 REMEMBER!

Factors that influence viewers.

• Stereotypes – this is the belief that all people
within the same racial, ethnic, or cultural
group will act alike and share the same beliefs
and attitudes. Stereotypes ignore individual
identity. This is a type of discrimination. An
exaggerated belief that can be positive or
negative but generalizes without allowing for
differences.
 REMEMBER!

Common Examples of Stereotypes:

• Racial Profiling
One of the more common stereotype
examples is stereotypes surrounding race. For
example, saying that all Blacks are good at
sports is a stereotype, because it’s grouping
the race together to indicate that everyone of
that race is a good athlete.
 REMEMBER!

• Gender Profiling
There are also some common stereotypes of
men and women, such as:
• Men are strong and do all the work.
• Men are the "backbone."
• Women aren't as smart as a man.
• Women can’t do as good of a job as a man.
• Guys are messy and unclean.
• Men who spend too much time on the computer or
read are geeks.
 REMEMBER!

• Cultures
Stereotypes also exist about cultures an
countries as a whole. Stereotype examples of
this sort include the premises that:
• All white Americans are obese, lazy, and dim-witted.
Homer Simpson of the TV series The Simpsons is the
personification of this stereotype.
• Mexican stereotypes suggest that all Mexicans are lazy
and came into America illegally.
 REMEMBER!

• All people who live in England have bad teeth.

• Italian or French people are the best lovers.
• All Blacks outside of the United States are poor.
• All Jews are greedy.
• All Asians are good at math. All Asians like to eat rice
and drive slow.
 REMEMBER!

• Groups of Individuals
A different type of stereotype also involves
grouping of individuals. Skaters, Goths,
Gangsters, and Preps are a few examples.
Most of this stereotyping is taking place in
schools. For example:
• Goths wear black clothes, black makeup, are
depressed and hated by society.
 REMEMBER!

• Punks wear mohawks, spikes, chains, are a menace

to society and are always getting in trouble.
• All politicians are philanders and think only of
personal gain and benefit.
• Girls are only concerned about physical appearance.
• All blonds are unintelligent.
• Only anorexic women can become models.
• The elderly have health issues and behave like
children.
 REMEMBER!

• Sexual Stereotypes
Sexual stereotypes, on the other hand,
suggest that any feminine man is gay and any
masculine woman is a lesbian. Those who
believe gay stereotypes may also believe that
homosexuality is immoral, wrong and an
abomination.
 REMEMBER!

2. Propaganda -information, especially of a biased or

misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a
particular political cause or point of view.

Common Examples of Propaganda

Overstating participation - The concept of "Get on
the Bandwagon" is appealing to a huge number of
people by finding common threads, like religion,
race, or vocation. The theme here is "everyone else is
doing it, and so should you."
 REMEMBER!

• Building false images - Presidents try to appear to be

“common folks” but they really aren’t. Examples are
Bill Clinton eating at McDonald’s or Ronald Reagan
chopping wood.
• Creating a false dilemma - An example of false
dilemma is where two choices are offered as if they
are the only two options. For example, a president
saying in order to reduce the deficit, we have to
either tax the wealthy more or ask seniors to pay
more for Medicare.
 REMEMBER!

• Misquoting - By taking a quote out of context a

false impression can be given to the reader or
listener. For the film Live Free or Die Hard, Jack
Mathews was quoted as saying,
“Hysterically...entertaining.". The real quote is,
"The action in this fast-paced, hysterically
overproduced and surprisingly entertaining film
is as realistic as a Road Runner cartoon."
 REMEMBER!

3. Point of View – it is the angle of considering

things, which shows us the opinion, or feelings
of the individuals involved in a situation.
Common Examples of Point of View
• First person singular: “I had the craziest night last night! I’ll
tell you all about it.”
• First person plural: “New York was great. We went to the
Statue of Liberty, we walked around Central Park, and we ate
fantastic food. It’s our favorite city.”
• Third person: “My grandfather was a pilot in the war, and one
time he survived a terrible crash.”
