How does the media contribute to stereotypes?

In: Stereotypes [Edit categories]

Answer:

The media leads to stereotypes is an excuse so people can complain and whine.
If you do not like a show because of stereotypes, or it's content such as sex, nudity, violence , blood, gore or language here's something to do.........now and check the ratings, now the show title of the show that you are watching, turn the T.V. off, watch something else by changing the channel. Get parental blocks to avoid this content in the first place, watch the show before your children see it and if you do not approve of the show........ put in another show, go to WWW.Common Sense Media.org to see what the show, video game, or movie is about before your children get it.
Now video games............If you do not approve by another game, now the ratings and check the ratings, check the packing, and check the video game's title, then you can go to WWW.Common Sense Media for all the media to check to see if it is the recommended age for your child.If it's not don't buy it and buy another video game.....they'll live.
