How do television,
film, and video portray the ordinary things we accept in our daily world? Well
first of all, television and film are filled with stereotypes. So many movies
and shows have the pretty popular cheerleader, who is super stupid. There’s
usually the cute jock that all the girls want, then the unpopular and nerdy
kids who no one takes a second look at.
Although shows and
movies portray these stereotypes, not everything always ends up the way you’d
expect. Take “A Cinderella Story” for example, the popular boy is actually a
sweetheart, and falls for the nerdy girl. The stereotypes happen in life and we
do accept them, because that’s life, but the outcome can come out different,
and many television and film are showing that there’s more to a person than
their stereotype.
Another way
television and film can stereotype people is with families. Lots of shows have
a house with the kids, mom, and dad. But then there are shows like “Modern
Family” that display many different types of families in a comical way. You
have the same sex marriage, a divorced family, and just an average family. Have
you ever seen the movie “Yours, Mine, and Ours”? That portrays blended
families.
I agree that there are
lots of stereotypes in television and film, but there are also lots of shows
and movies that aren’t stereotypical.
I like how you put both types of the sterotypical kind of movies! and not just one
