When one expresses sexual innuendos towards others, the individual must be corrected immediately. Failing to take corrective measures is proof of acceptance. As a nation we can control the Media. This can be accomplished with boycotting those networks allowing stereotyping, or deliver false hope, or myths. Another way to control media is stricter sanctions on what is broadcast on local television. Furthermore, by implementing tougher federal compliance can cripple the networks. Impose large fines on those stations failing to comply. Individuality is what makes us all different. Therefore, citizens need to respect each other at all times. A citizen who’s egotistical behavior must be eliminated from society. Failing to respect each other’s sexuality, dress demeanor or place of employment will not be
Media shape the perception of our society and have a different of framing in choosing the story for our society. Media framing had effect on how the stereotype perception of Latino in the reality.

The usage of media is huge in nowadays. People rely on different kinds of media to receive information in their everyday life because they are thirsty for the diverse and informative content. However, inaccurate portrayals of people from different races always appear in the media and audience will exaggerate those portrayals by their inflexible beliefs and expectations about the characteristics or behaviors of the portrayals’ cultural groups without considering individual variation (Ting-Toomey and Chung, 2012); in fact, it is also called as stereotypes. According to a study by the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism at San Francisco State University (Stein, 2012), racial stereotyping continues to occur in media and the mainstream media's coverage of different cultural groups is full of biased reporting, offensive terminology and old stereotypes of American society. It specifically emphasizes that majority of the stereotyped characters in media will only bring out the dark side of their cultural groups which many of them might not be true, especially for the portrayals of black community: African American.
Social media includes many forms of stereotyping; racial, gender-based, ethnicity, and even occupations. Many television shows today portray some form of stereotyping. Stereotypes can lead to prejudice and discrimination just by showing that it is okay through television shows. Even though stereotyping can be hurtful to the individual or group more than likely it will continue to be used in the future.
In the past American society and culture has set social norms for women to keep acting and doing things that a proper lady should do. However, women rebelled and changed the rules of what was expected from the past towards their own set of guidelines, because women didn’t want to follow the old rules of American culture anymore. Once women where liberated from some of the rules the “double standard” continues to follow women around especially when it comes to sexual actions. On the subject of this Sex in the City is a show all about sex the 4 main characters dialogues in the show. For illustration, Kim Catrall’s character in the show demonstrates she has quite an appetite for sex and men. The characters stigma affected her profession because the companies she wanted to work with knew of her reputation, as a result, she would lose clients due to being slut shamed. In this case there was the injustice of the double standard and affecting her livelihood because she is a woman. But when a man has this type of behavior whether he’s a prowl to sex in a social environment or at work, he doesn’t have pay the consequences of his sexual actions. For example, Donald Trump was exposed for his behaviors he did in the past, but it only affected him now because he is running for president but was
In conclusion media does have an action in promoting stereotypes by creating misassumptions they have on a certain race without knowing their ethnic religion or group that well. People will believe it from thinking that all things on TV or news are all true and should be listen to. Media that influence these stereotype are so bad that it makes people think that it is true and feel that they know everything about another race without knowing the real truth, but by contradictory thoughts whether it is true or not.

Over time evolution becomes prominent in the world. The way that things where done in the past has become extinct. A prime example of this is the presidential election over the past two presidential terms. From the times of Nixon and john f Kennedy till potential future presidents Hillary Clinton and Donald trump. The use of social media and television has influenced potential younger voters through on going presidential election through hashtag slogans, presidential filters and news outlets.
Stereotyping and prejudices can be spotted everywhere. They can be seen in advertisements, on television, in the newspaper, and on national news as well.

Whether you 're off or on the social media there will always be stereotyping because we all do it without noticing it. Stereotyping is the way to fit in society, just like how Sandy in Grease became rebellious just to fit in the description Danny was looking for. The characters in Grease used all types of stereotypes, for instance; being cool, popular, tough, getting into trouble, smoking, drinking and other stereotyping. As the media increases with their stereotyping and showing their audience of how the ideal woman or man should be, stereotyping will continue to happen. In these cases different types of stereotyping is amongst it whether it be gender, racial, sexuality, ethnicity, or social class.

So let 's take this as a lesson that stereotyping is inevitable and will continue to happen as long as we take in what the media wants to show us or what one wants to believe from another
Women have long been exploited through pornographic material, such as videos, photos and literature, these materials, more-so now, than ever, portray women purely as sexual objects. The evolution of the business? popularity has done nothing but help fuel a false impression, subjugating women in modern day culture and society, yet still, banning pornography in the US would be nearly impossible, due to complex issues dealing with the first amendment and obscenity laws. With instances of discrimination based on sexual orientation, race or sex being in most cases illegal, the practice of pornography should most definitely not be acceptable or perpetuated, especially in a country like the US where this said industry defies everything of which our country is founded upon. This rise [in popularity] looks as if it is related, almost in a hand by hand parallel, with growth of sexual violence against women in America.
Despite some opposing ideas, the stereotypes in the media have negative impacts for both men and women and also children. I personally think that the media should not place a huge barrier in between the genders because it only creates extreme confinements and hinders people from their full potential.

When I was in high school a student by the name of Ife went into a coma after a heat stroke and died from a brain aneurism all within 24 hours. His parents were in Africa at the time. The next day I showed up to school wearing all blue alongside 800 other students to show respect towards Ife and his family. Many students and faculty even donated money to help. Together we cried, celebrated a life taken too soon, and supported one another through a hardship. How did everyone find out about this tragedy though? How did everyone know to wear blue? Why did a whole community of people who didn’t really know each other come together as one? The answer is social media. One text was spread across Instagram with hashtags such as #ripIfe or #blue4Ife
