Media and Identity

Media can entertain, inform and influence the way people think about themselves and others. Read the fictional media examples below, then investigate their messages. There is no single “right” way to be yourself.

The fictional feed

A group is planning a class podcast about hobbies. They notice these messages in a fictional media feed:

A. “Real artists use expensive gear.” A polished ad shows a child with a costly camera.

B. “There’s no one way to be creative.” A short clip shows children making music, comics and dance routines.

C. “Boys don’t do dance.” A comedy post makes fun of a boy who enjoys dancing.

1.Which message gives a stereotype about a group? Explain what assumption it makes.
2.Which message is most likely to make someone think that money is needed to be creative?
  • A
  • B
  • C
3.True or false: Seeing a media message can influence how someone feels, but it does not decide who that person is.

4.Complete the sentence: A stereotype is a simple belief about a group that may not be for every person in that group.
