding the guy with extreme ecstasy. While she rides, she attempts to further tease him through his neck. But wait, this is not teasing. This is a deep cut that took the life of that person.

Fictional characters are the man-made beings that shape, mold, and decorate the world, influencing their surroundings and blending into a large crowd of their kind; in the same way, paint can blend into a larger picture without individual hues being noticed. Just as fictional characters appear everywhere, so does paint, and in a variety of colors and personalities. In daily life, most American people are exposed to an excessive amount of fictitious people, animals, and surreal beings, all of which hold their own views and standpoints. Characters are created to relate to and to feel what they feel, but some people are concerned that the audience is taking this to a very high level. Whether the personalities of these characters affect those of
