Exploring Cultural Subtext of Media Content. October 20, 2014. November 17, 2014. I have a slight obsession with the show Parks and Rec, and one of my favorite characters is Tom Haverford, played by Aziz Ansari. To give you some background, Parks and Rec follows a government office and it’s employees. Tom is an administrative assistant in the office who was born in the United States but whose heritage is Indian. I would not say this show is respectful of the Indian culture because it is barely mentioned,...

Exploring Cultural Subtext of Media Content. October 6, 2014. October 6, 2014. Lately there has been a lot of buzz about a woman in Ohio who is suing a sperm bank for inseminating her with a different donor sperm than the one she had requested. While these are the facts of the story, there are several ways in which this story is being framed, and it is important to understand the ways in which it’s being done. Because the child is “half-black.”. White Privilege and Walt Disney. October 22, 2014 at 5:01 am.

Exploring Cultural Subtext of Media Content. Modern Family with Modern Stereotypes. September 15, 2014. Some of the stereotypes are negative. For example, Gloria’s character is very quick to anger and can be incredibly unreasonable and stubborn. She is also very loud and hard to understand. Whenever she discusses her life before Jay, she talks about how poor and violent her village in Columbia was and how wild and crazy her family and friends are. White Privilege and Walt Disney →.

White privilege and its victim. September 21, 2014. What is white privilege? As an Asian girl studying in the US, I clearly see there’s something different about the way we Asian be treated in the US, which could be explained by the white privilege concept above. In conclusion, white privilege has been such a controversial issue and should be taken into serious consideration in order to create a better and more equal society. 8220;Yellow fever” and Stereotype about Asian women.

Multicultural Advertising through a Vietnamese’s eyes | Hip's
https://mhle234.wordpress.com/2014/11/17/multicultural-advertising-through-a-vietnameses-eyes
Multicultural Advertising through a Vietnamese’s eyes. November 17, 2014. So advertising has been a part of everyone’s life, whether we notice about that or not. Advertising can be seen everywhere: on Television, through radio, on newspaper, on the way to work, etc. But what is Advertising anyway?

However, because multic...

Stalking in media as a new trend or not? November 10, 2014. November 17, 2014. For the last few months, there has been a musical phenomenon called Robin Thicke, which has been famous for his Music Video “Get her back”. The MV raised the attention of the public not only for its melody but also for its purpose: actually Getting his wife back! In western culture we have Shake Spears’ masterpiece: “Romeo and Juliet” with the similar scene when Romeo was waiting for Juliet under her balcony. I agree with you ...
