Blog Assignment: TOPIC 3

Critical Reflection on Media Stereotype.

1)Stereotype according to Wikipedia is, A stereotype is a preconceived idea that attributes certain characteristics (in general) to all the members of class or set. Media stereotype is widely used with negative connotation when it is referring to a particular individual that has a characteristic.

2)In my personal experience, other media stereotype that I've seen on TV or movies are such as the "emo stereotype". The "emo" that i'm talking about here is the "emo" sub fashion culture in this world. Most music television channels display the emo stereotype such as, cutting their ownself. In my opinion, this is very stereotypical in my sense.

Personal Reflection On the Class

This week I had no class since it was a public holiday. On that day, I was in Sabah, and I don't think its necessary for me to explain everything inside here :P Thanks
