Stereotypes In Magazines And Advertising

Stereotypes

Age: stereotype that old people are always angry and shout at children - people perpetuate this because they think old people are angry when they see young people having happy lives because they can no longer do that.

Gender: the stereotype that women should be caring and stay at home doing traditional housekeeping chores, this is commonly shown because traditional ideals are still valued by older generations and people who have traditional views.

Ethnicity: the stereotype that black women are very manly and loud, this is used in media because they create good stories for entertainment.

Sexuality: stereotype that all lesbians are butch and manly - this is used because people like to use the idea that lesbian couples want to imitate heterosexuality.

Class: the stereotype that lower/working class people are all dirty and 'chavvy' which is perpetuated so that the class systems will stay in place which benefits upper classes and the government.
