STEREOTYPING

There are three main questions from the Journalism class 4250 at the University of North Texas which I would like to answer in brief here, they are as follows:

1. What's a good defination for stereotyping?

Answer: A good defination for stereotyping is judging some one for what they look like and notnecessarily what they do or say.For example.A front page of a magazine may show a picture of a nude woman.The picture may convay wrong message to the reader or the public. The public may think that the nude woman on the frontpage of the magazine is a prostitue; that's stereotyping.

2. If you think of the cover of the magazine showing a nude woman, how does it stereotypewomen?

Answer:
It stereotypes women in the sense that many readers may judge women as "women are too lust for sex or prostitution."

3. How does it construct a male reader?

Answer:
The male reader usually get's so much attracted to women who stay nude or naked either onpictures or physically in person. When a woman is nude or naked, the nude message constructs men's hormones to become sexually active at a terrific speed (approximately 120 miles per hour.)

Conclusion
Stereotyping is usually unfair because some people can be missunderstood to be what they aren't. Stereotyping can either do you good or harm you depending on who is judging you and what their interest is all about. No wonder many women have been raped because of stereotyping as a result of the way some women dress (nude, offensive and attracting sexual attention to men).

Recommendation
I recommend that all girls and women should dress properly and behave in a reasonable manner in order to reduce the high rate of rape cases.

Mind you, prevention is better than cure.
