Example of stereotypical and the differences between it



Can you think of an example of a stereotypical image in media that has caused harm? What about an example where no harm has been caused? What’s the difference between these two examples?
 

An example of a stereotypical image in media that has caused harm that is in the current media view wealth is a barrier for poor families to continue their studies. In addition, the lack of money is also a mouthpiece that the less fortunate will not succeed in the future than those who are more than capable of entering any university within the country or abroad. The financially capable groups are viewed by the media as opposed to the opposite. Even though the less fortunate had been offered to continue their studies to the next level, they had to reject the offer because of the finances. For the well-versed groups will always be highly regarded by the media and even the society. As the overweight media cause those who cannot afford to be isolated and ignored to continue their studies.

An example where no harm has been caused education. In the present year, there is no difference for anyone who wishes to pursue higher education as many government universities have been established. This is where the government of this kingdom lightens the burden of the less fortunate. For those who are capable can also continue their studies at this government university. In addition, there are many loans for those who wish to pursue their studies at home or abroad, for example PTPTN, MARA, and so on. So, the whole media plays an important role in spreading this information.

The difference between these two examples is to involve deep feelings, burdens, and thoughts in resolving a future problem. Both of which involve the future and are the things that need to be emphasized. Both of these can be prevented if the media is not biased and uses the media as good as possible to release important information to the public. For example, through tv, radio, advertising to make it easier for the public to know it.

Facebook Article's

Facebook has become the most popular social media network online, for business, social or personal use. Based on the short article below, share your own Facebook experience and analyze your own “Facebook behaviour”. How does FB help or distract you from what you want to do and achieve? How about your social life? Are you more active/expressive on social media, or in physical meetings with friends and family? Are you an active user (constantly posting status updates, links etc.), or an ‘observer’ user (mostly only browsing others’ news than posting your own)? Share some thoughts on the article’s findings.


Facebook has become the most popular social media network online, for business, social or personal use. It is really true and for me Facebook really a good way of communicating as well as one of the tools to find information.

I have been using Facebook for a very long time and I am an active user. I use Facebook to communicate with my family and friends. From Facebook, we can update each other on the latest news or information that we can share together. Besides that, as well with Facebook, you can also able to locate for your long lost friend.

On the other hand, Facebook can also create group and from there, we can share information within the group for any projects that we need to do. Another useful thing that Facebook can assist us is we can create an Event.  From the event, we can indicate if we need to set up any meetings or gathering. It is really very useful tools.

What sad things happened in Facebook nowadays is some people have added information that the young generations should not look on it. This kind of information, we should find a way on how to stop such information being advertise to the public.

Another new way of selling nowadays, Facebook is use to selling products online. This the fastest way for people to make money. It is good but some people also take for granted to cheat  people and whoever decided to purchase particular product will have to check first on either it is genuine or not.

Lastly, I use Facebook to chat with my friend and family. Besides chatting, you can also do video call. This is really great as you can communicate easily and need not to go out to meet them.

So, my conclusion is Facebook is really a popular social media for people to interact within each other in a faster way as well an impressive tool for business, social or personal use.
