A form of control

To be completely honest at the beginning of the course I kept thinking to myself that we are what we are perceived. The stereotypes that are associated with each one of us are of our own making. Having this said, my perception has changed. Stereotypes appear from historical context and the head of the media are in control. It sounds very skeptical but I now see the truth in this. We are not part of the making and continuation of them but we are responsible in agreeing with them. As members of society and through independent media we are responsible in changing these misrepresentations in mass media. Because what do these mass media producers actually know about the people they represent, marginalize and stereotype? Not much. They are privileged and do this for control.
