What is media stereotype?

The needs a huge group of audience to understand the information quickly through advertising, entertainment, and news that can’t be avoid. Making a group of people understand on others by relating their class, races, gender and, occupation. The bad is, it can make people not open minded, try to wake up and show people what reality is and be used to justify people by their position in power.

From personal experience

That's So Raven

Other media stereotype that I’ve seen is drama series at Disney channel called That’s So Raven. In the drama series, they try to convince the audience that English people are stupid and also similar to another drama series named Cory in The House.

Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it?

Critical Reflection on Social Media

Some web site in the internet makes me hard to believe because the information in that site could be taken from other site and rewrite it for own personal benefit and makes the reader thinks twice. Others, like this picture below, the reader who is a boy ,20 years old and above, that surf the internet where he didn't know that the web being publish by a small child about an age of 12 to 14 years old and so. But the his father didn't believe it at all just because the information come from the internet. Still, the boy trust the information because of the title of the site.

Media Culture Tutorial class had been done through online and makes the student felt happy because there a lot of time to spend on that day. So, the student should do the tutorial early or where there is nothing to do. For those who wanted to do the tutorial in the last minute, they could be forgotten about it because they busy doing other subject such as design fundamental in the last minute or maybe busy playing online game.
