DISCUSSION PROMPT: In the first lecture for this week we discussed media stereotypes of different social groups. For this discussion, answer the two following questions:  1- How do you think mass media influence our ways of looking at different social groups in the US? 

2-And, what are the consequences in our daily life, in particular considering its social and political dimensions ? 

You can reference readings, lectures, but also additional articles, TV shows (both entertainment and news), and things that have been happening on the news. 

In addition to the information in the lectures and the readings, consider this news story that talks  about effects of gender and racial stereotypes on children: How stereotypes in TV shows and movies may impact your child's development (链接到外部网站。)
