Watch the first 12:30 minutes of Bell Hooks views on Cultural Criticism and Transformation. (note: there are several very difficult subjects discussed, and visual examples from movies are used to support these examples; more examples are used to further explore each of these themes throughout the remainder of this video) https://youtu.be/1NvD6Csz3IM.
Does mass media promote images of equality by leveling racial, ethnic, and gender differences or do they promote inequality through exclusion and exaggeration of difference? Does mass media reinforces the viewpoints of white, male, corporate culture or does mass allow for the authentic expression of racial, ethnic, and sexual identity. Discuss at least two examples from popular culture to support your article. Analyze the examples and unpack the messages or themes that you believe are conveyed by the examples and discuss their impact on people’s attitudes.
