ABCDs, Mass Media and Discrimination

Pls do look through the video about Killing Us Softly Advertising's Image of Women to recap what we learn in tutorial today. Pls take down important words/phrases/ideas that are important to understand the more complex issues.



For those who are unable to view the video (you probably do not have flash), cut and paste this link:

For homework, pls find ads that depict other forms of stereotype eg racism, ageism or religious stereotypes. Save the picture or link online such as in Dropbox or email it to yourself as your work is going to be shared in class.

Based on the definitions and interpretations given above, do remember the differences between discrimination and prejudice and also how stereotypes play a part. Remember that prejudice is an attitude whereas discrimination is the outward behaviour or actions based on those prejudicial attitudes - something like Syafiqah's definition.
