  • marginalize people,training them as 'the other'
  • categorize people into groups whose members share similar characteristics
characteristics of stereotypes


  • stereotypes inflexible or rigid, this not easily corrected
  • they are simplistic
  • can be concious or unconcious
Hegemony
Media industries operate within a structure that produces and reinforces the dominant ideology via a consensua l'world view'...
This world view is produced predominantly by white middle aged heterosexual men.
it is their ideas and values that infiltrate media texts and ensure that other voices do not get heard.


propaganda
is a for of communication aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some case or position.
