Stereotyping

I absolutely believe negative stereotypes exist in the media. In order to be politically correct, we use terms and make assumptions that strive not to offend others. I went to Humor U this past weekend and there was a black guy and he joked about how he was always asked the same two questions, "Do you play football?" and "How long have you been a member of the Church?" The answers are "No," and "All my life," but the stereotypes lead us to believe otherwise. One of the best examples of stereotype bashing is Dove's Campaign For Real Beauty. This company has gone above and beyond using average everyday women to market products that are made for everyone, not just those who are size 0 and smaller.

Click here and watch "Amy," you'll be glad you did.
