- theory - diversity of groups/people are reduced to few limited characteristics
- those with power stereotype less powerful
- stereotypes categorize different groups + place them in hierarchy (most powerful + dominant at top)
- stereotypes of non-white, racial, women, gay, working class = easier to identify then white, male, middle class, heterosexual.
- stereotypes categorize different groups + place them in hierarchy (most powerful + dominant at top)
- stereotyping exaggerates differences - creates conflict
- media reinforces stereotypes by repetitive presentation
- media does not create stereotypes
- some films, like Mean Girls, look at pos + neg effects of stereotypes, but may be seen as reinforcing them
- stereotyping = way to impose order on diversity by oversimplifying traits
- stereotyping quickly conveys info to understand character
- selecting certain values + assumptions helps construct audiences perceptions of world
- identities can be constructed + communicated by stereotypes
