Stereotypes are ideas about people of other particular groups, based primarily on membership in that group. Stereotypes have existed in our everyday life through media. I give an example. Did you guy believe Superman really can fly? In the movie, Superman is a handsome, brave and muscular guy. But if the superman is thin and not handsome, did you guy still can imagine that he is a superman? Superman is really the man of steel? And wears red underwear outside walking shamelessly in front of the public, is it the true superman really exist that way, in such a manner? Because media stereotypes is affect us since our childhood days and enclose our really superman creativity and imaginative. Stereotypes shows that superman have to be this way and that way. Why can’t we think that Superman , he might be strong but he is just an ordinary human and have weakness like humans do, and not some stone spell.
This is because this character is already stereotypes in our mind. A lot of teenagers or children after watched this movie, they will copy and follow those dangerous action in the movie which is wear a cloth and strapped to his neck, wear his/her red and smoothly underwear and act like superman try to fly from highest place moreover will do a lot of stupid act to show off.
I give another example. we judge in the movie, know that Kungfu people is what kind of person like,is wearing a robe, face look like justice and they are very agile and active in the movie, then most of the people would judge that the artist is playing a Kungfu pole, although they did not pull any moves or any Kungfu action. Why we will make this such judgments? This is because in our daily lives, we often see person who practice martial arts are all wearing robes, full of gas, agile. So we already stereotype that know Kungfu people is that way, even if we have not seen any Kungfu movie, when we see those movie is about Kungfu then we will determine that they are known Kungfu, because we already stereotype in everyday life, they are the people know Kungfu.
Stereotypes got positive and negative .Just depend how people feel and understand the meaning of the media.
I agree with that. During some Kungfu fighting or fighting movie, there must be a Bruce Lee posing action either it is show in the bad guys or the good guy.Is this action necessary just to represent in every single kungfu movie? This is because the media had often used ,and misrepresents this action of this stereotypes into martial arts ‘signboard'
