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.
