Miscellaneous Post #1

For the past two weeks our class has been working on a project based on the stereotypes we see in the media (movies, music, television, etc.). My group for this project consists of Thanh, Jenna, Alicia, and Josh. This project has been extremely interesting and has really opened my eyes. After reading, "Unlearning the Myths That Bind Us," I realized how the media has given us this "secret education." It was hard for me to look at childhood movies and see what stereotypes were portrayed and how that may have influenced the way I react to certain things. Furthermore, by looking into these movies I have been able to connect things to the Delpit reading and many more that we have looked at. I'm interested to see what media the other groups bring up in our presentations on Tuesday.
