critical thinking week 6
critical thinking 1After i read the article that uploaded by lecturer, i can understand what stereotype means. Stereotypes can pretty much be considered the same everywhere: simplified, reductive generalizations of an individual or group of individuals.The way a stereotype is experienced varies within media. Stereotypes in cartoons operate in a manner different than most other forms of portrayals due to the images being exaggerated.
Below are the explaination by Friedwald and Beck and Sampson that i took from the article :
Friedwaldand Beckstate that “certainly every form of motion picture, from epic drama to two-reel comedy, presented racial stereotypes, but because the animated cartoon so strongly relies on caricature and exaggeration, it has received a special amount of criticism”. Sampson states that “results from studies by qualified scholars have shown that, in general, stereotyping of another race serves as effective vehicle for others to enhance their own self-esteem and to acquire a sense of personal power and perhaps to reinforce their own feeling of inherent superiority”.

The example of media stereotype that i had been seen before is the disney cartoon " Lilo and Stich". The story of this cartoon in every series was like that: the Hawaiian girl Lilo will met an illegal genetic experiment - that is stich's cousin in each series stories, they will name them used number from 001 to 626. At first, the illigal genetic experiment must catch by Captain Gantu. Then, Lilo and Stich will do their best to catch back the Stich's cousin. Lastly, Lilo and Stich sure will sucessful catch back them. Then at the end, Lilo and Stich will give a job to them depends on their function itself.
Although its story was quite similar in every episod, but i still like it very much. I like to watch what the function of different illgal genetic experiment, they all had a very interesting function and at the end of the story, they will used their special function to do some contribution to the residents in Hawaii that arranged by Lilo.
