HW: Review for mid-term
People who do certain things who make a impact on people who have no knowledge of those type of people
ReplyDeleteWe think the shows promote stereotypes, and they are dangerous because they make all those people look bad
Prejudice: noun, a unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason
ReplyDeleteStereotype: noun, a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing
Generalization: noun, to infer (a general principle, trend, etc.) from particular facts, statistics, or the like.
Stereotypes come from outsiders who aren't familiar with a different persons living style. They judge everyone based on one situation or media depiction.
We think that reality TV shows do promote stereotypes. They may start out harmless, but can become dangerous, based on what information the stereotype consists of.

ReplyDeletePrejudice: A perceived oppinion not based on reason of actual experience.
Stereotype: A standardized conception or image about a certain group or place.
Generalizations: A general statement or concept obtained by inference from specific cases
Where do stereotypes come from? People making a generalization about people of other cultures and places that are usually not true.
Discuss Article: Yes, these shows promote stereotypes because what they do and say are not necessarily true to what people are that like in those places. We think this is just harmless entertainment because it doesn't seem like they mean to be dangerous.

ReplyDeletePrejudice: a predetermined opinion without knowledge or reason.
Stereotype: an image placed on a group of people based on traits about them.
Generalizations: a general statement
Where do stereotypes come from? TV shows, books, music, and people.
We think that stereotypes do not come from the TV show itself, but the audiences creates one based on what they are seeing. The shows are a group of people that are set in a place and told act a specific way but they aren't saying that everyone is like that who lives there is like that.
