The Impact Media Has on How people build perception
- Self-Perception: Seeing the same old stereotypes over and over might change your views about yourself and your peers.
- Job Decisions: When the media keeps showing the same old jobs “for men” or “for women,” some folks might feel like they can’t go for different careers.
- Views on Culture: A lot of times worldwide media sticks to one story, and this kind of impacts the way local cultures see themselves.
Ways to Bring Fairness Between Genders in Media
- Making Varied Stuff: Push and encourage those who make media to show real different gender identities.
- Stories For Everyone: Include characters who go against old cliches and show real-world variety.
- Rules of the Game: Fight for both men and women to get equal chances in boss jobs.
- Wake Up, Watchers: Teach the audience to think about what they watch and to ask for characters that look more like real people.
