1. How did you choose what stereotype to focus on? Why did you choose the stereotype you selected?
A: Our group was having trouble choosing the topic. My group member were changing topic quite a bit but I was okay with it. We finally came to the decision about "Women are useless" or "Unsuccessful women". We chose this topic because we thought it would be interesting to observe and to critically think about.
2. The media you created is intended to respond and resist a current stereotype. Do you believe your media actually accomplished this? Why or why not?
A: No because we didn't have a movie clip to show to the class. I was so nervous. I felt like my group didn't accomplish as much about resisting the stereotypes. The topic was very unique but it didn't turn out the way I had plan. I was super ready but I found out that the movie clip weren't email to Ms.Vasich. I put a lot of effort to wrap things up and we had to separate the work while my group member had to find the movie clip. For me, I thought I had fail to even get to the point of explaining it.
But I try and so did my group member. I know my fellow classmates were confused and I was trying to come up with the best answer as I could but I felt pressured. I know for sure that I didn't do a good job of it but whatever at least I gave it my best shot. Hopefully, next time, we'll be ready and organized to present.
3. One of our overarching questions for this class is "How can we use media to EMPOWER us, create awareness, and change the world?" Please respond to this question as you consider the work you did for the alternative media project. Ultimately, you need to ask yourself what you've learned about creating media that really means something. What was difficult about the process? What worked? Why does this project matter?
A: I think that media is used to change the way people think or feel. Media can makes people look at things in a different ways. It was difficult, like I said, I knew that I did poor job of explaining the project to the classroom. It matters because people need to know that stereotypes are just made-up stuff about another race or whatever and it cause the problem to get bigger. Like for example, Lindsey Lohan, has been drinking and she ruin her career. She was very popular but it turn out that she wasn't the perfect girl that people thought she was. I can understand that no one is perfect but when your a big celebrity icon, the paparazzi would do anything to put you on the magazines. They would want the bad stuff about you for the most part. Or when the 9/11 happened, people started labeling all Muslims terrorist. I hope that answer the question.
